    Berets, Anyone?

    That was my thought as well.

    Berets, Anyone?

    So I'm curious, being a bit of a nerd on both berets and monarchical history, I've always liked the classic Carlist beret with the tassel. Does anyone know if there's still a source for these? So far I've turned up nothing; in fact I wonder if these were largely just local red berets with the...

    Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"

    I rather appreciated that scene in a morbid way, for the way it was executed but also, when looking at it from the perspective of the German soldier that shot that old man, were I in that same awful position I could see myself doing the same thing. One of your own people, whether you view them...

    Your most historically interesting militaria

    I suppose the pride of my collection is my small Imperial German Great War lot, a 1914 Iron Cross II class, a Bavarian Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with Swords, and a Wound Badge in Black. I do have a number of CCCP and DDR medals and badges as well, including a WWII Order of the Red Star and...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Just received my vintage Medico Jetstream in the mail today; filled it with some Brigadier Black Sherman's March and puffed away. Lovely little pipe with classic 1950s lines.

    Pretty weird & unsettling...

    I'm convinced Cash For Clunkers was a scheme to get rid of old cars that people could actually fix themselves in order to force them to buy new vehicles that can only be maintained at dealer in order to pump more cash into the flagging auto industry and force dependency. I regret my generation...

    Pretty weird & unsettling...

    I'm actually a little surprised no one has commented on a more practical aspect of this gadget: that it can stock shelves. As I recall Boston Dynamics was acquired by Google, and Atlas uses the same sensor package as the Google driverless car. It immediately strikes me Google is trying to corner...
