  1. How often have you had a meeting once a week simply because it had been a week since you'd had one and someone wanted to express his authority? I had a few women bosses and they weren't afflicted with this urge.
  2. If my doctor ever saw me eating one of those, or even ogling it seriously, she'd have me locked away.
  3. Yep, they and the Hispano Suizas are hugeish....but Lord they are elegant.
  4. I'm a concho-aholic, (and some stud and buttons, too) but I learned to be careful while wearing them. My wife nearly skinned me when I scratched up a couple of brand new solid oak dining room chairs, and later when one of them tore the cover on a sofa. I started taking them off when I got into the car or truck, went in the house, etc. I finally stopped wearing them a few years back when my tuck and duffle weighed as much as I did and my back and legs decided they didn't like me any more. I still like the look, though....that and big nice buckles like Will Ghormley's creations and a few others. Not the flashy overwhelming ones, though.
  5. That was before the lefties invented political correctness.....damn their eyes!
  6. Oh, yeah! Bill Mauldin knew soldiers. I have two of his cartoons framed on my wall.
  7. I've known a few who should have been outranked by Sgt. Bulldog's fleas. They didn't last long.
  8. I don't know where you are looking, but I still can't find what I'm looking for. I want one the same scale as the military models. I drove more converted civilian vehicle when I was stateside than I did military hardware. NWS Seal Beach had GMG, Chevy, Dodge, and Ford pick ups. Slab sided, two doors. no amenities, just essentials like heaters, wipers, etc. Not even wheel covers. I can find the most obscure Italian, Romanian, German, etc crap from WWII but there are simply no US civvie-bred 1/2 ton pickups.
  9. You can probably get the whole Miata out in a single scoop with that.
  10. I don't remember any music or singing....damn little to sing about until we got back the garrison and then was too tired and / or depressed to enjoy most of it. Had a few really good sessions though. Surprising how many guys had and could play instruments, and almost everyone could sing.
  11. Been carrying one since I found it by a cold campfire up in the Wind River Mountains when I was about ten tears old. Dad went down the the war surplus store (they still sold real military surplus in those days) when we got back and bought one for Mom's car and another for himself. "Keep the one you found for when you grow into the one you found" he told me. I did. Handier than any other I've found and a lot less likely to break.
  12. I'm not even fluent in my native tongue. How does anyone expect me to read the lyrics in these? Well? How, huh? (I don't even know what natives these folks are.)
  13. Congrats to your wife. You might do what Idid: I told my wife I was smarter than she was and could prove it. (Be careful where and how you tell her this. I nearly lost an eye.) Just explain that the proof is in who you married and who she married.
  14. And the railroad bridge behind the hotel west of Montezuma and Sheldon in Prescott, almost right next to Sam Hill's warehouse, was last used in John Wayne's movie "The Train Robbers".
  15. Okaaaaay! I got one gripe: what's with the "engine turned" jewel job on the hammer ?
  16. Dang! I never have a camera handy when something neat happens.
  17. I'll give you a dollar three eighty if you'll deliver it. I have a beautiful ocean view spot for it right here in Central Arizona right across he road from the Eiffel Tower, and there's a nice restaurant (called The Flying Dutchman) run by Amelia Earhart greeting folks and Judge Crater running the waiters and waitresses. Jimmy Hoffa will be tending bar and and Elvis is singing. We have some some other well known folks cooking, waiting tables and parking cars. Join us. We'll have a good old time.
  18. Been here! done that! You have my prayers and a piece of advice: DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!
  19. One of the most hilarious movies ever made. I don't personally like any of the others you listed. Never saw anything about Blazing Saddles that was worth seeing.
  20. Okay, Lucy, you gotta 'splain this.
  21. Dammit, now I can't find any sour cream in less than a pint jar. Damn, I hate Fry's / Kroger's...and they just bought the only other grocery (Safeway) in our town. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and go to Wally World (and I hate them almost as much as I hate Kroger's.
