    Thrift store find, "Valentino"?

    It is indeed my cup of joe, I'm totally into black hats. Thanks guys. Though, no one here, with this vast hat knowledge base, knows about the hat maker Valentino?

    Thrift store find, "Valentino"?

    I was digging around the local thriftstore the other day and found a really nice hat, just my size and everything, by a maker I did not know of, nor have been able to find any information about since. With a slight reshaping of the brim and restitching of the ribbon (so it doesn't deform at the...

    61 stars removed from Walk of Fame

    All dastardly deeds aside, it would be pretty awesome to own a star that's been on the walk of fame. If they ever do retire them they should auction them off, I bet they'd gather a pretty penny. Come to think of it, wouldn't they have to replace those stars at some point anyway? Normal wear and...

    Out of the Humidor: The sad demise of pipe smoking

    Trust me, you don't want to know. Cigarette tobacco is like poison in a stick. Pipe tobacco is by far better, but not without its addatives either. Cigar tobacco may or may not contain such addatives, it depends entirely on the source. However elements such as pesticides for instance are pretty...

    Do you believe in little green men?

    That's just the thing though, if we're going to argue faith versus science on the topic if extraterrestrials exist or not we might as well stop now, go outside and bang our heads against the nearest brick wall because that would be just as productive. Faith, and especially religious faith, is...

    Do you believe in little green men?

    ...and I say that's hogwash. However, in any way one tries to argue against that is largely met with the same arguments repeated again, and that's somewhat annoying since there is no way to proove that someone is spiritual or not, and it's definitely harder to proove that one isn't. I look at...

    what to do with my cell phone

    Sure it makes sense to have a vintage receiver without a base, but it does require some hacking and modding. This is just a concept, but at least it's self explanatory: <img src="http://www.mousevomit.com/blog/art/images/20070721122902_20060509cellphone.jpg">

    Could you survive?

    Could I make a living? Of course, and I think anyone with the mind of a 21st century person could make a very good living in 1937. I would easily become an inventor and invent things that hadn't yet been invented but would be before 2007, and I could care less about the historical...

    Share your own art here :)

    I'll just link my site without dropping in images, since a) the majority isn't traditional mediums and b) not vintage in subject, but by all means check it out anyway. http://www.mousevomit.com I too though do not have any kind of formal training though I am fairly adept in wood- and...

    Do you believe in little green men?

    Little green men? No. Extraterrestrial life? Definitely, I think it would be thoughtless not to. Intelligent extraterrestrial life? For sure, the possibilities for this occuring are far too many for there not to be. Intelligent extraterrestrial life that has visited earth in some manner...

    Out of the Humidor: The sad demise of pipe smoking

    Heck, I'm a recreational pipe smoker and I can't remember ever seeing anyone from my age group (mid twenties) with a pipe (pot smokers aside). Heck, I can't remember seeing anyone under the age of 50 smoking with a pipe. Though, a lot of all this may have to do with smoking bans being introduced...

    Life without moderators

    Excuse me? I'm pissing on people? I've taken (at least I think I've taken) quite some care in trying not to point any fingers to anyone, but rather speak of the forum in general. I also pointed out how the moderators do deserve praise, yet I'm still pissing on people? I've seen exactly what I...

    Life without moderators

    I don't believe that anyone wishes to devalue the work that the moderators do, whatever praise they deserve they should have. That doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong about discussing the pros and cons with how things are being done though. One doesn't taint the other, and no...

    Pet Peeve

    I work as a "telephone communicator" (don't know the proper term in english) and I could tell you some fun stories around that, but I think I'll leave you with your imagination. Though, it amazes me how people can say that they have time to talk even though they're obviously sitting on the...

    Life without moderators

    I can somewhat understand that, not that I agree with it but I can understand the justification. Personally I don't think that discussing homosexuality for instance (of which threads have been closed in the past) is anything which could be considered PG-13 or NC-17. True, but then it's not the...

    Life without moderators

    I don't entirely agree that a forum's tone is set by how it's moderated though. I moderate another forum and over the three years in operation we've banned less than half a dozen people, most of the work is to remove double posts, move posts and edit messages with broken code (i.e. more to do...

    Anatomy of a hat?

    What is the purpose of the plastic that some hats have in the top section of the lining then? I can understand that it's some protection for the hat itself from sweat in case your head touches the top of the hat, but is there any other reason for having it there?

    Achieving that vintage look, via PhotoShop

    Haha, the bottom right picture in gallery 1 is hilarious, the lighting couldn't become more inconsistent :P

    baconator

    He ate McDs 3 times a day and he ONLY ate McDs, I think that's an important thing to mention as well. Not to mention that he was obligated to supersize it at any time they asked. I don't think it takes a nutritional dietist to figure out what would happen. Though, if Morgan had chosen to eat...

    Smoking in England banned from July 1st...

    Smoking has been banned here in Sweden in bars and restaurants too for a while now. What I don't get though is that the ban also is active for cigar clubs, so if those guys want to have a cigar testing, perhaps with a good brandy and relaxing piano tunes they can't. You can drink and listen to...
