Pretty visionary to have a @ in the 50s

I had to look that up, too - but the history of that particular sign is a little broader than you'd expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_sign

@Daniel-San @tody wow thats a lot of information on “@“ ! I like the document from 1345 that had it. Damn, the fact I knew what “@“ meant before the digital revolution is making me feel old.

[mclaincausey]

Where y@? Is common enough in my life that I am well-familiar with it. Pretty awesome that it dates back to the 14th century!

Something new (to me) is coming my way…

[SKT]

That hanger looks naked

[Matt]

Not for long homie.

[tody]

I need that 107 in my life...

[Matt]

It’s a gem for sure.

I’m a sucker for a chambray shirt. Picked up this workshirt at a vintage market today. Not sure when they stopped putting the tag on the front but I like it. I own the western version and been eyeing this one for a bit now. Gently worn and a good price.

[Matt]

I believe that tag was sometime around the 10 yr forum anni but I could be wrong. Excellent score!

[Matt]

Or maybe the regular 10 year anni. They say memory is the 2nd thing to go.

[Anesthetist]

Around 2012/2013 i think

[indigogera]

@Matt eyesight might be up there in things to go. I completely missed reading 10th Anniversary on the tag. Haha

As an aside, what an absolutely brilliant tag-line.....

[tody]

yup, that is good comparison. always wanted to try Kroil, as it supposedly has superior penetrating characteristics. bummer you can't get the aerosol cans in Europe. I use heat most of the time in the garage, though.

[Giles]

Yeah, heat not an option with lots of GRP about

One of the artists I collect (Peter Manion) kindly gifted me with these two. I’m trying to decide whether to mount them together or frame seperately.

More of his pieces for reference:

[SKT]

@Anesthetist Very cool. And I like the pieces you already have.

[Giles]

I may be too simple for conundrums of this magnitude, But I would only separate them if "terrible:" was the last word of the first part. Then they can stand alone as two separate messages.....

[sabergirl]

I kind of like how disjointed it is if you separate. Like “I’m going to tell you a story of something. Really.”

Then comes “Terrible. But first let me get a drink and a smoke.”

If they’re next to each other it can be a unified story. Or not. Gives flexibility.
