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).

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
