I use a 1939 Gruen Curvex and alternately a 1940 Bulova tank watch (the Bulova insides are 1941, though).

Agreed. Although a slate gray would work nicely if found. One tip: In order to not be disappointed, be sure to look like Burt.

Luksusowa potato vodka, on the rocks. My go-to for the last year or so.

No embarrassment here. Take heart in the fact that if a lady gets close enough to see your fuzzies, you've already won her over!

I read all the paperback reprints of The Shadow pulp novels that Bantam (and later Pyramid) were re-issuing back in the '70s. Even though they were just throwaway novelettes, and have none of the descriptive richness of Faulkner, Hemingway, and the rest of that league, they still capture that...

I inherited the sole cookbook that was in my family's kitchen when I was growing up, the 1943 edition of the American Woman's Cookbook. I have found that the recipes are very simple and workable for me (I'm not the most accomplished cook), probably due to wartime shortages. One thing I...

"Never dirty, always clean In giving thrills, never mean And it's the best I've ever seen, It's my girl's pussy!" It never fails to make me guffaw. Harry Roy actually married Swedish royalty, if you can imagine that. Surely there must be a duchess out there for me.

Miss Golightly, I protest! Having lived in Japan, you might think I would agree with you, but my Japanese wife was very entertained by Rooney's performance and didn't feel it was racist at all. She thought he was spot-on with the accent, too. There is someone in every ethnic group who is a...

While there certainly was a lot of hucksterism going on, Lizzie, this isn't a bona fide example. An expectorant (causes you to cough and clear debris) and a mucolytic (generates mucus secretion) both have a role in getting the body to expel agents of disease. Whether that is caused by...

Bravo, Lizzie! This needs to be put on billboards.

I love your sense of humor.

Well, youngster, on a "real" American bike, you pedal backwards to brake.

One of my favorite 78 rpm records I played as a kid was Phil Harris singing "Jelly Bean". "He's a drug store cutie, a sidewalk beauty, they call him 'Jelly Bean'."
