 ;D ;D  I think I've got about 3 or 4 color pictures from that day,  they were taken by an Uncle,  don't know where he came up with color film,  all the other pictures I have are black and white until sometime up in the late 60's when a few color pictures start showing up.

Tex, them red boots was the very first pair of walkin boots I had, my Mom kept em around forever,  they may still be in here in some of her stuff we kept.  my Grandpa bought em for me down at the Bully  Good Saddle shop in Muskogee,  I don't know how many pairs of em he bought me but  I had em evertime my shoe size changed. ;)  if you'll notice my coat is as close to what his looked like as he could find. ;)    I was named after him, so it was always Bill & little Bill,  people who knew me all my life called me that for years after Grandpa had passed on.

OT, I was always known as Little Jim, because Dad's business partner had a son named Jim also. He is about 5 years older than I am.  I came home for a visit after I moved to Dallas, I had been working out and I was up to about 210. We ran into the other Jim and my Dad said " I don't think we can call him Little Jim anymore" and they didn't.

Did someone say denim?

Here's my grandmother and father at Christmas somewhere around 1976.  My father worked for Levi Strauss.  Can you guess who made his suit?

My father told me that he probably still has it.  He was still wearing the same jeans, corduroys and shirts in the 90s that he wore in the 70s.  When he retired he started wearing them more often began to thin the herd, but he still has much of the old stuff left. 

Heck, last Christmas he was wearing the same Levi's fake sheepskin vest that he wore in the 70s.

Them patents are getting hard to find also, especially the hard to find colors. It takes a bunch to make a pair of shoes.
Title: Re: Old Christmas Photo's
Post by: Trinity on December 29, 2008, 03:29:42 PM
I killed one with a shotgun once.  Unfortunately, that caused the price to go down.  It's a hard life hunting patents/naugas/corinthians.  They're just so darned small.

Now, the Fauxs are a different story.  They're pretty large and have a nice bare spot on their belly where you can to shoot 'em without ruining any of the fur.  For them, you can rack up a huge stack of Marshal Island Dollars.

Well then it's time ta go on safari an bag us some a them Pleather Beasts.  Heard a 50 cal muzzle loader will drop one in it's tracks.  JC Pennys is givin high dollar fer em these days.

Post by: Trinity on December 29, 2008, 04:32:15 PM
Naw.  From a distance the 50 cal will leave way too large an exit hole.  Those things are just as tame as anything and look just like a beanbag with legs.  You can pounce on their backs and stick them behind the ear with an icepick.  Minimal loss of hide.
Title: Re: Old Christmas Photo's

Leone is one of the first directors who was interested in portraying the era accurately.  It doesn't mean that he tried to be dead on.  As has been said before.  "If you want accuracy, read a book.  Otherwise, shut up and enjoy the movie." (NOT directed at you LT).

Hmmm... my first hero: Eastwood, or my second hero Wayne.  Tough choice.  TCM... no commercials.  TCM wins.  Thanks for the tip!
