    Talks of "Christine" remake

    Honestly, I had never noticed the book either - I got that one from a website. ...It probably would have gone right in without touching the sides. The Fury used in that scene had a rubber front-end.

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    Interesting tidbit - I'd never noticed before. If you check out the scene where Christine T-bones Repperton's Camaro in the gas station, you'll notice that there's no engine in the Camaro (stunt shell-car). Also, the book Dennis pulls from the shelf in the school library scene is a copy of...

    Talks of "Christine" remake

    "Christine" (both the novel and, as cheesy as it was, the movie) was one of my favorites when I was in high school. It looks like King is posing with a '57 in this photo, which appeared on the back cover of the novel...

    What are you wearing today??

    I'm away from the Lounge for a bit and look at what I've missed. Excellent work everyone - you all look very sharp!

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    Nah, I didn't take it personally, I just hate repeating things that aren't true.

    The Closet Door is Open - Lavender Ladies & Gents of the Golden Age of Hollywood

    He definitely was a womanizer, no doubt about that. The funny thing is, I checked at least five different (and fairly reputable) sources before posting to make sure it wasn't a bogus fact. There are quite a number of bios of the man floating around that promote his alleged bisexuality to...

    Mother-in-Law's Scathing E-mail Goes Viral

    It's seems that Freddie's in the worst position of all - stuck between choosing the girl or his family. This isn't going to end well for him either way.

    Medical Practicioners of Old

    Are you sincerely trying to discredit these modern medical marvels? Tsk. But anyway, looking back: Mercury Poisoning. Back in '98, a couple of teens found a 40lb. vat of mercury in an abandoned factory...and promptly shared their findings with everyone they could. One kid had the...

    Medical Practicioners of Old

    The tales of misdiagnoses/malpractice always worry me the most. It's unfortunate that a doctor's degree isn't a guarantee of excellence and competency. Fortunately for me, the worst I've experienced was two nurses squabbling high-school style over a failed finger-stick procedure (I was about 12).

    I got few immunization shots earlier today, and as I currently sit here with the dull sensation that I've been slugged in both arms, thought about "the way it used to be" (especially in regards to needles). Does anyone have any golden-era medical stories (doctors/nurses/weird remedies) to share?

    How to Paint Your Car (1922)

    Safety? In NYC, there are quite a few notices about "painting a handgun to look like a toy" and vice-versa. They'll give you time for that.

    Military Fakes- sometimes you just have to share the joke...

    Every crowd has a number of "those guys". I'm glad you were able to embellish on the phenomenon better than I was - you too, V.C. I'm fairly certain I had first read about this some time ago in a book written about the 101st. While I'm familiar with Mauldin's work, I haven't had the privilege...
