    Well that may be true, but once the Kaiser had grown it he thought he was the cat's whiskers and sacked Bismark, the German chancellor who stood in the way of his imperial ambitions, and challenged the might of the British Empire. This led on to WW1 at the end of which millions were dead and the balance of power had shifted from Europe to the USA.
    Now if instead of wearing that moustache he had worn a pair of blue suede brothel creepers and gone around strumming a guitar and warbling like Elvis he would have been comitted to a lunatic asylum and none of that would have happened.

    Another Spike Jones fan! It truly is a small world.
    I had posted a couple of his pieces here and there on the Forums. I was subjected to this as a young lad growing up along with many other forms of unusual "music".

    He was at the beginning, but was then diverted to Hawaii to see the King…

    While listening to…

    OK I admit it. It's that hat that does it and the other women at the bar were pretty good too. Why don't women look like that any more? These days they are more likely to look like the three at the end.
    Not to be sexist, that also goes for men then as compared to now.

    I think it has to do with loosening mores and the decline of civility.



    (So the first chick in the hat right? The second one is nice also but I think I can pull off the first better)
