    What are you getting your gf/wife/sidepiece for the Holidays ?

    I'm giving her a 24-hour reprieve from quoting old arguments. Maybe also a sweater from Macy's.

    Stoves/Ranges

    Well, do they work better? I guess is the question. From what I think I'm seeing on further research, they're not available in dual-fuel (e.g. electric oven) ranges. They appear to only be available in gas ovens (not sure why you can't still have a gas IR broiler with an electric bottom coil in...

    January '72 was Marilyn Cole. Quite bushy. January '71 was Liv. Just a wisp of PH. Playmate archive. I was going to click on DR's link to "playmate archive" but I figured it was just a photo of a musty basement cellar in North Dakota or something. You know, that "archive" way in the back in...

    Are you serious or kidding, because Wikipedia says he lives in Wilmer, AL? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Sexton I was just guessing that he would have wanted to off himself once the 80s were over; apparently not.

    NJ cops are complete a**holes

    I do alot of driving on the NJ tpke and the Garden State pkwy & I gotta agree that NJ cops are pricks especially the state troopers. The last time I got pulled over the cop tried flirting with me - I think he gave me a ticket because I rejected him. WTF? I'm not ****. I admit that I did have one...

    The Tucson Toros were the AAA franchise for the Astros. This is a picture of the uniforms from 1980... Shortly after January 1, 1990, Jimmy Sexton killed himself.

    Like DakRube, I am not nostalgic. Probably more jealous than nostalgic. One thing I really like it that I don't look like my parents did when they were in their 40s, yikes. There's some great stuff going on right now, foremost of which is lapels smaller than a B-52.

    Easy enough to say but what if the line of work you want pays jack? Not to derail though, there have been several threaks on this topic. Duh. But even with sneakers? Somewhere on the SF there is a picture of my low-tops with shoe treez

    Was the Selectric the one that was the huge advance because it had a little mag card thing that actually recorded what was typed, and then you could correct it later? Or was that the Selectric II? Can't believe I'm about to Google this . . . Edit: The Wikipedia article on Selectrics is really...

    Hey old bros, What life advice would you have for us young bucks? Sincerely yours, Matrostiels If you don't want to get out of bed to go to work, find a different line of work. Use shoe trees. This is an easy one since you're on the SF: buy quality.

    Estates...(any lawyers?)

    Get an estate lawyer, not the guy who got your buddy Joe off on the minor in possession. Specialists feast on generalists for this kind of stuff.

    Jersey Shore MTV Series

    Who cares....we have the GIF. The aftermath will still be shown. Pause the show. Play the GIF 10 or 20 times in a row. Resume the show. No harm done. Concur. What I find fascinating is the absolute Darwinism of this little slice of humanity - Epi 1 - "hey, Snickers might leave" - group...

    Estates...(any lawyers?)

    No responsible, informed person can answer this for you here. Get a lawyer who only does this kind of stuff. When someone starts telling you "when my uncle died my cousin said I should go to probate...." you need to run away. Just get an estate lawyer.

    What's the Most Expensive Shoe You Own?

    Vass wingtips or Lobb loafers. Both have held up well, as I damn well expect them to at that price.

    Has anyone up and moved entirely and never looked back?

    Brighton, UK -> Manchester, UK (well, did go back to Brighton for a few months) -> Orlando, FL I cannot imagine having to live in the same place my entire life. Sure I'll move on again at some point too. There is nothing more exciting and liberating than landing in a new place with nothing but...

    Dale Carnegie Course - Any Opinions?

    Meh, no firsthand experience with that one specifically but generally I agree with fuuma... all the self-help stuff (an oxymoron) is really for people who can't help themselves and tend to float around. If the stuff REALLY worked everyone would be buying. It's usually a lot of feel good "you're...

    Porterhouse Steak

    Am amazed that anyone would put olive oil on a good piece of meat. I'm a fan of salt/pepper, cast iron, 90 seconds each side, then into the Viking broiler until it resists pressure when pushed upon, then out of the skillet to rest for 3-5 minutes. I have been tenting w/ alum foil, but I'll try...

    Do you know what an IBM Selectric is? Do you remember going to a bank when you needed money? Do you find yourself answering "yes" to each and every "would you hit it?" theak - as Dakota did recently ? "Yes?" Well then let's gather here my friends. We learn from the young-uns, surely, but we...
