Stashed some of my HI collection in an old travel trunk 2-3 years ago and got them out the other day to check how they were holding up - aside from a bit of tarnishing, they are as good as the day I got them from Uncle Bill. No dessicant or cosmoline or other special attention was given to them prior to storage. Yet another reason why HI is good quality product! :cool:
 
Heathen!
What are you doing stashing a fine tool like that in a trunk for over two years for? In cold wet Canada no less!!


:D :D

Bust em out where you can enjoy them!! :p

Not a Heathen Shappa.:rolleyes: That is what you call "Controlled Testing" or if you're a certain Duck, "Research.":p :D ;)
 
Carol Doda is a testament to the chest. I'll give you a link, but you'll have to search for it yourself inside the link. Notorious SF


( Hint: click on the "Notorious SF" heading at the top of the page, and then look for Condor Club. Click on links inside the story to bring up pix of Doda, the piano of death, and the bronze plaque memorializing it as the nation's first topless and then bottomless bar. It is now the Condor Sports Bar. )
 
I hadn't thought of her in years...the good old days of unlimited direct silicon injections... :eek:
 
I have this image in my mind of her funeral service...

and all six pallbearers sitting on the casket to get it closed!





:D :D :D

Well I did something I don't normally do under such circumstances but this time I was just too curious not too so I did as Rusty said above and followed the links he suggested.:)
Ms Doda didn't have anything on my 2nd wife, she was a 38 to 38+ "G" and skinny as a rail everywhere else but she had nothing on my Great Aunt Myrtle even if she did have to have custom made bras.:rolleyes:
My Great Aunt Myrtle was a big but not gross Cherokee gal that had a chest you Would Not believe!!!!:eek: :D Aunt Myrtle might have worn a bra when she was younger but since she was my grandmother's sister I doubt that she ever did, even if she could have found them in her size.
I learned a year or so ago that my grandmother never wore underwear and everyone knew that Aunt Myrtle didn't, seems that the old Cherokee girls didn't like anything that was binding, and Aunt Myrtle wasn't what anyone considered modest at all.
When everyone gathered in my grandpa and grandma's huge kitchen Aunt Myrtle would set in the old straight backed kitchen chairs and never bothered to keep herself in any degree or modicum of what is considered decent.
Aunt Myrtle was a great source of embarrassment to young men just entering puberty and beyond if they weren't used to her strange custom's.;)
Her innocent actions even bothered me for a time, but once you've seen something a few times it just becomes part of the scenery and is hardly noticed at all.:rolleyes: :p
I will always miss my Aunt Myrtle, may the Gods rest her soul and her star journey be all she dreamed it could be.
She had a heart as big as everything else she had and often rolled my Prince Albert cigarettes before I finally learned to do it for myself. We had many a long talk and she really helped me through some rough periods of my life.
Aunt Myrtle buried about 8 husbands I think, I know it was a lot.
She loved her men and was as good and faithful a woman as any man could ever ask for.
I could really tell some stories about my Aunt Myrtle and one of my cuz's husband that wasn't used to her and her unmodest ways.
I can still turn Leroy red just by mentioning her name!:D ;)
 
I happened to be in SFO when Carol made her debut. I think the name of the place was the Condor Club.
