    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    You know what I am guilty of doing? Standing in the aisle on the phone with my wife trying to figure out what she told me to get. I'm a very specific guy and she is not always very exact. "You said you wanted a regular size package of beans? So is that 8 ounces or 20? Red beans or kidney? What...

    Pants Recommendations?

    We are encouraged to keep it business casual. In fact, the boss expressly forbids ties and prefers we wear polo shirts or business casual button downs. My default "uniform" is khaki pants, a button down shirt and a sweater or sweater vest. Being on a gravel lot, I prefer boots (polished) to...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Pulling off the road into a shopping complex, I loathe people who slam on their brakes when the other two crosslanes have a STOP sign but inbound traffic does not.

    Pants Recommendations?

    Looking for a recommendation for some rugged or heavy duty pants that would pass in a casual office. I sell class 6-8 trucks (box trucks to semis) and most of my day is on an office but I'm always climbing up into and around trucks. I've ruined a couple pairs of pants already. I've settled for...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference? -The Departed

    Things that make you smile

    Been on a bit of a diet recently. But today I grabbed lunch at this little hot dog spot down the way. Two chilli dogs with onions. Fantastic. The smell. The taste. Poppyseed buns. Brings me back to being 8 or so and going on Saturdays with my dad and brothers to get lunch and see a movie (my mom...

    Could you survive?

    As much as I love the aesthetic of the clothing, music and movies of the past, I could not go back. Frankly, the social/racial climate would be too much for a modern person of color, like me.

    Hair Loss

    For disclosure, I am bald. I have a thinning hairline so I just shave everything. I was curious because I ran across a reproduction of an old ad at some home decor store and it just got me thinking!

    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    I have been trying to bring back such noir-ish terms as "twist", "skirt", "dame" or "frail". Most have no idea what I am talking about.

    Clean Jokes

    A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to...

    Hair Loss

    So, I'm not sure if this belongs here or in a more "grooming" related category, but here goes. What did people do in the past when they lost hair? How common were toupees? Did a lot of guys just shave it like they seem to do today?

    What's on your keychain?

    Currently, just keys and a bunch of those little plastic mini-cards for grocery store discounts. The tags that actually get used are my gym membership card (just run it under the bar code scanner for entrance) and my library card. I just ordered one of these bad boys...

    Poll - How old...?

    1927. Great apartment building with plaster walls and 1930's tile in the bathroom. Hardwood floors too. They just do not build them like this anymore. I feel like this building could withstand a direct missile attack!

    Clean Jokes

    A very stern, religious old woman finally convinced her husband of many years to go with her on a trip to the Holy Land. While there, she lectured him (as always) on his lack of piety and appreciation. The day before they were to leave, she passed away. The local undertaker offered to bury her...
