    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    You're spot on sandwich and pie. I once railed against the available pizza in Italy as compared to Chicago's, and combo beef with sausage addictive. White Castles pre-covid did offer air mail sliders if that is still hungered. Gyros is also big with me, everthing on and stacked Wrigley Field...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    While passing through Terminal 3 O'Hare Airport a Chicago cop pal told me Bo Derek was inside Brookstone's bookstore, I went inside and attempted a converse, a clerk asked if she could help me just as I was about to start a move; Bo moved away; long story short. I tried to no...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    That Tarzan and Mate underwater scene is without doubt a singular skinny dip though secondary to Heddy Lamarr's nude swim in the Czech film Ecstasy, which Czech-Mated the jungle swinger. Caniff unbound undoubtedly would have penciled Burma in the buff. He tried with a bath scene which was...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    ^Seems a natural death. ================ Bobbitt suffered the cruelist spousal abuse that feminists quickly dismissed as somehow deserved. Penile surgical attachment and psychiatric hopefully led to a constructive life. Bobbitt was not castrated, so his voice remained soprano/baritone. Seemed...

    ^Wizard of Oz is the Thanksgiving film in my clan. We catch the game; eat the Bird; and watch Wizard of Oz. A Home Aloner I am most definitely not. I will vociferously argue against Kevin & krew whenever heresey rears its ugly head. A Christmas Carol either Sim or Scott dealer's choice is my...

    Bourbon Discussion Thread

    Low end glass hold elixir equivalence to upper crust bourbon, and, to be honest my plebeian palate is sated all the same but occasional curiosity does prompt a richer nip now and then or a much heralded moniker might be gifted and sampled. Though if it ain't broke don't fix it, works fine when...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    General Claire Chennault authorized a bordello be established to serve his American Volunteer Group aka The Flying Tigers only to have said establishment shut down by order of General 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell. Subsequently syphillis and gonorreha infection in the AVG rose. Chennault's joy house...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Speaking of dates. June St Clair. youzzzaa. And the Brooklyn Spy Trial is all the more remarkable for public discovery. Caniff writes literature not comic foolscap, Terry and The Pirates was well ahead of its time. And frankly given current comic fare still is. Out in the hustings caught in...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Much ado.... Long ago back in the Army I once raised my rifle and heard my deceased father's voice speak restraint. I can still see this kid stare terrified. Haunts me and triggers memories I try to forget. Other times. When the other dimension intrudes the effect burns branding.

    Bourbon Discussion Thread

    I favor Wild Turkey 101 as an excellent rye. The bird is a smooth kick sip, poured double shotgun over rocks with Etta James or Billy Eckstein serenading background after a hard week.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Thanks PI. While at Northwestern and Marianjoy I flirted like hell with the nurses, many of whom had never heard romantic poetry or Sapphic verse addressed to them. Just told them I am an Irish poet scoundrel...so I still have my fastball, Thanks again.

    A somewhat fallen by the cultural wayside ubiquitous slang designate Kipling's Gentlemen rankers last hash whipped at me inside Company A, 4th Infantry Battalion messhall Ft Polk, Louisiana nearly half century ago. 'Move your sorry ass boy or you'll GI this mess.';):)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Caniff is a 'mechanic' possessed a golden arm with deliberate touch, dealing death, confusion, intrigue and adroitly manipulating time and circumstance to accord contemporary history. Burma would overshadow April Kane so she has been dealt out for now. Same song HuShee. Hong Kong has fallen...

    I must see this. Salinger is a spectre whom has haunted me since forever and New York ices this cake.
