Modern Radio Programs
BBC, CBC, ABC (Australia), etc. all broadcast (& stream for us in the US) modern audio theater that's fairly easy to find. Things are picking up in this country, but the growth is in the internet distribution so far. As the quality picks up and the commensurate audience gains come along we're...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Your favorite Hot Dog Stand?
Red's in San Francisco... (NOT Red's Java House) There's a crusty old place at the foot of the Bay Bridge on SF's Southern Embarcadero called "Reds" that has been there since the Big Bang. Their dogs are stunning, yet they do NOTHING to them!! The magical part is that they're just...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Modern Radio Programs

Awesomely Bad Prose!
Ahhh...pulp! Ahhhhh...pulp! Gotta love it, if you can take it with a grain of cheeze. Thankfully some of it is better than others and there's a great bookstore called "Kayo Books" in SF, CA that is: specializing in Vintage Paperbacks from the 1940s to 1970s and esoteric books of all...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Gentlemen (and Ladies), I need your help
Okay, so it figures, but... I watched a B&W movie the other night where the male lead wore a grey suit with 1/16" pinstripes (brown or blue, unsure, but not black) that were set about 1" apart. This suit KILLED!! Soooo classic. I'd go with a pinstripe color that matches your particular...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Where is my robot?
http://www.moller.com/ has a really cool prototype. There are others, but I don't have the URLs any more. I thought those were called wives? (and, er, husbands) :D- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Dance Etiquette
Hear Hear!! I can't tell you how happy I am to see these standard "8th Grade" rules spelled out clearly for those who were absent that day. I've usually had a full-time dance partner so rude behaviour hasn't affected me much, but I've seen a lot of guys treated fairly rudely by neophyte...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit

Incandescent bulbs bye bye + cartoon!
Always Look for the "Color Temperature" on CF Bulbs!!

Mensusa.com for suits ... what's the skinny?
I'd Have to See Them In Person to Buy Some of the cuts DO look nice; particularly the brown DB you linked to.

Recent Egyptian finds

Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama
Avid Anglophile Agrees About Foyle I discovered Foyle's war a couple of years ago when I learned it was Michael Kitchen's show.

Classic "Hollywood Golden Era" Portrait Photograpy
A few months ago I saw an interview of L.A. photographer "Roger Gania James" (.com) that was so impressive it caused me to immediately visit his web site. He can take a very modern face and with costuming, hair design and his art turn them into the very picture of a classic screen star. I...- Mr. Pinstripe Suit
