I like the tiki, DH. I've been planning a righteous tiki-bar man cave at home for some time now. I just have to enclose part of my three car carport to do it.
That's a nice look. I like both the hat and the shirt. Like you, I too see those as being in the same family as the Hawaiian shirt, as both are casual summer shirts meant to be worn untucked. I have one or two around that I've worn as a tattoo smock on occasion. I've noticed a lot of barbers...
I just watched an episode of Supernatural (my wife's current favorite show) where one of the brothers gets pulled back in time to 1944 Chicago by the Greek god Cronos, who has turned into a time-traveling serial killer of sorts. He teams up with Eliot Ness (yes, that Eliot Ness) to kill Cronos...
Fantastic dinner tonight a Crunk Manor: 1/2 pound hamburger steak infused with garlic and chargrilled, grilled onions and mushrooms, fried squash and potatoes (diced), hot buttered cornbread. Man, I'm full.
Here's one of my watercolors from almost 25 years ago, recently scanned from a 35mm slide of the original. It's of a Parker Carousel Horse circa 1920. The original piece was featured (and sold) in my first one-man gallery show in the early '90s.
I agree. It looks great as garnish for a Bloody Mary, and makes for a handy stir stick. But when I'm finished with my drink, the celery will still be whole, sitting in the empty glass.
Yeah, I agree 100%. Pee Wee Herman's look fits that character well, but then again he was playing it for comedic effect and meant to look awkward on purpose. I don't understand how anyone could wear these skinny suits today and think they look good. It's just a rehashing of the "mod" suits of...
Wow, how we differ. As much as I like cauliflower, celery is probably my most hated vegetable. I don't like anything about it, texture or taste, raw or cooked. Cannot stand it. It's about the only vegetable I will not eat.
I guess different strokes for different folks are what makes life so...
I think the WWII era was the apex of military style for both the Allies and Axis forces. I have always had a penchant (guilty pleasure) for German regalia in particular.
Just watched The Asphalt Jungle on DVD from my Warner Bros. Film Noir Collection box set (Volume 1). I'd seen it before in bits and pieces but this was the first time I'd watched it uninterrupted. I actually watched it twice in a row, the second time around with commentary. A great film. I like...
Tonight it's Guy Fieri brand smoked Cajun-style sausage with rice, grilled on the Foreman and being consumed as I type this. First time I've tried it and it's pretty darn good.
Man, I have to disagree with you there. I happen to love cauliflower just about any way but raw, and I'll even eat it that way if there's a good dip around. My fave is steamed and served with hot, drawn butter. Of course just about anything is good when served with hot, drawn butter.
This reminds me of meeting a kid once while on a camping trip with my grandparents. We (the other kid and I) were both about eleven or twelve at the time. This was the late '70s and I was a huge fan of the rock group KISS. So I pull out this photo album full of photos and magazine clippings I'd...
Sorry, but you lost me at Lawrence Welk. I was much more of the Hee-Haw set, and more importantly, so were my parents, and grandparents. And since Hee Haw always came on opposite Lawrence Welk in our area, well, guess who won out? In later years I tried to watch reruns of Welk, but just...
I was artistic from a very young age, so my parents arranged for private art instruction when I was barely in grade school. I was painting in oils and acrylics by the time I was in third or fourth grade. By my first year of junior high I was enrolled in the high school art program. I picked up...
Seeing this thread inspired me to dig my old Cooper A2 out of storage and, while it was a bit warm for a jacket today, I managed to suffer through it long enough to get a few shots. I must admit I was a bit disappointed in the fit. I was about 40lbs heavier the last time I wore this jacket (a...
