  1. APC Rescues are NOT baggy at all..

    Trust me I'm wearing them now, they are so tight it hurts and it's just not my look.

    I should have held out to find a pair of English..

    These things better stretch out ...a lot.

  2. Theres this great antique, odds-ends, collectibles and quirky old stuff store right off Market St. on 3rd. (North side)...it's about 4-5 doors in on the left. Off-Beat Antiques is the name.

  3. More on the meaning of "Name of War"

    Pseudonyms are adopted by resistance fighters, terrorists and guerrillas for various reasons: to make enquiries more difficult, to seek and create an aura of mystery, to protect their families from reprisal, etc. The expression nom de guerre ("name of war") is often used for such pseudonyms (though this expression is rarely, if ever, actually used in French). It is occasionally used as a stylish substitute for nom de plume.

    Noms de guerre were frequently adopted by recruits in the French Foreign Legion as part of the break with their past lives. Pseudonyms used by some members of the French resistance were integrated into their last names after World War II; for instance, Jacques Delmas, alias Chaban, became Jacques Chaban-Delmas.

    Within Communist parties and Trotskyist organisations nom de guerres are usually known as party names. This took hold not only because revolutionaries were often persecuted by states, but also in the case of Trotskyists, by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

    Some of the more famous noms de guerre include:

    * Che Guevara

    * Mata Hari

    * Carlos the Jackal

    Some famous party names include:

    * Freddy Forrest (Raya Dunayevskaya) and Johnston CLR James
