    Youtube gold

    I've found several great old complete films available on Youtube. I'm probably the last person on the planet to find out youtube has them. I just finished watching one of my all-time favorite films, "Detective Story" with Kirk Douglas in the lead. I saw it in the theater when it came out back in...

    is the hat too small?

    Then of course there's always that question; "Does it make my butt look too big?" In other words, wear the hat, don't let the hat wear you !! Frank lamb Just my opinion, I could be wrong

    met an old guy that claimed to be a WWII 8th Air Force veteran?

    I've run into people like that, and one sure way to find out if they're legit is to ask questions about where they served; like, what unit, what type of aircraft they either worked on or flew; ie, what kind of engines did they have, Pratt and Whitney, or ?. Also, get them to tell you about the...

    World's longest radio serial ??

    I just picked up some more old radio programs on mp3/cd from the Radio Lady, and among my selection was one called: "Passage of the Tangmar." It was listed as having 52 episodes on this single c d, so I assumed there were 52, half-hour separate episodes; not so! The "episode" is 52 12minute...

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    Being 5'7", it's a 50-50 shot a woman will be taller than I am, but then, it seems to work out OK. I mean, if it didn't pose a problem for Mickey Rooney who am I to care. In other words, it's jake with me. Frankie L.

    Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

    Walking and chewing gum is very challenging! I know I'm going to be embarrassed when I learn what I'm doing wrong, but here goes...... Why can't I stay logged in ? In the old setup, when I'd enter the FL site I was always logged in because when I initially logged in I checked the "Remember Me"...

    Favorite scary Radio Show

    Most of you have already mentioned a number of my favorite "Scary" radio programs, but in the event someone out there in Loungeland hasn't heard of my favorite source for old radio shows, allow me to suggest you give the following a shot. MP-3 copies of darned near any show of any genre that...

    Very Very Short Stories

    Shoot for the moon The door was unlocked,and I pushed it open, slowly, hoping to put off as long as I could from seeing what I hoped wasn't there. no dice; she was there alright, just like Marty said she'd be; or at least her body was. God only know where her mind was. She lay sprawled on a...

    Thin Ribbon shots from movies

    "Some Came Running" I don't have a picture of it to post, but does anyone remember the hat Dean Martin's character, "Bama" wore in that flick. I'm almost positive it was a thin-ribbon "Open Road."(?) Frankie L.

    Don't bother covering when sneezing

    As I sat at home this rainy afternoon writing Christmas cards ( fewer and fewer each year, eh? ) I caught an early dose of the 12-25 virus; aka, Christmas Spirit. Some years it doesn't appear until just a few days before Christmas, but this year it hit me right in the middle of addressing a card...

    Good Evening Los Angeles, this is.........

    For those of us who live in and/or near Los Angeles, there's a station on AM that plays one-hour of old radio programs each weekday night from 9:00-10:00. The station is powerful enough to reach pretty far out. It's 1260 AM During the rest of the day and on the weekends they play mostly...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Meanwhile, back on Howland Island....... Just saw "Amelia", which came out in theaters Friday. I've long been interested in Amelia Earhart and have followed many of the books/articles/movies made about her life and disappearance in 1937. One reason is I was born just a few days after she and...

    Cover me, I'm goin' in!!

    Well I've finally worked up the nerve to ask for advice from the forum on where to learn to dance to some of the music we all like to hear. I don't aim to knock Fred Astair off of his perch or anything like that, just some sort of semi-coordinated kind of attempt on the dance floor that people...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Up jumped a surprise Saw "District 9" last friday. I shy away from films like this as they usually depend on the gimmicky, mechanical, and special effects to put the picture over. However, this film concentrated a great deal on the protagonist's feelings as he changed throughout the film...

    My Vintage Radio Collection

    Gotta Go. Jack Benny's on the radio Here's 1937 Zenith which is very close to one that I used to listen to Jack Benny and all those great radio shows on during the war. The irony of it is, where I live the local station plays old radio show every Sunday evening and sometimes I hear the same...
