This is wrong on two or three levels, but even the average American wouldn't know why. Spelling aside, the United States of America does not have an official language for the simple reason that our Government has never chosen one. I've never found an exact reason for this, but I assume it's...

"Main Character Syndrome". I like that, and it seems appropriate based on some of the behaviors I've observed. Thank you!

I'm aware that a lot of people these days like to be "the center of attention" for whatever reason, and I'm convinced that's why they behave this way, but on those rare occasions when I receive a phone call anywhere but in my car (while it's parked) or at home, I refuse to answer it and will...

I have a few of Sterkowski's flat caps (i.e., "Ivy" and "Newsboy" caps), and I like them. The lighter weight "linen" cap I have is a bit too light for my tastes--it doesn't quite want to stay put when I wear it, and shifts position regularly--but the others are excellent value for the price. I...

My fiancee has one of those. We'll be out somewhere doing whatever, a question will come up, and suddenly she turns into Dick Tracy. Speaking into her wristwatch: "Siri, who starred in (insert movie name here) in 2003?" :rolleyes:

They don't? Mark Lenard as one of the first Romulans seen in Star Trek ("Balance of Terror", Season 1, Episode 14). He would later play Spock's father Sarek, but in this episode he played a Romulan Commander...with pointed ears.

Oh, absolutely. Legend has it that Mr. Keaton himself re-creased each and every hat he wore as a Pork Pie in his comedy shorts, loosely estimated to be thousands of hats throughout his career.

I can't speak for anyone else, obviously, but I could do with a bit of boredom. Post away! ;)

For me, I think my parents' influence played a large part in why I like things from the past more than most modern rubbish. Dad was born in 1913, Mom in 1915, so they lived through (and then some) what we like to refer to as The Golden Age and experienced it first-hand. As such, they had a...

I noticed one thing wrong with it almost immediately--it's two sizes too small for my head. ;)

They would probably consider it an abomination, a "scar" on an otherwise attractive and Iconic logo. It should be black for a proper "Croc Dundee" hat. ;)

Yeah, I clearly look nothing like Harrison Ford, so even an "Indy" fedora on my head just looks like a fedora. Besides, I learned early on that my head above the sweatband is too tall or misshapen and pushes out a Center Dent from the inside the moment I put the hat on, so a Teardrop/Diamond/C...

I'd have to agree that the "Careful Workshop" hat with it's larger crown suits you more, but I don't think the "AdVintage" hat looks bad at all, and if you had only posted that hat I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Nice choices!

I never really thought or cared about what would happen to my body after I die; scoop out the viable organs, give 'em to whoever needs them, and dump my dead carcass wherever you can. Whenever anyone asked, I'd always jokingly say, "Oh, that'll be someone else's problem," because I don't follow...

I saw The Stones here in Los Angeles during the "Steel Wheels" tour in 1989. My best friend for life called at the last moment and asked if I wanted to go. He said he had a free ticket if I wanted it, the only catch was that he needed someone he could trust to help him keep an eye on his...
