  2. This is hilarious.

    What's the poster supposed to be depicting? What're the guys in the background doing?

    Hope Saga, Inc. decides to serve that soup this week. Wow can you even imagine?

  3. Those Woolboros make me want to take up knitting.

    Also, I love that Swiss Absinth Abolition poster. I'm tempted to find a copy for my room.

  4. A note, you can buy "woolboros" and other knit smokes here: http://www.cardigan.ltd.uk/collection-index.php?co=Soft%20Smokes&s1=3

    Be forewarned, coolness comes at a steep price.

  5. Oh, the absinthe poster? Obviously a swiss priest has killed the "Green fairy" and saved mankind from dooooooom.

    The dates are swiss victory dates. The establishment of the House of Habsburg maybe, and then 1910, when absinthe was no more.
