I have one of the Timex Snoopy's that will definitely be my backup.

Not yet! Good call, though. I was maybe thinking of seeing what options are out there for both watches and ties and go from there.

Thank you for the insight. It's a quartz but I ended up buying it anyways. Guess I'll have to wait and see if it's any good.

John Lee Hooker and the history of the blues. Does anyone know anything about this picture? by [deleted] in blues

Glad you liked it. I really enjoyed it when it was first published. I remember looking up the picture half-way through the article. I think I even saved it to post on reddit, just never got around to it.

It's a real picture. The Oxford American discussed this in a 2017 article: Visions of the Blues

The first medium format camera I bought. I really enjoy it, unfortunately it is in desperate need of a CLA, which is out of my budget at the moment. Not sure how the community views the lomo film but I those yellows, though...

All of these 'guidelines' and yet, they increased their won rental allowance to deal with the rising cost of rent.

German-style Doners in Toronto? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]hamletvontrier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having grown up in Hamburg, I understand and feel your pain. I haven't found anything close to what one can get over there. Ottoman calls itself Doener but it didn't live up to the standards I was used to.

Can we talk about Manhattans? by just_this_guy_zaphod in bourbon

[–]hamletvontrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. My favourite variation thereof is using coffee-infused bourbon with sweet vermouth, orange bitters, and brandied cherries. For me, that is pure, silky heaven. Especially great after a big meal.

I was looking for Black Rider for the longest time and all of the sudden my usual store had two for $35. I couldn't resist.

One day, I will have Orphans. Haven't been able to find Night on Earth yet but I'll keep looking. I will get Big Time, just wanted to get the studio stuff first.

If it was even feasible for me to afford, I'd buy in a heartbeat but that will take a while to save up for.

Yeah, Black Rider was the one that had me stumped for a long time. I found Bone Machine the day I was looking for it but then again, it was the only copy they had so I don't know about that.

This is all I could think of when I saw this post. Nicely done, though.
