Filet Mignon
Filet Mignon, originally uploaded by cote. I’ve always been fascinated by the proposition: “what would you say if I said we should take one of the more expensive pieces of meat, and wrap one of the least expensive pieces of meat around it?”

If things go so badly that the S&P 500 becomes permanently worthless, I have a hard time believing that the people who own gold will rule the world. I think it’s more likely that the people who own steel that is conveniently shaped like guns will control everything, including all of the shiny rocks. At…

Notebooks from dime novels
Notebooks from old books, originally uploaded by cote. Check out these blank books made with covers of old, lurid and cheesy paperbacks.

The Brunching Shuttlecocks Dungeons Dragons & To be honest, the plot makes as much sense as the rules involving the consumption of Iron Rations. I have no idea why they made a D&D movie with such a lofty “let’s save the little people” plot. Most D&D games I can remember playing involved going into the…
