    Time Traveler spotted at the 1928 Chaplin film "The Circus"

    Okay people, calm down. Last night I managed to get scheduled for use of the Quantum-Temporal Displacement Device (QTDD) over at early 21c Baltimore, and took a hop down to 1928 Hollywood. I asked the woman what she thought she was doing? Didn't she know that Pers-Comps were achronal for 20c...

    What do you use to shave?

    I occasionally use a straight razor - usually a Dovo Bismarck. (More often, I shave with a 50 year old Gillette Fat Boy adjustable safety razor.) As for the incredible danger of shaving with a straight razor without extensive training and preparation, along with having to possess the...

    "Don't handle a hat by its crown" vs. tipping a hat

    This entire matter of listing the hat, removing the hat, etc., is really covered perfectly well in my 1937 edition of Emily Post's "Etiquette." I assume we all own this monumental work. Anyway, the rule-of-thumb seems to be that the hat is lifted slightly - not removed. It's lifted by the...
