    How do you like your eggs?

    When I remember to, I'll scramble them hard, then add in some salmon and scramble them hard again. Add a little salt, and it's a delicious brunch. Or sometimes I scramble them day and then add a dollop of ketchup. I've given up trying to get them this way at breakfast food restaurants, where...

    belt buckle position and the keepers. Is this correct?

    I bought a fancy belt buckle because all my friends were doing it, the kind that where the leather slides behind it and there is a hook on the backside. All my friends wore the belt buckle off to one side, and I didn't know why. I was a military man myself, so this sort of thing seemed wrong to...

    Hair cuts

    I'm still trying to figure out this "having hair" thing, having gone with a No. 1 most of my life. My first trip for a haircut, to a general family stylist, may as well have never happened for all the woman listened to what I said I wanted. I decided I needed to find an old man in an actual...

    The Porch Life

    When I was looking for the house I currently live in there were a couple of "must have" features. I wanted to live in a house that had an alley access, and I wanted a garage to work on my bikes in. I also wanted a fully functional porch, and hard wood floors. I got all of those things, and the...

    On an impulse, I stopped at a consignment store not far from my neighborhood. I'm glad I did, because they had some interesting antique furniture and other strange things, and for not much money. I saw several things that I'd have loved to pick up, but at this time of the month I don't have much...

    Bow Ties

    Thanks! I'm looking out for a crimson and navy bowtie to represent my collegiate colors, now. I think that's a neat tradition. Thanks! And that's an interesting point. I think I'm attracted to the idea of the casual bow tie because it seems a bit eccentric; it lets people know that you're...

    Bow Ties

    After eye-balling some bow ties and considering it for a couple of months, yesterday I went ahead and picked one up. It's nothing exciting, a house brand bow tie from JC Penny, but it's a start. Still working on tying it correctly. I want to wear this one a bit to see if I like them, then...

    I'm not much into cars, but I do like scooters. I used to ride a vintage Vespa, but for various reasons I got rid of it. I went without a ride for about a year, then bought a new "vintage style" scooter, basically a Vespa clone, and have been very happy with it. My current ride, a 2009...

    Max's Display Case

    Cheers for the encouragement! Since I posted that I've been given the start of a decent set of china, purchased and learned how to tie a bow tie, and sworn off jeans. I'm also working on cleaning up a dresser that used to belong to my grandmother. It's part of a set that goes with my bed...

    Max's Display Case

    I'm new here, haven't offered much more than a bit of idle chatter in the Observation Bar, but I do have some things to show off/talk about. Recently I've received some neat things from my mother for my home, some furniture with a bit of history. To start off, this is a table that belonged to...

    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    I was thinking about this the other day. A friend of mine's brother's wife is extremely pregnant. In fact, if she didn't go into labor last Wednesday they're going to induce the pregnancy later on today. I was visiting their new apartment and I asked about the random lack of furniture. He's a...

    The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread

    When I was in junior high I needed to call my parents from the payphone in the cafeteria. I asked the school secretary to lend me a dime, which she did. I was a bit perplexed when I put the dime in and I still couldn't make the call. This was in 1987 or so. I had never used a payphone before...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    This seems to be the place, so I'll do the seemly thing and introduce myself. First post and all that. My name is Max, pleased to meet you. I ended up here because I was trying to figure out if it's acceptable to wear pinstripe jackets with solid pants, then I came back trying to learn the...
