Illinois Central R.R., freight cars in South Water Street freight terminal, Chicago, Ill. (LOC), originally uploaded by The Library of Congress.
What a beautiful photo. If I ever own a bar, a big print of this is going over the bar.
You can snag a high res tiff from the library of congress here. It’s 7829×6081pixels, making it high rez enough to print posters and shit. Best of all it’s public domain for US citizens, since it’s a government document!
I’m shocked and dismayed at you goddamn republicans, you tried to turn my girls with glasses fetish into something dirty and wrong.
What’s next, my Mrs. Robinson fetish?
OH, SHIT.
SERIOUSLY FUCK YOU.
(that said, I’d still hatefuck Sarah Palin. Anal only, though.)
A very good warning in the case of Bascule.
Stone has been releasing a series of beers which culminates in the year 2012. The beer is released on a day such that the day, month, and year are all the same, so this year’s is 8-8-08. The last beer will be released on December 12, 2012, which as we all know is exactly 9 days before the end of the Mayan Calendar and thus the entire universe. Drink ‘em while you got ‘em! Stone intends for you to age all the verticals until 12-12-12 then open them all at once in an enormous beer orgy they’ve dubbed a “vertical tasting”.
That said I’m drinking one now. Yay.
8-8-08 is quite the absurd beer. Like the other verticals I’ve sampled so far, it’s has a hazy golden hue and the sweet yet boozy smell of a Tripel. The flavor hits you like an IPA and a Tripel at the same time. It’s got the sweet boozy flavor of a Tripel mixed with the intense hops of an IPA. I can’t wait to taste this stuff when it’s been aged 4 years. I expect the hop flavor to mellow out slightly so the classier Tripel flavor can come out a bit more. That said, drinking just one is enough to get you pretty hammered. As bottled it’s 8.6% ABV.
That said, an awesome beer.
I’m terrified of heights, and thought there was no way in hell I would actually enjoy this. Turns out I loved every second of it and will absolutely be jumping out of another plane in the near future. Las Vegas is definitely the place to jump if you’re debating it. You get a full 60 second freefall at 120mph and you can see Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River, The Strip, Valley of Fire, Redrock Canyon, Mt. Charleston, and Four States. It really is quite the experience.
Perfecting the fish takes time and practice, but can be applied to anything in your daily life. We’re even starting to see statues dedicated to fishing pop up. It certainly seems to be getting athletes far these days. This man used his fishing skills to advance in rugby, and this fine wrestler has coined his vicious fish “The Butt Drag”. Check it out.
I was first introduced to this bitch as the latest hot Joss Whedon-vetted slut on his short-lived show Firefly. She played a hedonistic assassin named Saffron who enjoyed using her sexuality as a weapon against both men and women alike. Unfortunately she met her match against the ship’s resident whore Inara.
Now she plays a secretary named Joan on the AMC series Mad Men. She’s sleeping her way to the top and continuing to vicariously exploit the redhead fetish in the roles that she plays. Her character has basically been handed a country-raised prude to shape in her own image. She proceeds to thorougly corrupt the prude and train her in the art of seducing the men in power who surround her in order to get her way.
Yeah, uhh, check out that hair. Pretty fucking crazy. The boss in Mad Men described her lips as “a dollop of strawberry jam in a glass of sweet creamy mik.” Jesus…
The coolest Scientologist ever! The man made some very memorable music in the 70s, winning an Oscar for his theme to the movie Shaft and went on to act in his own awesome blaxploitation movie, Truck Turner! His first two albums, Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses are both excellent records that anyone who has more than a passing interest in 70s soul and funk should own. He was awesome as the Duke of New York in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York. His version of “Walk on By” is one of the funkiest songs ever. The man accomplished a lot in his life.
Oh and he was on some poorly animated cartoon for a while. I think he played a chef.
Freak out to the trailer for Truck Turner:
And treat your ears to “Walk on By”:
