    What did families of the fourties have on their walls?

    Not sure about typical I imagine there would have been as much variation in the 40s as there is today. Both sets of my grandparents decorated the walls of their homes in the 40s, paternal set in the early 40s, maternal set in the late 40s. The Catholic side of the family had The Last...

    1930's 'The Lone Ranger' Remake

    Clayton Moore story I should have asked my wife. She was with me when I heard that story, and it was not at Dragon Con. It came from the actor/DJ Jay Thomas, and she believes it was at a fund raiser or benefit here in NOLA that we heard the story. She also added a few things about why I didn't...

    1930's 'The Lone Ranger' Remake

    Clayton Moore story This is a little long. A few years back, I attended a presentation (I think at Dragon Con), and the guy giving the lecture had been a DJ when he was a young man. He did the typical local radio promotions, including live broadcasts from car dealerships. At one of those...

    The Price of Thrift

    Selling on ebay I saw a news report recently about Goodwill and the Salvation Army setting up shop on ebay. They have a staff theat sorts through donations looking for vintage items and/or designer labels to sell on the bay. I imagine this could have an impact on what is available in the shops.

    Spring Forward!

    I hope this isn't too political I read over at yahoo news that it has been determined that daylight savings time wastes more electricity than it saves. Which runs counter to the reasons that Congress (the opposite of progress) claims for creating the policy. http://tech.yahoo.com/blog/null/83073

    How to *gracefully* GET RID OF THE (man's...not female! :D) BEARD!

    Shaved for my girlfriend (now wife) During our first year of dating my wife told me on a number of occasions she dated me in spite of my Van Dyke, not because of it. She also put in requests to see me without my "mask". So, one night, I shaved it off, and walked into our bedroom. She screamed...

    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    Purple Heart Finally!

    If they are out of stock of Purple Hearts, does that mean no one gets wounded anymore? :p Not a political post, just a little joke at the expense of whomever wrote that letter.

    Bond "anachronistic"?

    Bourne was written strictly as an assassin. Bond was written with a license to kill, but that was part of a larger, traditional spy role of gathering information. Additionally, the Bourne stories are those of a man looking for redemption, at the end of the 3rd movie you find out that the man who...

    The Married and Hideously Ugly Room

    There has been admiration for your chair, and it is a nice chair, but I really like your jacket. I don't suppose it is actually a suit? I have seen one or two similar suits, but they are few and far between.

    The Married and Hideously Ugly Room

    Translated from the Lulu-ese I believe luvthatlulu is married/affianced/dating/stalking the aforementioned Mrs. Lulu. Mrs. Lulu cannot be a member of the Lounge because she does not have an acceptable email address with which to register. I am familiar with this problem, as I had to get a...

    Care to join my no eating after 7 p.m. (EDIT) or 3 hours before bed thread?

    After Katrina Just about two years ago, Hurricane Katrina came through and wiped out the bridge I use to get to work every morning. For about 5 months after the storm, my two hour round trip to and from work turned into something more like 4 to 6 hours. Yeah, really, there is a point to this...
