Boy, those days when the legal drunking age in NY was 18 were sure fun. I was 18 since I was 14. Care to shotgun a coke?

Only if free shipping was included. That extra four bucks can come in handy for more worthless trash.

I used to live in Lenny's Clam Bar. New Park Pizza and Don Peppe on Lefferts were both a close second.

From what I just found, the cigarettes consist of a celluloid rod wrapped in tissue paper: Smoking Monkey Cigarettes

40 for $10? Heck. that's pretty good. Depending on where you buy them here, a pack of smokes costs $14. The "cigarettes" are tightly rolled paper. A monkey "toothpick joint", if you will.

Police Car Models makes nice light bars; unfortunately, they don't make rotators. The ambulance has two Federal Signal 17 Beacon Ray rotators and a Pulsator siren Custom Squads makes both.

She's been on a downhill slope looks-wise since the 1990s she's just one of those people who didn't age well. She's only four years older than Dawn Wells.

Just read the news at Missing Lynx. Stefan de Meyer, author of "Duel in the Mist", which is about Kampfgruppe Peiper during the Ardennes Offensive, has passed away. Stephan was known for his collection of war photos spanning the entire 20th century. He was just about to reopen his "War Through The Lens" website soon. He waill be truly missed.

http://www.customsquads.com/ (The blasted "Link" function is verkakte!!!!) makes the best in the market. All you'll need to do is coat the inner part of the dome with some clear red acrylic and you're good to go.

Max Factor wasn't one of them.

Hands down, hotter than Ginger. Especially today: There aren't enough bags in the known universe to put over Tina Louise's head.

Gilligan was a proto-hipster. As Maynard G. Krebs he pioneered the unwashed, bedbug-incubating dirty clothes and greasy, unkempt, lice-infested bed hair look favored by countless toilet paper tube necked, pipe cleaner armed, Dinty Moore lumberjack shirt wearing Q-Tip physiqued geeks named Quaid, Zach and Montague. Skipper was just a fat slob.

Ah, you know how women are. They always overpack. Ever see the cra p they stuff in their shoulder bags?

The Minnow went out for a three hour cruise and there was more stuff on that boat than you can store on an aircraft carrier.

On this side of the Atlantic, beefsteak banquets were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They've held beefsteaks in Brooklyn at the Bell House, in Gowanus, for the past couple of years. I've attended three and it's a blast! More meat than you can shake an iceberg at.

Jim, do you know Joe Bakanovic, the proprietor of Tiger Model Designs? He's located in Lynn Haven. Joe is a standup guy who treats his customers well and his casting work like a business because it is. Joe maintains a minimum stock on large items and usually casts to order. Those are sent out within the week. He never makes excuses and will contact you if there will be a delay. You can't ask for more than that.

That link i posted about Titanic's refrigeration system contained information about the large amount of food. The food was to be used for both trips across the Atlantic. Food which was to be used on the westbound voyage was kept in refrigeration lockers. Food which was to be used during the return trip was placed in thawing lockers so that it would be ready to use for that voyage. Besides, storing that much frozen food shortened turn-around times in port.

Frank Zappa was a musical genius. "Cruisin' with Ruben and the Jets" is a classic. Frank loved Doo Wops. They were one of his musical influences growing up in the '50s. As a matter of fact, he wrote "Memories of El Monte" for the Penguins, which they recorded for Art Laboe's Original Sound label in 1963.

What gets me are the casters who use every excuse possible (illness, personal issues, the heartbreak of psoriasis, my dog ate the molds) to explain why you're still waiting for the stuff you ordered a year before. Then, a week after reading the latest emailed excuse, there are a dozen posts by guys who said that they bought the same exact items you've been sitting on your hands for at a model show from the caster who had a crateful of them.

That's because I'm that kind of guy. In the right place at the right time. You want Annette Bening's phone number?

Heh, simply ingenious. I thought about using that for Ann Margaret, too.

She was on "Two and a Half Men", right?

The Australopithecus beast from "Dodgeball".

Especially those made out to that guy "Cash".

I don't believe she ever was a nun.
