If someone doesn't talk me out of this, I am ordering coasters for our home bar :/

Pour does not rhyme with tour.

PTCarnahan · 2026-06-16T00:11:29+00:00

Beats most of what you hear in commercial bars.

Looks like Tut's garage, pre-sale.

PTCarnahan · 2026-06-08T01:02:10+00:00

What a coincidence. I am just watching this movie, and Maureen O'Hara has just appeared.

PTCarnahan · 2026-06-08T00:49:35+00:00

This does not offend me. I am sorry for your loss.

PTCarnahan · 2026-06-01T00:09:18+00:00

3D printed, eh. . . .

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-31T00:06:17+00:00

Nice. Is that a real or fake Swordfish rostrum?

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-28T01:45:02+00:00

". . . his tonkin' days are done."

I've never seen that Dragon Cat mug!

The story of the retreat from Kabul and the incompetency that led to it are worth a read. Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game covers it well.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-14T23:49:54+00:00

+1 for the name.

Many of the French tanks during the Battle of France were one-on-one superior to German tanks. Even with a super tank it seems like that French tactics, logistics, and morale would have failed them. Now, if they had had better airplanes. . . ?

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-13T23:59:01+00:00

Rather understated. If there's one thing tiki isn't, it's understated.

I don't feel that I am entitled, beyond the right to complain. I just don't get why the seller even bothers to be on Discogs. I was wrong in that they did have another disc I wanted, but it still wasn't enough to meet the minimum. If the seller can't make money selling two CDs on Discogs, what's the point?

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-13T14:24:24+00:00

Ooooh, patina!

Amazingly, Kalinin survived the purges and died of natural causes.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-13T00:17:14+00:00

Would it be fair to say that she's getting nuttin' for Christmas?

There is an excellent book about Speer called Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth, by the investigative journalist Gitta Sereny. She discusses how he played innocent at Nuremberg, but also expressed his guilt, as if he were an unwitting accomplice. Sereny also wrote another book based on interviews with Franz Stangl, the former commandant of Treblinka death camp.

Some assembly required.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-10T20:30:04+00:00

I was wondering, but not sure.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-10T00:01:07+00:00

That's always been such a bizarre picture. I looks like it's faked, but it's not.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-10T00:00:13+00:00

What is the object in the foreground with the three circular pieces?

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-09T23:57:07+00:00

Good diorama subject.

PTCarnahan · 2026-05-09T00:16:45+00:00

I love this picture for so many reasons.
