I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like "Hot Link", "Hot Linx" etc etc... for your little descriptions or whatever for the wrongfully reposted pictures. I myself do not have links, nor am I an owner of bandwidth or a hoster of photos, but I feel sensitivity for people with insufficient servers as I am often too cheap to own something that works properly.. Although I'm pretty sure are not even real problems in the 21 century, obviously back in ye olden days they caused much lamentations and gnashing of teeth, as expensive machinery crashed and burned across the fruited plain. It appears that this is looked at in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who used to wait several minutes for a pixelated picture of a German porn only to have the server tank and the modem make a hideous screeching noise. It just dosen't seem right to me, thats all. I know that it's not my message board, and that noone forces me to post here, but all the same, some things are wrong when they really don't need to be.
I don't know what I was doing over the last 24 hours to miss this Wally.
This is beautiful, but the work of an apprentice. A number of red flags give it away; most notably the cruel mixture of old type with new. Easily explained by the lack of available type-sets, and perfectly understandable for the time.
"In 78 BC a band of Cilician pirates attacked a merchant galley bound for Rhodes. One of the passengers was a young Roman named Julius Caesar, who sat and read while his fellow passengers cowered before the sea robbers. When the pirate captain named the amount of Caesar’s ransom – twenty talents (about £1,200) – Julius was offended. He deemed himself worth at least fifty talents (about £3,000). While the Cilicians waited for that amount of ransom to arrive, Caesar remained with them at Parmacusa. Payment arrived about five weeks later, and Caesar vowed to return and slay his captors. To that end he acquired the services of four galleys and 500 legionnaires to track down the Cilicians. About 350 pirates were captured, but the Roman Praetor Junius didn’t wish to upset his fragile relationship with them. Knowing Junius would release them once they paid a stiff fine, Caesar secretly seized thirty Cilicians, slit their throats, then crucified them. He also recovered the ransom money. "
78bc:
The Tabularium was the official records office of ancient Rome, and also housed the offices of many city officials. Situated within the Roman Forum, it was on the front slope of the Capitoline Hill, below the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, to the southeast of the Arx and Tarpeian Rock Within the building were the remains of the temple of Veiovis. In front of it were the Temples of Vespasian & Concord, as well as the Rostra and the rest of the forum. Presently the Tabularium is only accessible from within the Capitoline Museum, although it still affords an excellent panoramic view over the Forum Romanum. The Tabularium was first constructed around 78 BC, by order of M. Aemilius Lepidus and Q. Lutatius Catulus. It was later restored and renovated during the reign of the Emperor Claudius, about 46 AD. The building itself had a facade of peperino and travertine blocks. The interior vaults are of concrete. The facade, faced the back of the Temple of Concord in the Forum and consisted of three levels. The first story was a large and tall fortified wall with a single door and only small windows near the top to light the interior, forum level rooms. The second story featured a Doric arcade (partially preserved) and the third, no longer extant story, had a high Corinthian order colonnade.
'78 is the year of the car I tell everyone my car is when I'm trying to describe it... I will hotlink it later when appropriate.
My first car was a 1979 Honda Civic Wagon CVCC. The car pictured below is pristine, mine was Not. It cost me $250 and was a icon of jalopy hoonage that my friends nicknamed 'the blue funk'.

Actually, my 'Scooter' was the two door version, but was the same blue.
