Silver Anniversay of Reaganomics
Not arguments; no interpretations of cause or blame, just observations. I rarely discuss politics, I was just relating what I see around me. Whatever is being done by whoever is doing it, it ain't working very well.- Hiram

Silver Anniversay of Reaganomics
Looking at the statistics published by various agencies is all well and good, but I like to do what I call "The Real Life Test." I'm looking around the streets in my city and those I visit, and I'm not seeing much prosperity for the average person. • I am seeing more and more small...- Hiram

Manners & Etiquette
Please forgive my posting the whole thing rather than linking—things have a tendency to move or disappear over time. From Emily Post: Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home - 1922 Chapter IV. Salutations of Courtesy WHEN A GENTLEMAN TAKES OFF HIS HAT A...- Hiram

Manners & Etiquette
Giving ladies and elders my seat on the bus, followed closely by holding doors, taking my hat off when a lady enters the elevator and—sometimes, when occasion suggests—lifting my hat to ladies.- Hiram

Do your best/worst!
I wouldn't let it bother you, always remember: no matter how hot she is, somebody somewhere is tired of putting up with her crap. < -- joke- Hiram

Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid
"Made of pen and ink, she can win you with a wink..." I have the complete Betty Boop collection. I also love all the Warner Bros. cartoons: Bugs, Road Runner, Loony Toons, Merrie Melodies... true classics that can't be beat. I think The Animaniacs were the first thing to come along in years...- Hiram

PDA - Where is the line?
On the one hand, I find overly-zealous spit-swapping to be somewhat crass and uncouth—I also remember being severely reprimanded for making out in the back row at church when I was 16. On the other hand, I'm also wondering how I might react if someone asked me if I would mind dressing down a...- Hiram

How do you take your coffee?
I live in Seattle, so I'm spoiled. We have a number of nice neighborhood roasterias around. I like a rich, nutty, medium roast, either drip or french press when I have the time. Half & half or cream, not milk. No sugar. Of course, I always have a double-tall-whole-milk latte when I get...- Hiram

Do your best/worst!
Best: Me and the missus out shopping, stopped by a woman who was dressed to the nines and oozed style: "My, don't you two look wonderful! *sigh* People just don't dress anymore, do they?" Worst: "Damn, dude! That shirt is ug-LEE!"- Hiram

Good for her! It's a pity slapping has gone out of fashion. More men would be motivated to be gentlemen.- Hiram

Swing Band Leader: Raymond Scott
My love of Raymond Scott began about 7 years ago when I went in search of the source of the "cartoon automation music" that is invariably used to show wacky machines doing repetitive assembly tasks. You all know the one. It's called Powerhouse. I found that he not only wrote that, but also...- Hiram

Dealing with rude people
Cell phones! They're wonderful and amazing, but people who use them rudely drive me up a wall. On the bus, people chatter away loudly—louder than they would in a normal conversation, because they think if they raise their voice they'll be able to hear the other person better—and talk...- Hiram

Pull out the Tuxedos
Same here. A man never looks sharper than in a well-fit tuxedo. I can't imagine a garment that could possibly surpass it. As a side note: women look pretty darn snazzy in them too. -
