The Neverending "CONNECT THE PICTURE" game

The mightly warrior Rustom (I named my son after him) and his steed Raksh

how'd you like to meet this fellow in a dark alley ?
he is BARBAROSSA (german : KAISER ROTBART - EMPOROR REDBEARD)
who led one of the crusades to the holy land - no wonder the muslims are still scared of us .

Just found out that Dali and Disney have a great deal in common.

a TRUE dali , i must say ! a red cross in a white square !

"man in coffeehouse" by GRIS - 1914 ; must have spilled the coffee !

hbg, you're funny. It was a black and white of Dali with that handlebar mustachio viewing with surprise, a raven on his shoulder.

Ah, your painting speaks to me. Does this one talk to you?

Jackson Pollock

Some day we'll find it, the picture connection.

german INFLATION bank note
--------------------------------------
issued at a value of 1,000 mark in december 1922 , it was shortly thereafter overprinted
with "1 millard marks " !
the bank note company couldn't keep up with printing new money and started to overprint notes !
on dec 1 , 1923 it was finally over . the german currency was revalued and some sanity came back to the financial system .
as kids we had stacks of this "inflation" money that we used as "playmoney" since it had become worthless .
hbg

it's a good idea to keep a few of these in your (reinforced) pocket !
canada's 100 kilogram , $ 923,000 goldcoin .
i'll have some made to order !

Million dollar baby

i'll start with a one ounce "gold maple leaf" and work my way up ... one maple leaf at a time !
there are a lot of maple leaves on our lawn - might they be gold :wink:
