    Show us your photography

    Amazing photos as always, Quigley Brown. You sir are an impeccable artist. Love the photo of the dapper bus passenger. I applaud his effort but his suit and hat both look about two sizes too large.

    Some people just want to be Indy!

    A pretty good pilot too from what I hear . . . they say he made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

    Money in Old West films

    I also find it interesting that inflation doesn't equally affect all prices: Average annual income today is 18 times greater than it was in 1946. The price of eggs has barely doubled while milk has increased times 5. and bread times 10. Current gasoline prices are 17 times that of the mid 1940s...

    Money in Old West films

    In the film The Big Sleep (1946) Private Eye Philip Marlowe states his fee as $25 a day plus expenses. I thought it's be interesting to compare that to other wages of the day as well as today. In 1946 the Federal Minimum Wage was $.40 (40 cents) per hour. The average non-supervisory wage was...

    Obviously their contributions to the forum will be sorely missed.

    What's for Dinner?

    OK, this is getting quite weird. That's exactly what we had . . . FRESCHETTA Naturally Rising Classic Supreme to be specific..

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I read an article about her and the discovery of her photographs some time ago. I'd live to see the documentary. Is it available on any streaming service?

    Homesteading

    When my wife inherited her grandparents' homeplace about four years ago, we moved from our home in the city to the small rural township where the property is located. We considered a homesteading lifestyle, as we now had a small plot of land to work with. We've considered raising chickens...

    Museum-grade replica Apollo-era NASA flight jacket

    That's an amazing story. It's not every day you get a phone call (or have a face to face) from someone who's walked on the moon. A very nice man who was gracious enough to take a look at some of my artwork, and afterward when he signed the print, he signed it "To a fellow artist. Best of luck in...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    My little video tribute to that very thing (for a contest). http://youtu.be/7EwkZ2_4kSE

    If you were candy....

    I'd be chocolate covered bacon, no doubt.

    Museum-grade replica Apollo-era NASA flight jacket

    Yes, I've thought about Adult Space Camp as well as Aviation Challenge. Maybe one day I'll get around to doing one of them. I've been to the Space & Rocket Center at least a dozen times over the years, mostly when I was a kid. But my last visit was probably 15 years ago, when I made a special...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I know they are classic and all that, but these have to be some of the most God-awful UGLY hats/caps known to man. I too can't imagine how anyone could think they look good in one. It makes you look like such a . . . well, a goober.

    What's for Dinner?

    Almost the same: Penne pasta with mushroom marinara, garlic bread, salad.

    Name The Last Time There Was So Much Naked

    Yep, Mr. Powers would know better than I because he lives there, but my take of SF is that you can do anything from visiting the haunts of hard-boiled crime writer Dashiell Hammett to witnessing an S&M orgy in the streets.

    What's for Dinner?

    Tonight at Crunk Manor it's homemade vegetable soup and cornbread. Oh, and bacon. Can't forget the bacon.

    Paintings that showcase vintage fashion

    Let's not forget those great pulp magazine illustrators of the '30s, '40s, and '50s . . .

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    Thank you. Both are actually self portraits.

    Museum-grade replica Apollo-era NASA flight jacket

    This thread has prompted me to dig out my DVD copy of The Right Stuff and watch it again. Thank you. I was born in 1966 but do remember watching the first moon landing on live TV, and the other moon missions that followed. Great memories. Growing up just outside of Huntsville, Alabama, where...

    Is there a Men Only section in this building?

    I'd say that the vast majority of this forum is dedicated to men's interests. If a lady wanted to drop by too on occasion, why should we keep them out? Are we keeping secrets to which they shouldn't be privy? Seems some of the ladies felt pestered by a few rude fellows and wanted a place all to...
