    What's on your keychain?

    Keychain? No, not quite. I have two of those Remote/Fob things--one for my wife's SUV and one for my truck--connected by a couple of those key rings that are roughly the size of an American 25¢ piece. On those I have the key for my truck, the key for her SUV, key for the front door of the...

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Could be. Her hat seems a bit ostentatious for school though. :confused:

    Akubra Overload

    Careful now. The green one looks so good on her that she might just want to keep it for herself. ;)

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    ^ The young lady in this photo looks familiar to me, but I have no idea why.

    This is one of the reasons I keep my keys in one pocket, coins/change in another, my wallet in another, and so on. And, unless I have a good reason not to, make sure I return them all to those pockets just as soon as I possibly can. Doing that has really cut down on the amount of time I waste...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    ^ Scrolling down, I saw the photo first and my first thought was that they were dressed as cacti, not pickles. Prickly or sour, either way I'm not sure it would make for a good first impression.

    Yeah, I'd much rather have someone I find attractive flash my eyes. ;)

    Just keep reading. Your vision will either get worse, or it won't. If it doesn't, nothing to worry about. If it does, see your optometrist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Mid-40s for me. After doing some work around the house I discovered I had a splinter or smallish metal shaving stuck in my left thumb. As I was trying to locate it, I realized I was moving my hand farther from or closer to my face to help my eyes focus--"trombone vision", I dubbed it, i.e...

    An Akubra update

    ^ Nice! Possibly a bit too tapered to wear atop my square block of a head if I were to own one, but a jaunty "angles are attitudes" adjustment would probably take care of that. ;)

    Oh, okay. No improvement needed, except perhaps to continue to educate we 'Mericans about how things are done elsewhere on the planet. ;)

    An Akubra update

    Not Akubra, but Dobbs: Different pattern and construction from the hats worn by both of the Gentlemen mentioned upthread, but a nice comfortable hat manufactured by Dobbs and purchased by me in September of 2019 to keep me warmer on those cold southern California nights while I'm walking my dog.

    Sorry, I'm not 100% certain what you seem to be asking here, or even if you're asking a question. I think you're trying to determine exactly when someone had to be born to be a member of the Baby Boomer generation; if I'm right, the answer according to the "experts" is 1946-1964. And, just in...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, right. Guess I gotta' give him props for that.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I had to look him up. Can't say I'm a fan.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Think about all of the movies you've seen starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now think about the one you thought was the worst. The Running Man is far worse than that. Someone would have to pay ME before I'd watch it again, and even then I'd have to seriously consider it. I mean, I like Arnold...

    Part of the problem with your "argument" is that you're overlooking one thing--this forum is called "The FEDORA Lounge" for a reason--we are specifically interested in the time frame when Fedoras (and suits, and the various related accoutrements) were worn regularly by most men, which would be...

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

    Short answer: no. Long explanation: Because, quite often, any number of people, animals, animate or inanimate objects, buildings, food products, vehicles, and on and on, are involved over a sustained period of time, and it can be impossible to account for each and every little seemingly...

    Star Trek

    "Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant." Admiral James T. Kirk, Star Trek III Ahh, feels good to use that quote on someone else for a change; I'm usually the blockheaded, "Just do it the way we've always done it" member of my family and friends that it's aimed at. As for the "contortions" and...

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    The last water heater I bought remained in service for a period of just over eight years before the bottom literally fell out. Depending on the product, modern companies are being forced into using less durable materials that they can obtain for less money so they can continue to produce...
