    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    We'll never know. I'm actually right-handed. And white. I'm a graduate student doing research on internet groups. Of the fifty I've been monitoring for the past six months, this one is the worst. Only one person was genuinely nice to Veronica T.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    You are having trouble. You just do not realize it because you are a northpaw and do not understand the problem because of your prejudices. I am not saying that to be a wiseguy or to be mean or to catch you out. Most right-handed people say the same thing. Until they have a left-handed...

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    So sorry. That is an error in grammar. I should have deleted the "especially". I love bagpipe music. Otherwise I wouldn't have joined a pipes and drums corps. The same corps which marches in my village's Fourth Of July parade. What if things hadn't worked in Spewgie's and my favors? FUN FACT...

    What musical instrument do you play..?

    Piano and Fender P bass. At the age of thirteen, my friend Spewgie and I joined the pipes and drums corps and were issued old bagpipes until we could afford to get our kilts and pipes of our own. And faithfully every day after school we would practice in my backyard. The bagpipes are the...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    There was a mounted circus band in my city's annual circus parade (which is now extinct). 1897 Ringling Bros. Circus: Somewhere I saw an American Civil War reenactment mounted brass band that played authentic GAR instruments. The bells of the horns faced to the rear instead of the front as...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I heard back from one of two of my old history professors and the woman who is responsible for fabrics and costumes at Old World Wisconsin. Neither of them knew what a livery band is or if there is a connection to livery band and livery lace. There are two kinds of small letter "b" in the book...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Circus parades. I miss the annual recreation of a circus parade with all the animals and antique wagons from the circus museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. People would come from all over the world. The parade was discontinued several years ago. Confession: I was asked to dress as a harem girl...

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    Yes. I have flown in vintage aircraft. I live near the busiest airport in the world. Oshkosh, Wisconsin. There are Boeing B17 Flying Fortress, 1929 Ford Tri-Motor, Bell 47 helicopter, etc. If you are fortunate to see the North American Aviation P-51, purchase the fly—it—yourself option which...

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    Considering prejudice towards Roman Catholics, this is very surprising to me. When the bells rang Angelus at noon, we stopped our playground jump rope during recess to pray.

    Ben Sansum, The man who lives in 1946

    Nice catch! Curious that if she is the モダンガール / modan gaaru (modern girl) which is the Japanese term for flapper, she wears the kappogi in the kitchen instead of an apron.

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Attaboy, Luther! Only the best American film ever. While searching for the Bon Ami quote, I found some Henry Darger-type made a video of his 「The Ghost And Mr Chicken」diorama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXgZF3t0x5o Spooky.

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    In concert at the village festival. They sound much more better when not recorded on a cell 'phone. The sounds in the background are cicada insects and a diesel locomotive idling. So sorry, I could not find 「Jackson Park 6-5000」. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWsW1Vm4vk
