having you head sticking out from a whole load of fancy, frozen dessert was considered cool?

[NQ6U]

Not to mention having a cool set of hinged chopsticks.

[kc7jty]

Haah!

[PA5COR]

It was a time of innovation, discoveries and fashion is something we can laugh about, but look over the decades we had and some strange fashion we had in our lifetime... ( though the miniskirt......) ;)

Good read: Kepler's Witch by James Connor.

LOVE ruffled collars like that. Been looking to buy one for years -- can't find one, though.

Join a convent.

[KK4AMI]

Hmm, great way to hide my extra chins!

[W3MIV]

So long as you don't try to swallow.

[K7SGJ]

Join a convent.

I would if I could hang (and fly) with Sister Bertrill.

That's Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean) in one of his other roles as Black Adder. Albi, you'd enjoy the hell out of that series. I like it so much I'm tempted to buy the Deluxe DVD set.

One of the best comedy series ever to emerge from England, Black Adder traces the deeply cynical and self-serving lineage of various Edmund Blackadders from the muck of the Middle Ages to the frontline of World War I. In his pre-Bean triumph, British comic actor Rowan Atkinson played all five versions of Edmund, beginning with the villainous and cowardly Duke of Edinburgh, whose scheming mind and awful haircut seem to stand him in good stead to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury--a deadly occupation if ever there was one.

Among tales of royal dethronings, Black Death, witch smellers (who root out spell makers with their noses), and ghosts, Edmund is a perennial survivor who never quite gets ahead in multiple episodes. Jump to the Elizabethan era and Atkinson picks up the saga as Lord Edmund, who is perpetually courting favor from mad Queen Bess (Miranda Richardson) and is always walking a tightrope from which he can either gain the world or lose his head. Subjected to bizarre services for her majesty (at one point, Edmund is asked to do for potatoes what Sir Walter Raleigh did for tobacco), Edmund--as with his ancestor--can never quite fulfill his larger ambitions.

The next incarnation we encounter is in late-18th-century Regency England. This time, Blackadder is a mere butler to the idiotic Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie in a brilliantly buffoonish performance) and is caught in various misadventures with Samuel Johnson, Shakespearean actors, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and William Pitt the younger.

With a brief stop in Victorian London for a Christmas special, the series concludes with several episodes set during the Great War. The new Edmund is a career Army officer, but a scoundrel all the same. Shirking his duties whenever possible and taking advantage of any opportunity for undeserved reward, this final, deeply sour, and very funny Blackadder negotiates survival among a cadre of fools and dimwits. No small mention can be made of Atkinson's supporting cast, easily among the finest comic performers of their generation: besides Laurie and Richardson, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, and Tim McInnerny. --Tom Keogh

Here's a place with some awesome fashions:

Shrine of Hollywood
(https://shrinestore.com/store/catalog/)

Not only are the fashions good-looking, but they're made to pro costume quality. They're very, very well made and last a long time.

This is the coat I'd love to get:

That jacket rocks! Not much on the shoes though.

I'm with ya on that. I hate those. But those jackets with a ruffled shirt, black velvet jeans and Italian loafers are my preferred "dress up to go out" apparel.

[WØTKX]

Herman Munster shoes...

[kc7jty]

No.
What the hell kind o' Catholic are you?

Black Adder is like Jonathan Winters. Can be not so good with regularity, but when firing on all fear for your sanity and aching sides.

[WØTKX]

I'm Catholic too... :monkeydance:
