My Daguerreotype Boyfriend Ever wonder if Teddy Roosevelt was a smokin’ hottie back in the day? What about Gustav Mahler? Want to spend hours discussing whether or not Hermann Rorschach looks like Brad Pitt? My Daguerreotype Boyfriend has got you covered. This website, “where early photography meets extreme hotness,” is a tumblr site filled with historical portraits and pages and pages of dapper young men from the days when a man could rock a shawl-neck cardigan or a cravat and still look like a total bad-ass doing so. Well-groomed dandies not quite your thing? Don’t worry, My Daguerreotype Boyfriend still has you covered. If you like the “bad boys,” the site also features quite a few mug shots tucked away amongst the professional portraits. Not only can you peruse hundreds of photos from the 19th and early 20th centuries, but you can submit pictures of your own. So, if you want to show off the old family photos and don’t mind women ogling your handsome granddad or great-granddad, get to scanning and submitting!
It’s spelled, ”satan,” not satin.
it’s funny how the national has all the technology in the world and the after round interviews are done in something that looks like a 70’s soap opera. OK Metro Spirit, show us the ads and cuisine review of everything Mexican before Cinco de Mayo! I need to plan my feasts as well as siestas. I still think Tiger’s gonna win it! OK, let’s look out for April 25, National Red Hat Day. If you see a lady in red hat with purple and red outfit waving the wildly ribboned cane, get out of her way but wish her well! Short shorts and stripper heels on the most prestigious golf course in the world. So Augusta, how much did we make off of all those ticket scalpers? $500 each, right? Hope they fund the sheriff’s dept. for more stings. I’ve seen better looking bowling shoes than those girls on Washington Road handing our flyers. Come on people. We have better talent than that at the Rub It In Lounge. Great article on Doug Sanders this week. Poor Tiger. He is in the wrong era. I don’t have time to protest for what I believe in. I have to work. Cudos to the new ownership of the metro spirit .. You seem to be taking your paper in some new directions and I think it is great... However on the opposing views angle.. You would be better of paying for a couple of

syndicated hacks rather than Ruffin and Austin Loads who write on a junior high level! Just my thoughts.
Hello. I’m the first atheist poster in this exchange. I just wanted to say that atheists do not have a Pavlovian reaction to mention of imaginary supernatural figures such as Satan (I assume you just misspelled that as Satin). We aren’t insulted by being compared to something that does not exist. You sound very angry yourself but we really don’t mean believers any harm. We just want to enjoy the freedom we have in this country. Halliburton- The company that war profiteered off the Iraq War, then brought us the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, now brings to us.........yes you guessed it, FRACKING! Jebus, we’re really screwed now! dancing with the stars has got to be the worst show on television. if you watch it you are a sad a** clown. Centuries ago the Chinese decided to enslave their own people for fear that bringing in outsiders would cause problems in the future. If you’d teach your punk-a** kids how to act there’d be a lot less trouble. Austin, Austin, Austin, you just cannot comment rationally on things where race is involved. Your opinions on the Martin case were so pitiful I had to

stop after the first few sentences. Thank goodness for Josh Ruffin’s sensible words that acknowledged you can’t judge a person by the cover of their clothes as well as not their looks. When people followed me around after 9-1-1, I made sure to turn around to demand to know why they were following me. If I ever see a weapon flashed by someone questioning me who was not a law enforcement officer, I will make moves to disarm and maybe even disleg that person! To the church group who claimed they would have bought eats and stuff if they were permitted to have an egg hunt at the mall: Are you crazed? I know as a business owner if you said you wanted to hide something among my goods and expect me to welcome anyone to just toss my stuff around at will multiple times of the day for such a hunt, I would flat out say NO WAY. Stores are not meant to be playgrounds for running kids! why is it the only people who get tipped masters week are serving drinks? what about the rest of us doing twice the work? Aahh masters week is here ... The one week a year I dont need to order cheese on my burger... Ii just turn on the local tv news or am radio and I receive all the cheese. I can stand! I sure miss the rat boy (my pet name no diss) who was so good with his weather predictions.. I do wish him luck with his new endeavor .. I think he is a great guy .... My real question is when will his replacement go through puberty ... I can’t get used to his school boy voice... I always lose my 26 dollar bet over what word his voice will break on .. Heard 1,359.001 times Friday: “with the wind and sun, the greens are going to be hard and super fast this weekend” or some variation thereof. Saturday, I heard too many announcers than I care to remember say “if you would have told so and so this morning he was going to do so and so, he would have told you you were crazy”. Hey Happy National Library Week! Let’s be thankful for our libraries for all the information they house and/ or help to find. Also, be grateful to the nice people who work there to help us askers with our questions. And mainly for me, to have these computers for public use! V. 23 | NO. 15
