    The Return of the Man's Man

    Obligatory cross-board rant: real men carry .45's! For the record, I too think that the current trend toward wimpiness--in both sexes--is a terrible thing. I know people who have broken down crying at a flat tire, or have needed help to go to the doctor. Society in general, without regard...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    I've actually been disappointed at the lack of discussion of current affairs amongst my classmates. Maybe I'm unique in wanting to talk shop after the homework is done, but I generally have to annoy my professors after class if I want to scratch that particular itch--my fellow students just...

    Well, today was my first oral argument. Motion to suppress for failure to give a Miranda warning, and I've never been fond of public speaking--I prefer writing, where I have the chance to review and polish before submitting. The verdict? ...you can call me Captain Awesome, but only until...

    A-2 and CCW - is it possible?

    To Answer the Original Question... I carry a full-size, all-steel 1911 pattern (Dan Wesson, in my case) as a matter of routine. The key is in selecting a good holster. 1911 Man has already suggested Galco; I'd like to add Milt Sparks to the list; the Versa Max 2 is very well-regarded, and I...

    I'll make it out in four years, but the grey hairs I have now (at twenty-nine!) will be heavily reinforced by that time. For the record, Torts is one semester, but four hours (typical is three, or occasionally two if a two-semester course). Property is also four hours this semester, but...

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    It's all in how you carry yourself. Look nervous and you'll look out-of-place. Strut around with confidence like you own the place and you will.

    Actually, Carlill is a staple over here as well--in fact, not only did we cover it in Contracts I, we actually discussed it in my Business Law class in my undergrad. I'm in Property this semester, and so far, probably half of the material has either been from English law or cited to it, and we...

    I'll have to dig up my pictures of the hat, but as to school, first semester is Contracts I, Torts, and Legal Research and Writing I. The school is Oklahoma City University.

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    Having survived my first semester of law school (seven* more to go!), I hereby tender my application for Associate Member status. My grades keep me in good standing at school, and my Art Fawcett custom should secure my standing here. What say ye? * Yes, seven. Part-time, at night.

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Laphroaig Cask Strength, enjoyed under a tree, in a snowstorm, with a splash of mountain creek water. Man, that was a helluva trip.

    Where's the globe trotting hat now?

    I replied to your PM on 18 Jan. Did you receive my PM?

    Where's the globe trotting hat now?

    Has anybody seen the hat? I sent my address a month or two ago, but never heard anything back.

    Where's the globe trotting hat now?

    Flyboy is still around. If I haven't missed my chance, I'd still like to be on the list.

    Start 'em Young

    He's only fourteen months old--he absolutely swims in that hat. Fits me fine, though. :D

    Start 'em Young

    Here's lookin' at you, kid. (Larger at http://www.barefootclown.net/gallery/d/334-1/lookin+at+You.png) Hat is a Stetson Sovereign, Mode Edge that I wear most days. I scored it on eBay a few years ago for about forty bucks. I don't have a date on it, but there are a couple pieces of paper...

    Where's the globe trotting hat now?

    Just added myself to the map, if it's not too late. Please PM for my address (I'd rather not post it publicly).

    Trenchcoats, still a faux-pas for teens?

    I have a (generously) double-breasted brown leather trenchcoat that I have been wearing since High School, including during the time of Columbine and other shootings. Our school did institute a policy of "no trenchcoats," which I proceeded to ignore (as I did with a lot of other rules...

    Dating Stratoliner

    Am I going crazy, or did Stetson make Stratoliners with wider bands as well? I've seen a couple of wide-band Stetsons with the DC-3 pin, and I thought they were referred to as Stratoliners, but the only thing I can find anymore is the narrow-band version? It's driving me nuts--I saw a cream-...

    Where's the globe trotting hat now?

    I'm still interested in helping move it around. I'm in Norman, OK now, but I'll travel for my chance at it.

    Do you guys REALLY use naptha?

    Naptha can also be bought at most groceries. Head for the smoking section and pick up a can of Zippo fuel; that's naptha.
