You Know you have been on Fedora Lounge too long when:

[Cobden]

- Detachable collars seem a practical aid to laundering, and not a cunning method of suicide by jugulating yourself
- You actually WANT handkerchief's for Christmas
- You loathe teabags and go hunting for loose leaf
- You refer to countries and cities by long gone names (Siam, Formosa, Salisbury)
- You think that having a symbol for 1/2 and 1/4 on your typewriter makes vastly more sense then ~, > or }
- You have an umbrella, but never use it in the rain for fear of messing up the perfect furling (and if it does rain, use the umbrella to hail a taxi)
- You remember to put the apostrophe in front of 'bus

Dumpsters become like a box of chocolates---you never know what you are going to find.

Hi. My name is Story and I'm a Dumpster Diver....

• You get annoyed if there isn't a person on the other end of the phone call
• You have a computer for work and Fedora Lounge
• When you plan a trip to the city, you first find the hatters and then the sites of interest
• Tipping is mandatory

 

[Lauren]

Ooh- to add onto that-

You plan vacations based on where good flea markets are.

(not that I've done that or anything )

 

[MK]

.

Before even having morning coffee, you've made yourself run late catching up on what friends you've never seen are doing in California, New York, London and Tokyo, but haven't said good morning to the guy next door in eight months...

Isn't that the truth!

 

[Mycroft]

• When you hear "it's Miller Time" you turn on the record player
• You always dress better then where you have to go
• Sometimes you dream in Black and White
• When you lost your dog, you looked for Sam Spade in the phone book
• Chain Stores Stink!

[huh] Who Me?

 

[Mycroft]

• You recycle metal not for the enviroment, but the war effort
• The Smell of Moth Balls is better than Frebrez
• Other than you, Senior Citizens are the best dressers in town \
• When you were captured by the enemy you gave them your name, rank, and hat size
• You have more fedoras and leather jackets then Lucasfilm
• You got annoyed when they stopped selling Black and White TVs
• You long for the time when Cracker Jacks and Cerals had good prizes

It really begins to annoy you that your computer is so modern-looking. Would it kill them to build one in a nice wooden deco-influenced cabinet?

Ever seen the film 'The Final Cut'? THey have wool pannled CPUs in that and they are lovely.

Actually, they weren't Apple. They were standard PC with wooden screens, keyboard and CPU in mahogany & oak, and they were VERY expensive. I remember seeing them a few times on LA Law and similar.

The first Apple I prototype that Wozniak built had a wooden case. There are some online vendors that sell wooden PC cabinets that would probably come up with a google search. Actually it would probably not be hard to build such a thing if you can put a box together. Or you could do what I always think about doing, buy a Mac Mini and put it in an big old radio

EDIT: Oh, I thought of one last night: when you fall over a crack in the sidewalk, you instinctively grab your hat instead of trying to break your fall, and you are more worried about ripping your vintage FF stockings than smashing your knee
