    Hats and vintage: With or without Indy?

    It may be enthusiasm for the new movie, or it may be that it was always there only I never noticed it, but IJO* seems to be rampant on the boards lately. This combined with what seems to be a tendency away from discussions of vintage or "golden era" clothes and culture has me wondering... Is...

    Much better forum name.

    Congratulations to whomever came-up with the new forum name. It's an apt improvement and will almost certainly solve the few disputes that the last one resulted in. :eusa_clap

    Is Swearing a Vice?

    Deadwood had nothing on me. Withnail & I represents the baseline for swearing in my dimension. I am trying to stop - because I don't want to accidentally let 'er rip around my young son who says everything I say ("It's panda-moan-yum.) People who know me are so used to it they are no...

    2nd Lifers.... Explain.

    Can someone explain the appeal/purpose/potential of Second Life? Is there any vintage, retro or time travel appeal to it, or is it all boxy, tie-dye-looking, thrown together hideousness? Just wondering.
