Lawrence of Arabia by Graham Rye












I don't know how or why watching Lawrence of Arabia on New Year's Eve became a tradition- but it has, and I'm glad.



I'm really saddened that Uncle Harry died, but...






Dr. Harold Carr, an orthopedic surgeon in England, was a recluse in his later years, according to relatives. He never married or had children. So when the doctor died in 2007 at the age of 89, few knew what to expect inside his dusty garage. The last thing Dr. Carr’s relatives expected to find was one of the rarest cars in the world, a 1937 Bugatti 57S Atalante, which The Associated Press said was one of 17 in existence.

"If absinthe were a finish on kitchen and bath fixtures, it would be brushed nickel." - New York Times





"Absinthe Drinker" by Viktor Oliva.  I saw naked green women once, but it St. Patty's day- and I really don't want to go into that right now...





Or how about - "Absinthe - the new hookah pipe." - JP


Personally, I would like to see the picture of him measuring Kareem's inseam.
