There is no definitive answer on this, but my personal preference is that "theatre" refers to the art/medium, and "theater" is the place it is performed.
This reminds me of one of my favorite and most embarrassing of my father's stories. He was born in Egypt, and attended boarding school in...
On a related note, how does one get a collar bar to fit properly on a collar? I've never been able to do it. Maybe the collar bars I have are just too short.
I have a 21 year old Balvenie that I quite like.
One of my favorites is a 16 year Craggenmore. It was surprisingly light in color for the age of the scotch. I also rather enjoyed my 12 (?) year Glenrothes.
For a good, inexpensive, "scotch" I highly recommend Nikka. It's not scotch, since it's...
I believe she used a combination. It's been a while so I can't remember. She nicked the shit out of my face, though. But my neck is particularly sensitive so I don't hold that against her.
She used shaving cream out of one of those warm lather machines.
Classic Style Mag? What's up?
I have emailed Classic Style Magazine 2 or 3 times in the last 3 months and I've gotten no response. I was trying to find out if my subscription ever got renewed. It doesn't look like a new issue is out yet, either. Has the magazine folded?
I forgot I started this thread.
The straight razor shave was underwhelming. She didn't even use a brush! And the shave wasn't as close as I've been able to get when shaving myself. Is that normal? I'd always read that a straight-razor shave will be the closest you'll ever get...though that...
Nope. Nowhere special at all, actually. I'm coming back to work. And today is the first Thursday in a year that I haven't had a show.
But really, I'm using it now because I want to grow my beard back (got rid of it 2 weeks ago) so the sooner I use it, the sooner I can start growing it back.
Straight Razor Shave -- Do I tip?
Today I am using a gift certificate for a straight razor shave that I got for Xmas. I've never gotten a shave at a barber before. Am I expected to tip? The shave costs $25. I was thinking I'd just bring a $5 just in case. Is that appropriate?
I figured I'd post this here, since it's more reliable than eBay.
Does anyone have a functional antique typewriter they're looking to get rid of? The year isn't particularly important, as long as it has the old-style circular keys, and its typeface is passable as being from the early 20th...
My thoughts on Season 1 -- Netflix it. You can only see Really Young Indiana Jones get into pesky mischief and leaving the house when he's supposed to be in bed so many times.
The tail end of Season 1 has Sean Patrick Flannery episodes, which are much more worth while. The Nancy Drew episode...
It was probably an editing mistake. In the book he definitely puts it together. At some point someone asks if they should do on an autopsy to find out the caliber of a gun used in a murder and the sheriff says not to bother because he won't find a bullet. He definitely knows in the book.
The...
Scored this on eBay a few days after Xmas. It's a thick tweed-y wool. Has a label that says it was made in Indonesia. Fits rather well...and it was $5.
I got a hand-written gift certificate for Xmas, good for money towards some bespoke shirts. There are 3 names on the gift certificate, but I can use anyone I like in Austin.
Does anyone know of some good tailors in Austin TX who will custom make shirts for around $100 apiece? Here are the...
This suit was almost exactly my size, and surely would have fit with minor alterations. It would have been my first vintage suit but, alas, it was not meant to be. I was outbid.

I *love* the style of the vest. Is vintage the...
I always liked the design of Indy's revolvers. They lie somewhere between the look of classic old-west revolvers, and modern revolvers. huh
Does anyone know what kind of revolver he had in The Last Crusade? It was a top-break (just looked up and learned that term) model. Possibly a Webley...
