    Show us your Guns!

    FYI . . Auto-Ordnance has just released a semi-auto "pistol" version of the classic 1927 A-1 Thompson SMG. Registering it as as a handgun allows for the original 10.5" barrel length without being classified a Class 3 firearm. I'll be putting in an order for mine in time for Christmas.

    Farrelly brothers' "The Three Stooges"

    It was when the Stooges did it.

    Farrelly brothers' "The Three Stooges"

    Hummm. Yes, Dumb and Dumber was such quality entertainment after all. Their casting attempts already show they have no clue. Clooney as who, Moe? I'm glad he passed. Larry David as Larry I could maybe have seen 20 years ago, but isn't he a little old these days? Sean Penn? You know he might...

    Last Man Standing

    Let's not forget Miller's Crossing is also essentially the same story, retold via an adaptation of both Red Harvest and The Glass Key. Both Miller's Crossing and Last Man Standing are among my favorite comtemporary films, the later being very underrated IMHO.

    Changeling - Clint Eastwood & Angelina Jolie

    Are you kidding? The two films have nothing in common except the title. The 1980 picture is a ghost story. I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid.

    Changeling - Clint Eastwood & Angelina Jolie

    The right tattoos can look incredibly sexy on a woman. However, her's look idiotic and trashy.

    Nudie Suits

    Would that artist happen to be Marty Stewart? I'm just guessing because I know him to be a big fan and collector of Nudie Suits as well as a big proponent of performers dressing for the stage. And I couldn't agree more. I think actors and musicians alike show a lot of disrespect for their...

    Nudie Suits

    Show us your Nudie Suits . . . Following the musicians thread, does anyone on here own any vintage clothing made the famous Nudie Cohn of Nudie's Rodeo Tailors, and other similar vintage or vintage-style stagewear? I don't own any, but I love to look at them. The closest thing I have...

    What are you Musicians wearing?

    A noble effort for sure, but if you don't mind some constructive criticism: high waisted trousers like those worn by the fellas in your avatar would look so much better. (It also bothers me to see someone wear both suspenders and a belt, but to each his own.)

    Woolworth's menu, circa 1958

    I'm just old enough (42) to remember the lunch/soda counters inside the Woolworth's and TG&Y stores downtown where I grew up, that existed at least up until the early '70's. This being in the South, they may have hung on to them here a little longer than the rest of the country. But I...

    Is the suit relevant in your life?

    Funny thing is I have a closet full of suits, and am constantly looking/planning for more, but I hardly ever have an occasion to wear one. I make my living these days as a tattoo artist & shop owner, where my typical work uniform is a solid color t-shirt (usually black) and classic Dickies...

    What are you Musicians wearing?

    Back when I was playing music for a living we always dressed for the occasion. We were a blues/jazz showband who never took the stage without a spiffy suit, though they were usually more lounge-lizard modern than retro. I've even gone so far as to buy matching instruments for the entire band...

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    I second the motion for "Public Eye." Only available on VHS, never DVD. For a time they offered it for download on Amazon, which I meant to do but never got around to it. Now I can no longer find it. I also wish they'd release the 1993-95 Showtime series "Fallen Angels" on US format DVD...

    Prohibition

    I believe that exception only applied to beer and wine, and not distilled spirits (and still applies to this day unless you are a registered distiller). My father-in-law homebrews both beer and wine, but, from all I've read, distilling would be against the law even for personal consumption...

    Prohibition

    I live in the heart of the bible belt, were "dry" counties and cities still exist. I don't live in one (thank God), but they are all around. In fact, as a bit of trivia, just about 60 miles up the road from me, Jack Daniel's distillery and world headquarters operates inside a dry county. You...

    Weird and Forgotten Movies

    I love 'The Loved One". Found it on DVD not too long ago and had to add it to my collection. Another really off-beat movie I'm rather fond of is "Charley Varrick", starring Walter Matthau. There is also a really odd, off-beat movie I remember seeing over and over again as kid but I can't...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Five out of the nine automobiles I curretly own qualify as vintage vehicles, but only one is truly golden era: My 1949 Chevy 3100 five-window pickup, which is what I'm pictured behind the wheel of in my current avatar. I do also have a 1948 Ford Flathead V8 (motor) that I'm building as a 50's...

    30's/40's Honolulu photos

    My father was stationed there during WWII and I have some of his photos (some showing topless hula girls and such) but most are just of friends, at the beach, his ship (he was Navy), and various shots around his military base. I'm looking for photos of the streets of Honolulu during this era...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    I can't believe some of you would hesitate to wear your pith helmets in public. It may look silly wearing one to the office or down a city street, because that's not the environment it was designed for. But I have no problem wearing mine sailboating, canoeing, hiking, or any other outdoor...

    30's/40's Honolulu photos

    In a request similar to the 1930's Miami photos thread, anyone know were I might find some good reference photos of Honolulu, Hawaii street scenes from the years leading up to and during WWII? Especially showing some of the seedier districts. I need it as reference for a short film project.
