My only "problem" with Laurel and Hardy is that when I was much younger the elementary school I attended (Kindergarten to sixth grade here) was required to keep us indoors during "recess" periods on days when the weather was potentially rainy. The school was supposed to have a library of...
I can't afford to travel the world so I don't know what the average day-to-day conditions are anywhere but within the self-imposed boundaries of my daily life, but here in the southwest corner of the continental U.S. they're still using credit/debit card machines that can/will read the magnetic...
Those girls weren't even born yet in the 80s. Or early 90s, for that matter. That being said, if that song had been released in the 80s it would likely have been quickly forgotten because it sounds like almost every other song released in the 80s...here in the U.S., anyway. On that note, not...
All of these so-called "conveniences" are only disguised as making our lives easier; they're actually for making the "lives" of companies and corporations easier by forcing us, the customers, to do their jobs for them.
Okay, I'll play. Top two photos, longer hair:
These photos, shorter hair:
Narrower brim in the bottom two photos as well, but it's the exact same hat, size 60. At that age (60) my hair didn't lose a significant amount of thickness by cutting it (not any more than aging caused, anyway) so...
My late wife and I last saw him when he was touring the "Manners & Physique" album here in the U.S. around the turn of the century. First and only time (so far) I've been front row (grabbing the guard rail, no less) at a proper concert. Good show, Adam was in good voice, danced around a bit if...
Right. Adam and the Ants was the band's name, with Adam as lead singer. Adam Ant was, and still is, the person--sort of the leader of the band, him being the lead singer, and he wrote or co-wrote most (if not all) of the songs. He's slowed down a bit over the years, gained some weight, and...
*sigh* Oh well, here goes. For a brief period of time in the late-70s and early 80s lip-synching was a bit of a craze here in southern California. Y'know, DJ plays a song, you get up and sing along without actually singing, pretending to be the artist singing the song. Eventually a local bar...
Meh. My freshman year of high school started in the second half of 1975 here in the U.S.. Heavy Metal bands were still trying to rule the charts, but that abhorrent noise called Disco was trying in earnest to take over; truly a terrible time for modern music if you had taste. Eventually the...
I'm nowhere near the "shave your head" stage, but I started developing the receding hair line and typical bald spot on the crown of my head about 25 years ago, so I've had time to think about them and plan ahead. Also, my fiancee really doesn't like short hair on men, so at this point the plan...
My parents' house (later my house), being built in 1952/53, was part of the post-war craze for colors that stood out, so even in the relatively boring suburbs east of Los Angeles the house was coated in Pepto Bismol Pink stucco with turquoise trim. :oops: The "master" bathroom had tile around...
Oh, I know the feeling. When I was in my early forties (age, that is) I found I needed my eyeglasses more frequently for distances (near-sighted) and reading (bifocals). Fifties was noticing that the hair on my head was getting thinner and thinner (good excuse to wear a hat or cap--keep my...
This one I thought was interesting. Clearly photo editing rather than makeup, and not a bad job, but the "artist" seems to have used more modern means to achieve the effect (i.e., modern computer software like Photoshop) on an older photograph.
The only thing I don't like about that jacket is that it isn't mine. :cool:
But seriously, I do like the way that jacket fits you, 'cause that's pretty much how I like mine to fit me--just enough room in the shoulders that I don't feel cramped, torso hanging just below the belt line, and...
