shame on you philadelphia!!!!

I watched this last night on Netflix and was literally
yelling at the screen.
Embarrassing, disgusting and sad....
Like the world needed another reason to hate Philly.
(Sorry Andy!)
Watch it.

this changed my life....

I walked into my parents bedroom

one Saturday Night

and saw this.... 

Everything changed.

No shit.
(When "ad skip" starts flashing, hit that, or just wait
7 seconds like we used to do in 1979....)

some tables

Carl Auböck

Vienna

Man,

I'm kinda in a funk right now.

I just discovered that tables aren't as sexy as chairs.

For some reason I had always thought they were.

But after digging through some old 

books from 

"Boot Island"

(Italy)

printed during the sexiest time ever 

for furniture design,

the 1950s,

(in my opinion)

I have decided that I was wrong all these years, 

and that chairs are 

way sexier.

Maybe the rest of y'all already knew that.

Thanks for keeping it a secret!
