Grenade Boy – The Rest of the Story
I was looking through some archives and found the “Grenade Boy” series from a post a while back. Here are the contact sheets from that shoot, it really shows you how one picture taken out of context can change the whole ideal.
Amber Room
Quite a history to this. The original was a gift from the Prussian king to Peter the Great in the early 18th century; survived all kinds of upheavals until the Nazis invaded, removed & packed up the wall panels & sent them back to Germany, where they were reportedly destroyed in the bombing of Königsberg…BUT there are so many conflicting reports about this and clues as to its “true” whereabouts (and there are just way too many links to begin to list here) that a cottage industry of Amber Room hunters has sprouted up over the last several decades. One thing of note: the piece of art you see in the second pic is from the original room. It was recovered from the family of a former Nazi and this, more than anything, fuels speculation that the original panels are still out there, waiting to be found.
At some point the Russians gave up trying to find it and began a restoration project in the 80s that more or less succeeded in recreating the room by 2003.
I always thought it would make a great Indiana Jones movie, “The Curse of the Amber Room”, where if you found it, recreated it & stood in a certain spot you could…I dunno…read minds or see the future or something…AT THE COST OF YOUR SOOOOOUUUUULLLL…

Or is it?
to improve his stamina
A doctor told Mrs. Stone to give her husband one pill a day and one drink of whiskey to improve his stamina. A month later, when Mrs. Stone came in for another visit, the doctor asked, ‘How are we doing with the pill and the whiskey?â€Mrs. Stone answered, ‘Well, he’s a little behind with the pills, but he’s about six months ahead with the whiskey.â€

Top Gun Aviators (don’t work)
From: www.80stees.com/products/Top-Gun-Aviator-Glasses-Maverick-Goose-Iceman.asp
These Top Gun Aviator Sunglasses are reminiscent of the mirrored sunglasses worn by Maverick and Goose in the 1986 classic. When Maverick had on his shades, he could get any girl he wanted. Put these on and the results should be the same for you.
The club is called La Vela, the dance is called the Egyptian, the results were sleeping alone awaking hungover with a kick-ass pair of shades on.
