More Old photos

This site turned into a real time sink for me:

http://www.shorpy.com/

I found it while reading this article on photos of old time car crashes:

Page 600? I'd call that a time sink alright!
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Hey, I need something to keep me busy while I'm sitting in the rockin' chair!  :laugh:

Well, I just lost a couple of hours.  And I plan to lose some more after the days' chores are done.

Thanks, Ben!   =)
