    What's for Dinner?

    I'll have to look for it. We've only got one Pig in the area and even it's a bit too much of a drive for me to shop there often. When I go out of my way to grocery shop, it's usually to a Publix. Otherwise I go to a Big Star because it's just down the street. Choice is a bit limited there, but...

    The Fedora that fits your face.

    I tend to concur with some of the others that, among the hats pictured, the first one would be my choice. It's very classic and elegant without calling too much attention to itself. Number two is too light and modern looking (may be better with a different band). Number three is too flashy and...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Still looking for me a good classic tight-weave Panama, preferably something in the $50-60 range. Any suggestions?

    "Your Fire Department" (1949)

    I remember going on a field trip to the local fire station when I was in grade school. It was in a nice old two-story brick building downtown. Living/sleeping quarters upstairs, firetrucks downstairs with the obligatory fireman's pole, which we kids were all allowed to slide down supervised...

    What's for Dinner?

    That sounds delicious. Reminds me of the baked cavatini I make sometimes with italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, pineapple, onions . . . basically everything I like on a pizza, but baked into assorted pasta with marinara and layers upon layers of mozzarella. Man...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just recently re-watched "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" for about the 200th time. One of my favorite lines in the whole movie is when Charles Laughton (in a clip taken from The Bribe) asks Rigby Reardon (Steve Martin) "Do you know who I could be, Mr. Rigby?" to which Martin replies, "Hunchback of...

    What's for Dinner?

    Axley may be able to tell you better than I, as I've never been there, but from what I understand it's a sushi bar that happens to be located inside a convenience store. I know there used to be a place called Bubba's Bar & Grill in Huntsville that also served sushi. Only in the South, ehh?

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I find it ironic that within a span of about two years Mickey Rourke played characters named both Johnny Handsome and Johnny Favorite (Angel Heart).

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    When I was a small child my grandmother would tell me to, "Put away your play pretties", meaning my toys. They also referred to a comic book as a "funny book".

    Formal Wear Primer

    Looks very nice, Big Man. Hard to go wrong with such classic style, although (if you haven't already) I believe I'd plan on having those sleeves taken up just a bit, maybe an inch or two. Other than than that it looks perfect.

    What's for Dinner?

    Sometimes surprisingly good food can come from gas stations. I hear there's one in Memphis that serves exceptionally good sushi (if one is brave enough to try it). We have one that's just around the corner that does a great meat and three daily for $5.99. They make a mighty good meatloaf every...

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Amen. I completely agree. Although, back in the early '90s I was a partner in a commercial design firm for a few years. One day a client came to us with the idea for an adjustable measuring spoon. I was tasked with designing it. The parameters were it had to be cheap, lightweight plastic...

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    This one's not Golden Age, but still an outstanding film noir (ok, some would say neo-noir): Oliver Stone's 1997 film U-Turn. Great story. Great cast. Great "B-picture" atmosphere (I think Stone tried really hard to give it that low-budget indie feel). I don't understand why it's not more...

    Reading on paper or screen

    My wife has a Kindle tablet and enjoys reading that way, but not me. I read a lot online every day, but not when it comes to books. I have to sit down with a printed book in hand to enjoy it. A couple of times when I've downloaded public domain classics for free, I had to print them out to read...

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    If that's the case, them is some mighty big squid bellies. Either way, all I can say is YUM!

    Solving the butter dish debate....

    I seem to run across plain glass or ceramic butter dishes all the time at flea markets and thrift stores. They usually go for a couple of bucks.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I find any natural looking hair color to be far more attractive than an obvious dye-job, a few bleach-blonde starlets from Hollywood's Golden Age excepted.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Maybe a better choice of words would have been "Hippie musician type".

    Yeah, no need to ask if someone was Pentecostal or Church of God. You could always spot them a mile away.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    I played a music festival last weekend and had people who upon meeting me for the first time wanted to hug as a way of greeting me. Of course they were mostly musical hippie types.
