    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.

    Then you are probably NOT of the lower ilk I was referring to. Social class does not always have to do with the amount of money you have.

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

    The current trend among young (and some not so young) women of putting hard blonde streaks in their hair. I think that looks absolutely ridiculous and is neither sexy nor attractive. I'll be glad when that fad is over.

    That is a hard one for me to deal with and I was born and raised in the South. Usually, if I acknowledge the question at all, I'll tell them flat out that I don't attend any church. But sometimes, if they catch me in the right mood I'll mess with them a little bit by saying something like, "The...

    Ever notice how no matter what part of the country you are in, the lower the class of person, the thicker their regional accent? You'll find it different but just as severe in Northern "white trash" as it is in Southern rednecks, but the upper-middle classes speak about the same everywhere...

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

    Heard something funny the other day. A guy was explaining the difference between Hollywood and West Hollywood. He said in Hollywood you need at least a Mercedes to get bl**n. In West Hollywood all you need is a d**k.

    What Are You Reading

    Right now I'm reading the Complete Novels of Dashiell Hammett, collected in one volume. I'm currently about halfway through The Maltese Falcon, a very interesting read after having seen the film so many times over the years. In the book, when Spade tells Gutman to "keep your gunsel away from...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched that the other day myself. Been on a space kick lately, watching a lot of films about space: Gravity, Defying Gravity(the series), Europa Report, The Astronaut Farmer, Apollo 18, The Right Stuff. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe I need to visit the Space and Rocket Center and get it...

    What's For Breakfast...

    Sometimes you just can't beat pancakes and bacon, even for supper.

    I'm a Southerner who happens to love the North as well. You know the old joke about the difference between the North and South being that you never hear of anyone retiring to the North? Well, I might just be the rare exception to that some day. I love the dirt-cheap home prices I'm seeing in...

    Yes, I was speaking of recreational users only. Medicinal user get a free pass, and more power to them if they genuinely need it.

    I just clicked on the first page of this thread by mistake and saw for the first time, LizzieMaine's above list. I still can't stop laughing. So funny and so right on the mark for the most part. Helvetica has to be the best.

    I understand the need for municipal codes, neighborhood covenants, homeowner associations and the like. But like I said, as a product of growing up in the rural South where those things didn't exist, I just have a hard time with the notion of anyone telling me what I can and cannot do or have on...

    Loud music, yes. If your neighbor's music is so loud that if affects your right to a quiet evening at home, that's a clear violation of YOUR rights. However, the way I see it, unless your neighborhood had a covenant that you both agreed to before moving in, then if your neighbor chooses to...

    I don't know about that, Man. You start to smoke a little dope and before you know it that weekly haircut doesn't seem so important anymore. Pretty soon you've traded your suit and tie for a tie-dye tee shirt and jeans, your wingtips for birkenstocks, and your old-spice for patchouli oil. You...

    There is an old saying: "Your freedom ends where my nose begins." Libertarianism is about personal freedoms - for people to be free to make their own choices in their own lives, their own bodies, their own well-being and their pursuit of happiness - freedoms that do not directly or adversely...

    If you can figure out a way to convince society as a whole that intoxication is culturally and socially unacceptable, I would applaud your efforts and be on board with you 100%. Not saying it would be wholly possible, but we have managed to do that to a great extent with cigarettes. So who...

    I've stated my libertarian views on the drinking/drugs issue here before and don't feel the need to re-hash it as a whole. But I will say this: I think it is the height of disrespect to our young adults to tell them that at age eighteen (seventeen in some cases) they can be handed a gun...

    What's for Dinner?

    Potroast for me too. In the slow cooker for about 12 hours on low. It came out perfect. Never tried it with a side of cottage cheese. Might have to give that a go. Thanks, HD.

    What's for Dinner?

    Crab bites (imitation crab meat) and drawn butter. Neither of us felt like cooking tonight.
