I couldn't put my finger on the worst I've ever had, but if I had to guess it would be some I got at a reenactment one time. I'd driven to Cedar Creek, a small Civil War reenactment in VA, and I'd gotten in very late. After setting up, I'd only had a couple of hours of sleep. An officer from...

No, I own a house here in Memphis, have a good job, and my daughter is here. I'm pretty much stuck in Memphis.

I agree! There's also the arcade, the majestic, and several other really good looking bars and restaurants. I'm friends with Seamus, the guy who runs the Brass Door pub, and he'd get a kick out of a bunch of people showing up dressed to the nines. If we could get enough people together...

Hello! I'm not exactly new, as I'd originally found this site back in the mid 2000's when I was stationed in California with the Marines. I used to be somewhat active and went out to the Cicada and the Queen Mary a couple of times. Had some good times cruising around in a 1937 Buick through...

Morning, all. I've been in Memphis for the last few years and was curious, what with all the rooftop parties and the art deco restaurants and bars whether anyone from this area is on here and if they get together from time to time. The opportunity is certainly there. Somebody could take the...

My personal Fave's Buona Sera King of the Swingers Yes, We Have no Bananas Bingo Bango Bongo When You're Smiling/Shiek of Araby(Spelling) And of course, pretty much anything else he did. But I like those songs best. Just a Gigalo and Jump Jive n' Wail go without saying.

Here, I must SINCERELY disagree, and your post actually specifically denotes just what movies have done for us. Movies are made specifically for shock. it sells. I husband cheating on his wife in the fifties, when that was frowned upon, and then (so it seems) it turns out to be quite common...

Bombay. It's not bottom shelf, and it tastes good enough to suit my fancy. Not a big Gin drinker though. I like it well enough, but bourbon just keeps calling my name. You know how it goes when you get drunk and just order your usual.

*Snip* Anyway, sorry for the politics. On to the actual subject at hand: (Apology accepted -Bartender) Movies. You see, movies just aren't what they used to be, and they have seriously changed the American public. In the old days, movies portrayed the hero as the rough and tough kind of...

Key Volunteers are awesome. Thanks for all the free beer. And for those that don't know, never EVER advertise free beer in my presence. Two words that will ruin your business if you're near a Marine Corps base: Open Bar.

Just a few thoughts: Ya know, I was reading all of thoses posts, and a couple of them really made me wonder. Here we are in a forum that hails dressing up as the coolest thing since ice cubes, and I see some people that say that classy is defined by jeans. Jeans have never been, since their...

Dead Serious: I had had thoughts of getting together with buddies after the Corps and opening a club, but that's a mere pipedream, so let me share with you our ideas so that you can put them to some good use. Better somebody than nobody, right? As far as dress code, it has to be vital. One...

Heh. You know what we really say about pain? It hurts.

God. TriCare is enough of a pain that a lot of the wives I know just pay out of pocket. A sergeant I know, whose name I won't name since the Marine Corps is so small, his wife has permanant damage from a Navy nurse screwing her all up during the birth of their child. I won't go into the...

If you do it, I'm gonna have to say "As Time Goes By" or The Moroccan are the two best names so far. But sadly, you've been beaten to the punch. I remember reading in the newspaper a few years ago about a "Rick's" being opened in Casablanca. Somebody had the idea already I guess. It would be...
