    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Wooden Cigar boxes are still made. Go to a real Cigar store and you will find the top shelf brands are still using cedar.

    Bourbon

    Simply go to Tennessee and tell the distillers they are making bourbon. Quoting NAFTA regulations will not win you any friends there either. In the US only Kentucky makes bourbon. Just like Scotch comes from Scotland and Irish comes from Ireland. You don't have to believe me but if you press...

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    One thing is racism was institutionalized and is represented in a lot of the "banned" media. Since society is very thin skinned about it there are all sorts of cartoons and comedy shorts that will not be seen on TV in our lifetimes. As an example of how it works, just think of Mel Brooks...

    A bachelors degree is the new high school diploma in California. You need a BA to deliver pizzas . One place wanted a Masters to do data entry for purchasing!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    9mm or 45cal

    This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless.
