Cigarette Cards
Don’t you wish that smokes still came with these amazing caricature cards?

Horses, Brews, and Caps.
It’s Derby Saturday. And instead of spending all morning reviewing records, reading expert picks, drinking Mint Juleps, and placing some big time bets via simulcast gambling with Red’s roommate—I’ll be heading into the office to fine tune the catalog. I’m not mad at it but, I hope I can get in and out before the ponies hit the track. Everyone knows I break late.
“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.” Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.” – Jack Handy
A great collection of throw back beer adverts. Just a head’s up though, I couldn’t get it to go past the first page. Here are some of the one’s that I enjoyed or chuckled at. The beer that Red and other Reds drink. Three Little Beers. The beer for Billy’s. Burger beer, it just sounds yummy. Colt 45 ‘bottoms up’. The beer they’ll be drinking it Kentucky today. Nationally preferred. Just a great ad. The Real Gusto. Drinking and driving. Goebel. Guinness is good for you. It’s OK. Alaskan ice cream.

Sweet As A Peach
While doing some more research on peach-crate labels, I came across this wonderful crop. Good stuff.
Presidential Faces
How important is a presidential candidate’s choice of campaign font? Could the choice be important enough that it could make or break the campaign? Since we are down to three choices for the next inhabitant of an office with no corners, here are a few links to articles about a candidate and their font—Mr. Obama, J. McCain, & Mrs. Bill Clinton.
That’s about as political as I’ll get around here and since it’s technically about design, the previous post is as political as it will get around here.
Likes to Party All the Time…
As I was searching for some information on another post I’m typing up, I came across this photo opt. And the very first thing that came to mind was this song…
Round About
This is one of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. Pulled from the Spring 08 issue of Intersection Magazine.

An amazing Flickr collection of Indian street graphics.
Celebration of Creation
This ain’t no joke, one year ago this lovely space of interwebs was up and created. After plenty of persuasion from the man behind Boostworthy, I finally started my own weblog on April Fool’s of oh seven. Since then, there have been a few changes including an additional column of fun content.
Plenty of links and images were passed on through the past year and I hope to bring much more. Thanks to everyone that have been coming, thanks to you for coming back for more, thanks to those who land here via image searches, and thanks to everyone that linked to all this BS. I must say, it’s been quite fun.
Back a year ago, I had planned to update the colors and header once a month for fun and just to keep things fresh around here. As time went on and carrying on with other day to day things, the time to create that empty promise ended quickly. Maybe this year, it won’t start next month, I will get back to making new headers and replace the rotating photos (even though I really like them.)
Thanks again for coming to the site.
