    Where do you hang your hat?

    My rule is that I'll take it off in private space--a person's home, an elevator, at a restaurant dinner table. I'll usually leave it on in public space or where there isn't anyplace to put it. In Arizona it's common *not* to remove your hat at the table, having more to do with cowboy hats than...

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    Yep. It doesn't even matter if the hat's a Panama. I get it all the time. Once though, after telling a coworker that it wasn't nearly as clever and original as he thought, he started calling me Ray Chandler. Which I think I'm okay with. ...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last movie I watched was Pump Up The Volume -- a terrible movie for hats and anyone with a minimal understanding of radio and the FCC, and yet ...

    Best "hat movie" ever?

    Apart from The Fedora Lounge II: Revenge of the Snap Brim Borsalino, I would offer Le Samourai and, well, Johnnie Depp looks great in a bowler: Dead Man. I would also submit Kurosawa's Kagemusha as the best hat movie ever, but in a different forum. *grin*

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    It would seem appropriate, considering the date, to smoke a 13th Floor today.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I will be looking forward to one of my dailies, either the Casa Magna Colorado or the Cusano 59. I need to stay away from this thread because it makes me want to skip work early.

    Zootshooting

    I would love to participate in this. Also I would have an excuse to get that .38 Super I've been after. There doesn't appear to be an Arizona chapter. Hmm....

    Here's a nice Akubra out for a jaunt in the desert.

    Who Does Without TV?

    I've never had cable, and don't feel a great loss in my life for the lack of it. I haven't connected the antenna to my television in years--again, no great loss. If I want to watch something I've a DVD player (and can skip the nagging advertisements).

    Where did your user name come from??

    You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Hey, that must be where Infocom got the name; the guttersnipe also shows up in Beyond Zork.

    apollo moonwalk

    Personally, working in the industry myself and having encountered enough of these people, I no longer find it all that funny. Would you believe that there are people out there who believe that the Apollo 1 fire was a human sacrificial offering to the Egyptian gods? I'll say this in defense...

    What Are You Reading

    I'm trying to work my way through Gödel, Escher, Bach but, being something of an aficionado of the German Existentialists I'm having some trouble buying it. I'm not enough in yet to tell for sure though.

    Does anyone use a name that's not their own?

    Why of course; my last name also belongs to my father. I think he stole from his father too. I come from a long line of name-thieves. ;) I was referred to as Most Holy in high school, due to a purported resemblance to the Cerebus character. I like to think it had more to do with how the...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    mmm... Squadron Leader pipe tobacco.

    The Classical Music Thread

    Yes! That's phenomenal. There's probably a certain repertoire we can mostly take for granted--Karajan / BPH thundering through Mozart, Van Cliburn's Rachy Piano Concerto, etc; I'd add to that William Byrd's masses, particularly the Catholic 4- and 5-voice (profound even to a crotchety old...

    That one thing that you need to feel like yourself

    Oh yeah, need the coffee. Moreso having quit smoking years and years ago. I think the one thing I'd need would have to be ... boots. Nothing ostentatious, just simple working or combat boots. My erm, wardrobe, insofar as it is one, has changed over the years but that has been a constant.

    Save the Chap!

    Hunh, I've never heard of the Chap; but I'm not so much into vintage as I am an aficionado of hats. No matter, I've made a small donation too. Hope it helps.

    Who should sing the theme for the next Bond?

    That's weird. I thought the same thing when I saw the title of the thread. Maybe a petition drive suggests itself?

    Where did your user name come from??

    Mine is an ancient invocation to the gods of the inner celestial temple to look favorably upon the domestic endeavors of those who would be traveling if they could, but are prevented from doing so for reasons relating to astronomical photography in the visible light band. Either that, or it's...

    do you like eating PORK & BEANS from the can?

    My word, a can of this has been following me around for many, many years. In the Boy Scouts as a kid we did a lot of camping, see, and Pork 'n Beans was the fallback meal. It was sort of a joke that if we didn't get a fire going or whatnot we'd be eating Pork 'n Beans. My sister likes to remind...
