All the above items were once hidden on board real space launches. Cigarettes and Cutty Sark scotch were hidden behind the instrument panel of the Sigma 7 spacecraft, and that’s how lunatic these adventurers were. What sane-thinking individual would say, “This electronic system is vital to my survival, so I’ll shove a bottle of liquid in there!” Our favorite bit is how the cigarettes are now up for auction (as smoking in a sealed space capsule is even more suicidal than smoking normally is) — but the scotch is nowhere to be seen (via How Astronauts Prank Each Other | ZUG

Whatever floats my boat...
Come on in and make yourself comfortable. The paths I follow sometimes tend to be non-linear and diverge into other altogether different places. I'm still not sure if this is a pop culture blog with art, or a historical one with nature or really what it is. In my mind it somehow works. I will tell you however that I do hate the dull, predictable, and the common...and if we share that as a common ground, then we'll have some fun.
That being said, many of these posts are photos that I have acquired over the years. When possible I will post credits or re-blog them if from another point of origin. If there is something of yours that needs to be credited or removed, I will be happy to do so if it is your creation or copyright. Otherwise, please just let me spread the love.
I am also a guest blogger on the super "Fuck Yeah Lou Reed" page here on tumblr. There I'll be putting up the odd live/rare/unheard Lou tracks, as well as whatever cool photos-videos-and of course anecdotes that I may have. So do come on by.
