I swear, women today either look butch, or cashed in their chips with no makeup, done hair, wear sweat pants / sloppily dressed OR try to look like porn stars. AND most are significantly overweight. If I see a woman today that's under a buck / 60 and halfway dressed decent - I HAVE to look. What the h3ll happened in the last 25 yrs?

I agree. Most older women look bad. But It's also a two way street. Where's I live, most men dress exactly like the stripper spectators, ugh! But have a man in a nice shirt and clean shorts approach me, and I'm interested.

The net is to focus on ourselves. As Momma told me, "don't worry about finding a man. Be the best you can be and they'll flock to you."

If all the water and all the air were put in a separate sphere, this shows the size of the earth in relation to size.

Oh, I know the majority of men, especially younger guys didn't even have a towel to through in, in the e first place. My comments are directed primarily at the under 40 crowd.

Idaho, 1941...
This boy and girl were the champion pea pickers in the contractor's camp. They travel with their families in the contractor's camps. They have picked as many as thirty-two hampers each a day. Pay thirty cents per hamper. It is normal to pick about twenty hampers a day. Canyon County, Idaho...

Oregon, 1939...
Young mother, aged twenty-two, has one little girl three years old. Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. In mobile unit of FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp. New baby expected in December. During this year she has worked with her husband in: strawberries (Helvetia, Oregon); cherries (Salem, Oregon); beans (West Stayton, Oregon); hops (Independence, Oregon). Is now in potato pickers' camp at the end of that season. "We haven't got a cent now and we've lost our car because we've helped some people out. It seems like it's taken every cent to eat off, that and traveling around."

The enormous 110-inch wheel of the XB-36. These were later swapped with four smaller wheels.


17 years ago Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill were background actors on Deadwood. I played the Butcher of Deadwood and here's a photo from the very last episode of Deadwood


Kitchens during the 1920s rarely had counters or built-in Cabinetry. A lot of food preparation was done on a big table in the middle of the room.

Would this do? Please make an old man's day and say yes.

The whole trio (including Frank Beard(less)) was also in Back To The Future Part III:



Anybody remember which music video they first did the 'guitar spin?'

Hints: Released in 1984, won MTV Music Award for Best Group Video, and peaked at #8.
