    If any one wanted to see my halloween costume...

    V, that is INTENSE! Hat's off to you, you went the whole way! I'm kind of curious about the face...did you have a half-prosthetic, or is that an entire mask? I was trying to think of a way to wear vintage for Halloween this year, and if I hadn't thought of it too late, I would've found...

    Do you have a nickname?

    heeheehee...boy, I've missed you, Holly! :p Okay, fair is fair. When I was little, my parents called me Charlie...which is NOT my name. But my father and I had the same name, so to distinguish me - Charlie. They don't recall if it was for Charlie Brown or some cartoon character called...

    Help me explore names for our new Not For Profit

    Hmmm...Hoosier Educator? (You have to say it out loud so you get the "Who's your daddy?" joke. ;)

    Help me explore names for our new Not For Profit

    Hmm. Indiana Jonesing For The Quest To Educate Ecuador? (Which conveniently spells IJQEE.) (Sorry, I couldn't really top James Powers'...his sound pretty good to me. [huh]

    Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

    Thanks for the nod, Clyde. :cool: For anyone who has a Fry's Electronics near them (you Californians in specific), they've been carrying Dead Mean in their assortment of stocked movies - I've found it and bought it there twice now (one an Xmas present) for $7! There's only ever ONE on the...

    The Great Beer Thread

    You got me on the details. I believe the General is one of Godfried's descendants. (Or my wife's family has been lying to me again. :rolleyes: )

    The Great Beer Thread

    Good to meet you, ronjohn - welcome to The Fedora Lounge! (Trivia: I married into the Dearborn family, for which Dearborn MI is named. Seems Godfried Dearborn moves west across the 'new world' while...er...starting multiple family trees, let's say...so pretty much EVERYONE named Dearborn in...

    For the railroad folks, like me....

    Actually, I'm wondering if my old Spirit Of 76 (Tyco, I think) looks anything like the Freedom Train Michaelson mentioned...I'll have to look it up. Got an HO scale repro of a D&H caboose just like the one my grandfather rode, too. That's my favorite piece. Really have to get that stuff...

    Hair cuts

    Is that an old TV on the stand in the corner, or a microwave? Matt, I love what you've done w/ your hair. And your nose and your teeth. And your chin. You look just like one of my cousins now. That's the family chin. :rolleyes:

    rare 210 million yr old fossil found by accident

    That's why I like you, Mr. Berns, your steadfast support of the arts. ;)

    WW II Television Series

    Helicopter crash during an unsafe stunt, as I recall...I believe the director was blamed, and probably was to blame, but was found not to be 'blameable' for some reason. I believe two children were killed at the same time. Tragic end. Combat was a frequent rerun in a block of black&whites...

    Female War Correspondents, Uniforms

    Wow, Mr. Berns, sir, just - wow. You are a FONT of knowledge! :cool:

    Female War Correspondents, Uniforms

    hahaha...with a magic shaving bowl for a hat, too... Don't worry, Q - so long as you get clothes THAT FIT I don't think ANYONE would mistake you for a boy. ;) Thanks, ZF - I kind of figured it was something like that, but don't have access to the resources. Perfect! :D

    Female War Correspondents, Uniforms

    Actually, yes. Note in that first pic of Therese Bonney, although obviously staged to show off her medal, that it implied her 'working gear' consisted of an A-2, a uniform shirt, and TROUSERS! I bet she's in combat boots to go w/ that helmet, too. Hang a cam around your neck and bring your...
