I don't use words like epic, as it is used so much that it has weakened the meaning of the word -- especially when it is used in unepic ways.

But if I did use the word epic, I would think about using it on said globe. I seriously want one. I want to make a classy mancave one day. More like an old gentleman's lounge than anything. You know, rich mahogany and leatherbound books? This would work perfectly.

well, right... epic in the jack london i-sail-over-dangerous-seas-and-have-adventures sense, in the i-have-a-map-of-the-world-and-speak-seven-different-languages sense, as in the hey-who-wants-to-see-my-collection-of-ancient-artifacts-over-cigars-and-scotch sense.

my wife and i just got a two-bedroom apartment... she's letting me convert the second room into a study. so far i've got an awesome mahogany desk with an old-world map inlaid in hardened leather on the surface, a bunch of maps and three bookcases, and cool stuff from around the world. this globe is the obvious next step to sophisticated mancave nirvana.

good find. not sure i like that one though, the surface is much darker... i like the tone of the original one. i'll have to do some more digging around. either way i'm surprised they're that inexpensive... they look absolutely gorgeous

Now you've got me seriously looking for one of these! I think they're awesome, and I'd love to have a study like yours (or like you will eventually have).

I don't think I can pull the trigger even at $120, but I'm now looking at this little guy:

Edit: It won't fit a full-sized 750 mL bottle with the top down. Scratch that.

$46? under fifty for the same basic thing, and you can always just get smaller bottles of whatever you're looking for to fit inside it. beats the hell out of your kitchen cabinet and it's a classy start to your study...

Well, that's a good point. And I'd be storing whiskey in it anyway, which often comes in shorter bottles (and if not, maybe I could transfer to a shorter decanter). I keep my wine and beer elsewhere, but I usually don't have more than a couple bottles of whiskey on hand (as I'm just getting into it).

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
