    The Old Guys threak

    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...

    What is your go-to, aS$-kicking shoe?

    The black wingtip thread got me to a-thinkin' - what is your go-to shoe when you need to kick ass at work? For me, when I need to perform at a hearing, deposition, trial or other big event, it's my black wingtip Vass P2s. Something about strapping on those things and clunk, clunk, clunking down...

    You are watching Girls of Hedsor Hall, and you are watching From Gs to Gents

    You are watching these. Fess up. If not, you should be. Not sure I'm the target demographic but I can't.turn.them.off.

    Anything happen while I was gone?

    Oy, I think my last post was a year ago. I've been kind of busy. I see Conne is up to 16,000 posts, which should be good for about .8 off his GPA. And Dakota Rube is hunting along the beaches of North Dakota for young girls in Ugg boots... What else? Uh, I got some Spanish-made shoes from...

    Rank your obsessions

    We love our hobbies, to the point of obsession (the very purpose of SF is to feed one of them). However, if you could only have two, and have to forego the rest, which two would you keep, and which two would be most difficult to give up? My 2 keepers: Classical music listening Performance...

    Radar/laser detectors

    Do these things still work, in light of the advances made by the highway patrol side? Way back when, the Valentine 1 was the only one to get; still the case?

    Blu-ray wins?

    Looks like Blu-ray is squeezing out HD DVD and it's happening fast: NYT: Nothing has been announced, but Variety is reporting that the last two major studios backing HD DVD "” NBC Universal and Paramount "” are opening the door for a switch to Blu-ray. These studios have commitments to release...

    I've become a soccer (football) fan

    Not so long ago I was one of those Americans who didn't understand why the world was so crazy about soccer. I've posted here a couple of times in the past to that effect. About two months ago I bought a 50-inch tv and starting casually watching the soccer channel, instead of basketball and NFL...

    DC housing suggestions

    Outside chance that Mr. Checks might be finding his way from flyover country to DC in the not-too-distant future. I'm trying to get some advice about where I could find housing, in light of the following factors, in order to maximize the benefit of an upcoming housing tour. Appreciate your...

    Ordering contact lenses on-line???

    Could anyone here recommend an on-line contact lens seller ? Wondering if I need a prescription (I know which lenses I need). Thanks as always.

    Canali shirts?

    I see these at Saks on sale for $95-145. They look very nice; just wondered if anyone here had any experience with them, especially re: shrinkage. Appreciate any other thoughts. I've been buying H&K but looking to expand and liked the colors/patterns.

    The New York Diary, 2nd edition

    Strangers in our own land, Team Checks made its second annual assault on New York City recently. Five days later, my senses are still overwhelmed at the sights, the sounds, the smells... - Highlights included a behind-the-scenes tour of a major fashion magazine, more trips to Bergdorf Men than...

    Dane Cook

    Why does anyone think he's funny? A buddy I really respect made me watch Cook's tv special and I literally didn't laugh once. Has he ever said anything funny? Am I just too dimwitted to 'get' it? I'm not edgy enough?

    "He takes a whiskey drink..."

    I hope the Scotch threads live forever. Having said that, from time to time a man drinks bourbon. Since weaning off the Canadian whiskey blends, I've opted for the old standards, Jim and Jack. Many here among might go for Maker's Mark, which I haven't tried. Ditto for the well-marketed...

    Anyone recommend a good Jaguar dealer?

    As noted in my other thread, I'm looking at buying a used, certified Jag, but I'm frustrated with my local dealer. Looking for Jag dealer recommendations east of the Mississippi, prefer DC, Midwest, or NY/NJ/Penn. Many thanks.

    Link your cool car video here

    Check out the Dunlop site (click on "injection TV" and find your way to the "thrills" and "chills" videos). There are two great Caterham videos. Turn up the sound. http://www.dunloptires.com/ Warning: many otherwise-cool videos are afflicted with the "bad rock music" soundtrack which they...

    Jag S-type or other used sedan, thoughts?

    Thinking of getting a circa 2004 Jag S-type, probably 3.0 instead of V8. Drove the S-type and the X-type today, and vastly preferred the smoothness of the S's drivetrain (strong drivetrain lash from X-type, AWD) and the general overall feel. Cabin is first-rate. Made me feel all good inside...
