Jim's Dollhouse Pages Unrestorable: American Graffiti Deuce Coupe - Hagerty Media When pop culture becomes pop history Movie cars have a special magnetism that often outlasts the movie. Consider the bizarre creations that powered the Mad Max maniacs in the two post-apocalyptic thrillers from the 1980s. Today you can buy replicas of the bizarre creations in The Road Warrior – from Pappagallo’s “beerkeg” roadster to the cut-down ‘60s Ford pickup with the machine gun, or even Max’s own Ford Falcon Interceptor. But those are replicas, the real cars are Holy Grails, and many were destroyed during filming. For many Baby Boomers, American Graffiti’s star cars are icons. Alongside Harrison Ford, Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Wolfman Jack, Candy Clark, Paul LeMat, Bo Hopkins, Suzanne Somers, Mackenzie Phillips and Charlie Martin Smith, who could forget the yellow ’32 Ford Coupe, white ’58 Chevrolet Impala, black ’55 Chevy 2-door sedan, white ’56 Ford Thunderbird, and candy-apple red ’51 Mercury Coupe?

The Lawsuit Over Calling Someone 'Fucking Crazy' on Twitter Is Fucking Crazy Hey, those of you with poor Twitter judgment: It’s completely cool to call someone “fucking crazy” on Twitter, though you might have to go through the trouble of a legal battle with the person you accused, as one horse enthusiast in Kentucky just found out. The whole thing is a bit nutty, so bear with me here for a moment: Toxicology research scientist Mara Feld bought a horse named Munition for $1 a few years ago. Feld quickly learned that keeping a horse in Massachusetts is not a cheap proposition, and sold Munition to a person who eventually sent the horse to a slaughterhouse. Not a good look. The whole thing raised a bunch of eyebrows in online horse communities and eventually, in 2010, got to Crystal Conway, who works in the thoroughbred industry in Kentucky. After reading about what happened to Munition, Conway did what lots of us do after we read something very upsetting—she hopped on Twitter and tweeted: “Mara Feld aka Gina Holt [an alias]—you are fucking crazy!” The Lawsuit

Blog My Times column of 30 December 2013: It was only five years ago that “Anglo-Saxon” economics was discredited and finished. Continental or Chinese capitalism, dirigiste and heavily regulated, was the future. Yet here’s the Centre for Economics and Business Research last week saying that Britain is on course to remain the sixth or seventh biggest economy until 2028, by when it is poised to pass Germany, mainly for demographic reasons. Three others of the top ten will be its former colonies: the US, India and Canada. Even today, of the IMF’s top ten countries by per capita income, four are part of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora — the United States, Canada, Australia and Singapore, (Hong Kong would be there too if it were a country).
Fun Fall Projects...Découpage Pumpkins That late summer/early fall feeling is beginning at my house! The cicadas are singing and my ginger lilies are beginning to bloom...always a sign that fall is on the way!

Hey...you need a little lead time to create your fall decor! ...this on the cover of their October 2011 issue! I decided that a few things about my pumpkins would be different from those in Country Living. For the damask pumpkin: 1. The calico print pumpkin was a little harder:1. The vintage-y pumpkin quilt design was downloaded from Country Living’s web site.

{Glow-in-the Dark} Trick or Treat Pendant A few years ago when Hobby Lobby first opened in Central Florida I stocked up on a wide variety of pendants. Knowing that one day I would want to make customized pendants using the fabulous Dimensional Magic! Before we left for vacation I made this haunting necklace. I decided to add a layer of Glow-In-The-Dark Mod Podge before sealing it with the Dimensional Magic to give it a mysterious and enchanting look. I plan to give this to one of my favorite spooky ghouls! Supplies: Halloween Paper (Martha Stewart Mat Pad) 1″ circular hole punch Circular Pendant Dimensional Magic Glow-in-the-Dark Mod Podge Foam Brush/Plate Mod Podge Silcone Mat Paper Clip (for getting out air bubbles) Using a 1″ hole circular hole punch cut out your favorite Halloween phrase. Once your piece of paper has been cut to size make sure it fits in your pendant. Then, using a foam brush, dab a little of the Glow-in-the-Dark Mod Podge on to the bottom of the pendant. Now, let your pendant dry over night. Share and Enjoy
