    Manners & Etiquette

    A common error, right up there with then/than and apostrophe abuse.

    Did you perhaps mean to say "boor"? ;)

    Silver Anniversay of Reaganomics

    Not arguments; no interpretations of cause or blame, just observations. I rarely discuss politics, I was just relating what I see around me. Whatever is being done by whoever is doing it, it ain't working very well.

    Silver Anniversay of Reaganomics

    Looking at the statistics published by various agencies is all well and good, but I like to do what I call "The Real Life Test." I'm looking around the streets in my city and those I visit, and I'm not seeing much prosperity for the average person. • I am seeing more and more small...

    Manners & Etiquette

    Please forgive my posting the whole thing rather than linking—things have a tendency to move or disappear over time. From Emily Post: Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home - 1922 Chapter IV. Salutations of Courtesy WHEN A GENTLEMAN TAKES OFF HIS HAT A...

    Manners & Etiquette

    Giving ladies and elders my seat on the bus, followed closely by holding doors, taking my hat off when a lady enters the elevator and—sometimes, when occasion suggests—lifting my hat to ladies.

    Do your best/worst!

    I wouldn't let it bother you, always remember: no matter how hot she is, somebody somewhere is tired of putting up with her crap. < -- joke

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    "Made of pen and ink, she can win you with a wink..." I have the complete Betty Boop collection. I also love all the Warner Bros. cartoons: Bugs, Road Runner, Loony Toons, Merrie Melodies... true classics that can't be beat. I think The Animaniacs were the first thing to come along in years...

    PDA - Where is the line?

    On the one hand, I find overly-zealous spit-swapping to be somewhat crass and uncouth—I also remember being severely reprimanded for making out in the back row at church when I was 16. On the other hand, I'm also wondering how I might react if someone asked me if I would mind dressing down a...

    How do you take your coffee?

    I live in Seattle, so I'm spoiled. We have a number of nice neighborhood roasterias around. I like a rich, nutty, medium roast, either drip or french press when I have the time. Half & half or cream, not milk. No sugar. Of course, I always have a double-tall-whole-milk latte when I get...

    Do your best/worst!

    Best: Me and the missus out shopping, stopped by a woman who was dressed to the nines and oozed style: "My, don't you two look wonderful! *sigh* People just don't dress anymore, do they?" Worst: "Damn, dude! That shirt is ug-LEE!"

    Panamas

    Today's was just a Nat Cicco double corona second. Good for chomping on while whacking blackberry bushes and wielding the hedge trimmer. I have CAO MX2s, Cohiba habanos, Ghurkas, Hoyo de Montereys and a variety of Thompson specials in the humidor.

    Panamas

    This hat had apparently been sitting on the bottom shelf at the shop since the 70's.

    Dealing with rude people

    Good for her! It's a pity slapping has gone out of fashion. More men would be motivated to be gentlemen.

    Swing Band Leader: Raymond Scott

    My love of Raymond Scott began about 7 years ago when I went in search of the source of the "cartoon automation music" that is invariably used to show wacky machines doing repetitive assembly tasks. You all know the one. It's called Powerhouse. I found that he not only wrote that, but also...

    Dealing with rude people

    Cell phones! They're wonderful and amazing, but people who use them rudely drive me up a wall. On the bus, people chatter away loudly—louder than they would in a normal conversation, because they think if they raise their voice they'll be able to hear the other person better—and talk...

    Panamas

    Dames in guy hats are hot. I just got my first Panamas today at Byrnie Utz, in Seattle. Pictures tomorrow when I go out cigardening.

    Pull out the Tuxedos

    Same here. A man never looks sharper than in a well-fit tuxedo. I can't imagine a garment that could possibly surpass it. As a side note: women look pretty darn snazzy in them too.

    Poll - How old...?

    No, but that ADA ramp at the curb has got to go: My place, built in 1908 (ignore the reptile):
