    Who took the "Swing" out of swing dancing?

    An annoying term.

    Ok, I may be the only one here who feels this way but, the term "Old School" is something I just don't care for at all. Why do we use it? What power does it posses over say, antique, vintage or classic? If something is old, why not say it's classic or vintage? Old School is such a "Thugsta"...

    Ok, with the current prices of gas as they be, I'm thinking of reinstating the gas ration for my own car... yes, it's a 46 but, my question is this... When was gas rationing officially over? I see in 1946 they were using the single '45 plate with a small yellow year tag in the corner of the...

    Who's with me?

    Ok, you know how much I love the big band era and the music that came out of that time... also, we all know the wonderful technology that we have for movie making and what they can reproduce with a computer that doesn't exist any longer. So, I was thinking of finding a way to submit an idea...

    Just a regular Joe.

    Well, as some of you know by now, I’m no longer a “Bartender” here at the Lounge. Nope, I was getting pretty burned out and I had a long talk with MK on the phone last week… he could tell my passion was being sapped by responsibly and politics. He and I both agreed that a brake was in order...
