My 'old & new'. That old Bowers trench lighter works just as good now as it did waaaay back in World War II. It's a genuine veteran, too, grandpappydigr carried it Over There.

Great old lighter and nice photo gravdigr. I think you're shot is so clear it's almost 3D like.

oh and haha on that family guy clip.

So I have 2 new photos. I know they are not clear.It is sharpened to the max but it didn't help much.
My cell phone isn't that great anyway but for inside photos it's almost frustrating if I didn't think it was so much fun.

TheMercenary · 12-04-2009, 10:06 PM

Yea, I got on a long work string and then the holidays combined with a car wreck took up most of my time. I will try to get in on the next round.

monster · 12-04-2009, 10:37 PM

Two polls done. i have to be up a stupid O'clock tomorrow for swim champs, but I'll try to do the last three before I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tulip · 12-04-2009, 11:04 PM

Gravdigr: That old lighter is really cool looking. I like it! Betcha it would look really nice if you could polish it up. By the way, do you collect Zippo lighters, Gravdigr?

Gravdigr · 12-06-2009, 04:31 PM

Yeah, Tulip, I do collect Zippos! I got started collecting those super-cheap, plastic novelty lighters. As far as 'polishing up' the old trench lighter, not a chance. I like the old-and-used-but-still-going-strong look. I look at it like antique furniture, most of the time, refinishing/shining-up is the worst thing you could do.

Tulip · 12-06-2009, 05:07 PM

Yes, you are right about the lighter. Its "old-and-used-but-still-going-strong" beauty caught my eye.

Anyways, I would LOVE to see your Zippos colllection.

I have a small one myself, hihi. If you show me yours, I'll show you mine.

monster · 12-16-2009, 07:04 PM

So the results are in.

1) Old and New WINNER: Glatt
2) Weather WINNER: monster
3) Eye WINNER: Glatt
4) Ugly WINNER: Glatt
5) Streaming WINNER: Glatt

WTG Glatt! If you want, you have the dubious honor of choosing the next 5 "topics"

I suggest entries should be posted by December 27th, and then we'll vote

Thanks for bailing me out on the polls....
