What, did the Nuart go out of business?

Someone in the Crusades said it--and I can't remember if it was a Crusader or a Saracen: "God save us from true believers."

Maybe it's because then they'd have to explain how their 501's are made overseas, after they spent so many years telling us about how "authentic" and American-made they were. I personally buy Wranglers when I need jeans these days...

You forgot about the long loaf of bread under the arm.

I ain't afraid a no homos neither! (I can run faster than them.)* *I never use smilies. Whether it's funny or not is kind of up to you.

Some of "old Hollywood" may or may not have surpassed "today's Hollywood" in moral rectitude or "breeding" or "class" or whatever you care to call it, but what "old Hollywood" had that "today's Hollywood" doesn't have is powerful studio public relations departments who own their stars' images...

Well, actually, Crowe physically fits Hammett's description of Spade better than Bogart. Bogart did not look "rather pleasantly like a blond Satan." Also, Bogart looked a lot skinnier than the Spade in the book. Personally, I think Crowe could do a bang-up job of playing Sam Spade. (I...

To me, smoking in the passenger compartment isn't the issue. They now ban lighters even in checked luggage. What's the point of that? Who is the asinine twerp that decided that? If planes crashed because there were cigarette lighters in them, you wouldn't be able to get to the local market...

Look at the expression on the model wearing that stuff's face; he seems to be thinking, "Their check better clear!" Also, they misnamed their site. They included the word "style." That's not style, it's fashion. Fashion goes out of style. Style never does.

Pretty far off-topic, but... Hey, MK. It's the Marine raincoat I usually keep in my truck for the afternoon thundershowers we get around here in the summer. The hat is Lee Keppler's Maltese Falcon hat. You can't quite see it in the avatar, but it was raining the night the photo was taken...

I find myself lining up with BellyTank and Lauren here. Grafitti can be "art." So is this stuff of Banksy's. I won't go so far as to describe either of these examples as "good art," though... I think the "is it Art?" question is often a difficult one to answer. It's sort of like the...

So...Where were those pictures taken? Kind of looks like Arizona...

I drive a Chevy truck. There's enough room in it for me to wear a fedora without it brushing on anything. I only wear it when it's cold and/or rainy, though. When riding a motorcycle, I ALWAYS wear a lid--a skid lid (helmet).

His wallet? (Because he's a biker?) My grandfather (who was a biker) used to have a chain from a belt loop to his keys in his front pocket.

Welcome to bureaucracy...
