    Porter beer?

    +1 on the Founders. Draft Fuller's is my first choice, but bottled Founders is not bad at all.

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    Since you mentioned Gidget, a bit of Americana trivia: I recently learned that she is a real person, the 17 year old capable of surfing with the guys on Malibu Beach in 1957. The group that set the archetype of West Coast surfing culture all went by nicknames, and since Kathy was only about 4...

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    Firefly : some of the best SF ever done on TV. Space Rangers - Fort Hope : had the potential to be goofy-great, only lasted 6 epsiodes.

    Recruiting: Lounge members for special edition Moonstone Camp Draft

    Just thinking out loud here... If it was possible to have any of Akubra's colors except moonstone, what would the consensus be? I've never seen it, but the sand color might be closer to a true silverbelly.

    Clean Jokes

    The Pope is sitting at his desk one fine spring morning. Suddenly the doors to his study burst open and several Cardinals, breathless and disheveled come running in, shouting "Your Holiness, your Holiness, this is it, THE BIG ONE! Its the Second Coming! Christ is riding across St. Peter's...

    David Morgan web site hacked

    Hi to all, I received a phone call from Lifelock to tell me that my email address along with an encrypted password had been posted in some dodgy chat room somewhere. They advised me that if that email/password combination was used anywhere else (which it was) the passwords should be changed...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    This one arrived on Saturday A sage green Stratoliner: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290661887305 A bit pricey but I think worth it. It is in really nice, near-mint shape but could maybe use a clean and re-block. I'm thinking of running it over to Optimo.

    Vodka

    The best vodka I've ever tasted was bootlegged from Siberia in a suitcase. The label was all in Russian. Not much hope of finding that brand around here.

    Vodka

    Good stuff, I love that hint of vanilla that's in it.

    I'd say it depends on what sort of feel you prefer in your hat. The felt in the Imperial CD is thin and lightweight but well able to hold its shape. The felt in the Heritage is thicker and heavier, more of a Stetson 25 / 7x CB feel to it.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Yep. Its a bit of a gamble on the size though. The seller's stated circumference of 21 inches made no sense at all so I asked for the length and width. The reported 7 3/4 in long and 6 1/2 in wide is identical to a 7X Clear Beaver in 7 1/8 that fits me perfectly. My guess is that this hat...
