You can market it on eBay as a zombie pocket watch. Someone will buy it.

I carried this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years...

I'd forgotten Walken's part in "Pulp Fiction".

Outstanding find, Glatt!

I found a penny.

Those Brits were junkies before it was cool.

That jogged a memory Bruce.

When I was a kid my grandmother used to 'swear by' Dr J Collis Browne's 'Chlorodyne'. It had a fearsome odour that could cause you to lose the power of speech at a distance of several feet.
I have a vague recollection of its withdrawal from sale as the ingredients were no longer considered safe. Judge for yourselves:

Dr. John Collis Browne’s Chlorodyne was marketed as a cure for coughs, colds, asthma, migraines and bronchitis, as well as for the treatment of cholera symptoms. One of the more famous patent medicines, it was a mixture of laudanum (an alcoholic solution of opium), cannabis tincture and chloroform and was a huge hit, inspiring a series of imitators to churn out their own versions of Chlorodyne. Many of the knock-offs replaced laudanum with morphine hydrochloride and soon Chlorodyne dependence was a big problem. Over the years, the tincture of cannabis was removed from the formulation and the morphine content gradually lowered. While these days Chlorodyne is confined to the history books, in the UK you can still buy Dr J. Collis Browne’s Mixture, a cure for coughs and upset stomachs, which contains morphine and peppermint oil.

Fearsome stuff.

Well, Grandma certainly seemed more at ease with the world after a couple of spoonfuls.

Popdigr came in with this the other night:



At first, with the dark whisky coloring, I didn't know if you were supposed to pour it in ya or daub it on ya, but, after popping the top, one whiff gave me the answer.

The stuff smells so bad it'd knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.

$13 for a bottle of camphor.

The Welch have no sense of humor, outraged at travel ads.

Let's see if this works or if I failed to notice a "minimum posts before allowed to add images" rule somewhere...

You should see a fella in a suit and hat. The pictures high on the wall are athletes, because one year not too long ago for Christmas I got to go see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (who have played for like THREE in-office presidents) in a high school drama auditorium with, seriously, like 140 seats. I got third row farthest to my left--fabulous view, but no pix until after the show. Unless you REALLY hate swing/jazz, spend the money to see these guys--they were at like 18 years with the original six dudes, and they are the best.

Just about everyone everywhere hates something about where they live. For me, it's that I'm fairly scared of fire and pretty badly allergic to smoke.

This is a sunset. Behind a mountain. I shot this from the parking lot of my apartment. The big black crap in the foreground is the roof of another building, and if you look REALLY hard you might see vague hints of mountain slopes just above it.
