    The DINER.

    There's this place I've been going since I was a kid: The Elliston Place Soda Shop in Nashville. A real genuine vintage soda shop operating since 1939. Still has wall-boxes at every booth that controls the main jukebox in back. It's become a hip and trendy place over the past couple of decades...

    Show off the sports coats.

    I'd say the first one has a more 1930s fit, while the longer one looks more modern. The second one, to my eye, does not look too long, but of course it's hard to judge from just one photograph.

    What are you wearing today??

    That is an outstanding pairing. Wish I could find more true vintage trousers/jackets/suits, but being a modern 48R I just don't run across much vintage clothing in my size.

    What's for Dinner?

    Tonight at Crunk Manor: Blackened* tilapia with drawn butter and a guacamole salad. Pineapple green tea (iced) to drink. *Properly blackened the Chef Paul Prudhomme way - encrusted with cajun spices and pan-fried in a 500 degree skillet.

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

    Last I checked it was exactly $2.50 a can at a big box grocery retailer. At least they have several flavors to choose from now. Personally I've always liked it, especially pan fried in thick slices and served as a sandwich with bread, mayo and mustard.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    How about "scram" or "Get outta here, kid. You bother me."

    What's for Dinner?

    Late lunch/early dinner (to go) from one of my favorite Japanese/sushi places. A jade egg to start, followed by a bento box of beef negimaki and shrimp/vegetable tempura.

    Show us your vintage home!

    You're very welcome. I don't know of what used/vintage stores around B'ham might specialize in mid-century stuff, but in Nashville there are at least two I know of: the Downtown Antique Mall, and Pre-to-Post Modern. Both usually have some very nice pieces.

    Barbers in Maine, anyone?

    I cannot tolerate a barber who doesn't listen. Last time I went to the barbershop my regular barber, who always does exactly like I ask, was busy with several more customers waiting ahead of me. So I took the first chair that was available, which was his daughter, a (gasp) female barber. That...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Even as a child I got that "What in tarnation" was a contraction of the phrase "What in the entire nation?". As to "Galoot", however, I have no clue. My grandparents used to use the word 'kyarn" to describe something undesirable or beneath them, not worth their time. Used in the same manner as...

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

    Tofu absorbs and assumes the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. I personally love it in stir-fry dishes and soups especially.

    She's already close to full grown at about 7lbs. She's now around 8 months old. She's a haired Chinese Crested mix.

    Hey, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good couscous!

    Loungers' Pets

    This is one of our newest babies, Possum Agnes. "Possum" because she looked like a baby opossum when she was smaller, and "Agnes" because we think she's almost a dead ringer for the daughter Agnes in the film The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

    What's for Dinner?

    And now for dinner . . . a recreation of the Killer Nachos platter from Texas Chili Parlor (the same dish Kurt Russell is seen stuffing his face with in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof)

    Excellent start on a mid-century modern theme.

    What's for Dinner?

    Polish Sausage Dogs for this lazy Sunday afternoon. Fairgrounds Polish Sausage (my favorite brand) with grilled onions and yellow mustard.

    Can't remember if I've posted any of these before or not, but here is a group of some of the more skinny vintage from my collection:

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

    Even if you eat all the right foods, and do all the right things that are supposed to be good for you, eventually something is still going to kill you. Why not enjoy life while you have it instead of worrying about adding a few more days to your twilight years when you won't feel like doing crap...

    Excellent job, Mr. Jones. I'm hopeful that maybe I can do the same with my recently acquired Woodstock:
