“God-damn, I’m the stuff men are made of!” —John Wayne
Happy birthday, Duke…
Some of my favorite posters for John Wayne’s earliest films. I’ve got dozens of his 1930’s movies on dvd, and dug them up today for the first time in months.
“I play John Wayne in every picture regardless of the character, and I’ve been doing all right, haven’t I?” John Wayne.
Feliz cumpleaños Duke
Sin conocer la estocada… o el estoicismo… sino lo estocástico…
Happy Birthday, John Wayne! “I don’t act … I react.”
Happy Birthday, John Wayne!!
I’m a progressive thinker, even though I’m not in the liberal strain.
Happy Birthday, John Wayne!!
“Talk low, talk slow and don’t talk too much”.
Happy Birthday, John Wayne.
“I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.”

The exquisite art of the samurai sword? Don’t make me laugh! You’re so-called exquisite art is only fit for Japanese fatheads! —Pai Mei
As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children’s voices.
Una unidad de pensamiento en acción…
Mandé a mi perro Trabuco
al monte a cazar un día,
me dijo que no podía
caminar por lo’ bejuco.
Oye perro yo te busco
un monte firme y un llano
mas Melón que no es por eso
que tú te comes las masas
y a mí me dejes los huesos…
Don’t you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we’re left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.

“All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.” —Babe Ruth
You wake up one morning and say “World, I know you! From now on there are no more surprises!”.—Jill

Can a Solar Eclipse Really Make You Blind?
With the upcoming annular solar eclipse, many are looking for safe sun observing tips. One of the most important tips given is do NOT look directly at the sun (both during the solar eclipse and in general). The reasons as to why are pretty obvious, but can a solar eclipse really blind you? Short answer: Maybe.
The condition is called solar retinopathy, and it occurs when bright light from the sun floods the retina on the back of the eyeball. The retina is home to the light-sensing cells that make vision possible. When they’re over-stimulated by sunlight, they release a flood of communication chemicals that can damage the retina. This damage is often painless, so people don’t realize what they’re doing to their vision.
Most people can only stare at the sun for a short period of time before feeling pain or turning away. However, during the solar eclipse, the sun will be partially covered, making it more “comfortable to stare, and protective reflexes like blinking and pupil contraction are a lot less likely to kick in than on a normal day.” Although a study done in 1999 showed that most people with eclipse retinopathy were not totally blinded, further research suggests that “a lot of the damage may heal, [while] some may be permanent.”
If you’d like to see some more tips, Space.com has a great infographic with more details on how to safely enjoy the solar eclipse.
tl;dr: Don’t stare at the sun.
