    What's For Breakfast...

    It's a mater sandwich kind of morning around here. I think I'll take mine on the front porch.

    What's for Dinner?

    If you like curry, we just found a terrific curry dish in Campbell's new Slow Cooker sauces: Moroccan Spiced Stew. Super easy. Just pour the contents of the package (we used two) over chicken (we used breast filets), cook on low for six hours in the crock pot and serve over rice. We had it...

    Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use

    Used daily in my profession is an item that has remained basically unchanged for more than a century: The electromagnetic coil tattoo machine. Below is a vintage 40s/50s era Bill "Jonesy" Jones machine from my collection. Although it still works perfectly, I prefer to use a replica, which I...

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    Turns out the fiddles and watercolor aren't the oldest items I own. I'd forgotten all about this object until I read the above post about the ancient tiles. But I do have a certified Spanish silver coin from the Atocha shipwreck of 1622. I wear it as a pendent mounted in an 18k gold bezel.

    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    The oldest man-made items I own are two German made violins from the late 1800's. One is a 4/4 size and the other is 3/4. I can play fiddle a little bit, but my tone is horrendous. It's by far my weakest instrument, but I love having them around. As Mark O' Conner said, "What other invention...

    Questions about vintage 1955 Levi's Denim Sawtooth Shirt.

    Thanks for the info. I suspected it might be something like that when I saw "Levis Vintage" on the hang tag.

    Questions about vintage 1955 Levi's Denim Sawtooth Shirt.

    I'm looking online at what an eBay seller is calling new with tags (NOS?) 1955 vintage Levis denim shirt with the sawtooth pocket flaps and pearl snap buttons. Price with shipping would be slightly more than double what a new modern version of the same shirt would cost me retail. Questions...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I thought the voiceover seemed a little forced at times, but in his dialogue while interacting with the other characters it came off very natural and I found it easy to forget it wasn't Bogey. I'd love to see someone do a new movie featuring Sacchi as an aging Spade or Marlowe compelled out of...

    It'd cost a fortune to hanger them all. Me, I'd take the Cub and the Stearman, and just for fun, the Mustang.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I was finally able to watch The Man With Bogart's Face from 1979. Since the movie is not available on DVD, I'd bought an old VHS copy of it some time ago off eBay. I recently had a friend transfer it to DVD for me and finally saw it. Certainly worth a watch if for nothing but Robert Sacchi's...

    Any way to tell the year model/date of manufacture on one of these things? The keys all seem to work OK, but it doesn't advance like it should. An easy fix?

    My thrift store find of the week: Picked up this neat old Woodstock typewriter at a local shop I frequent. Guy said it was recently donated by a church that until very recently still used it to type up the church bulletins. Ribbon is broken but I found I can still still order new ones for about...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    A bottle of Angry Orchard hard cider with a shot of Fireball cinnamon whisky. Imagine a MacDonalds apple pie in liquid form and you've hit it pretty close.

    What's for Dinner?

    I had a bum break into my tattoo studio a few years ago. He raided the fridge and found some pig ears which my apprentice had purchased to practice tattooing on. The poor ba***rd tried to cook them in the microwave and eat them. Must have been really hungry. By the way, dinner at Crunk manor...

    I remember when.....

    During my school years from '72 through '84, in a rural county school, in the South, kids carried pocket knives and it was no big deal. Many also carried tins of chewing tobacco in their hip pocket ( that would over time leave a clear circular pattern in their blue jeans) which some even chewed...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Yes, that is one of my very favorite modern "hat flicks" as well, along with Miller's Crossing and Road To Perdition.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched "Touch Of Evil" this evening from the DVD of the restored Welles cut. As it had been a few years since I'd seen it, I'd forgotten just how awesome this film is. Always a good ride, and so original in style. Welles was a true genius. It was also the first time I've watched it since...

    It's a Wonderful Life sequel underway

    Don't laugh, but I could see Nicolas Cage in the role.

    Not until people stop watching them.

    It's a Wonderful Life sequel underway

    If you'll remember, Casablanca was tried as a TV series back in the early '80s, with David Soul as Rick and Scatman Crothers as Sam. Horrible.
