I thought "DATAW" would appear in the subject line of all of these asinine
posts.

Graham, I remember hearing about that (probably here). I remember the
first time I was allowed to wear pants at school. Also in the 1960's.

Ha! I remember ads for Brylcream. Yeah. Greasy hair. Just what
everyone wants. Don't let us forget Alberto V05 for women!

My SO bemoans the fact he went bald at a young age. I don't understand
it. His being bald certainly doesn't bother me. He can get in and out
of the shower in 5 minutes. It takes me 15 to wash and condition my
hair. And then have to comb it out. Count your blessings!

Socks are easy. I don't wear them. LOL Try pantyhose sometime... (teasing)

These days I get my hair cut GI style, so in winter when I have a
fresh haircut I wear a knitted cap indoors and to sleep. When working
outdoors in warm weather I wear a wide brim hat for sun protection.

I used all those at one time or another but way back when my mom
combed my hair she used this:

I still have a full head of thick wavey hair so once it grows in after
a haircut now I use VO5 or Yardley Brilliantine.

I have a few pairs of white cotton athletic socks and some black dress
socks but since I retired I rarely wear socks... mostly I live in flip
flops indoors and LL Bean boots outdoors... it's rare I wear sneakers
and rarer I wear dress shoes.

There's a story about Peter Sellers, probably not true,
but still a good story. He went into a restaurant
without a tie. The management gave him one to wear.
So, he tied it around his forehead (groovy in the 60s) and then sat down at the table.

About 30 years ago we were visiting my wife's aunt and uncle in Calgary
and wanted to take them to a nice restaurant. In had not taken a tie and
ties were required at the place we were going. Her uncle loaned me a
strong tie. Yahoo I felt like a formal cowboy.

If I still had to wear the wool pants like when I was a kid, I'd wear
the panty hose under them. They were incredibly itchy and I'd sometimes
wear my PJ's under them.

Everybody's gots to do their own thing. You like the tips - I discard
them. I have to agree that the drum part ain't that much fun but they
come as a set and their presence intensifies the goodness of the wingy
thingie.

Not at all if you learn how to cook them properly. Chicken breast is
so good if done right but it's hard to get it right. Only a minute or
two goes by between cooking it perfectly and overcooking it.

I love chicken breast meat, but I can understand why so many people have
have issues with it. I used to find them dry and tasteless, but then I
learned how quickly it goes from cooked to dry and tasteless. We eat a
lot of chicken breasts here and they are almost always just cooked,
tender, juicy and tasty.

Let me just say this. I ate in a gourmet joint once for a very special occasion, took another couple along, and was quite appalled that they allowed men in the dining room in wife-beaters. Who wants to glimpse a mass of black armpit hair at the next table?

As to head gear, I guess they decided visors, hats et al - verboten - period.
Yeah, I know, here comes the old 'I'm a chemo patient' etc....sorry, I don't buy it. Take the @$#% hat off.

I was surprised that my daughter's boyfriend was able to perfectly cook chicken breasts on a charcoal grill. It's something I wouldn't try. He wants to own a restaurant when he grows up. Well, at least he can cook a chicken breast. :-)

I like to grill chicken breast, and I either do a dry rub or marinate
them. I usually buy them for a local grocery store that sells small,
thin breasts that cook quickly. They are nicely done without ending up
overcooked.

Congrats on that. I wouldn't try it as I lack the confidence that I can
do it. OTOH, I don't care much for chicken breasts so there's little
chance that I'll ever get good at it.
