Strange Brew by John Deering for June 10, 2024

One of these belonged to Jean La"feet".

Sgt Snorkel’s dog had an Empire?

How about that, a whole empire based on putting your feet up. (Seinfeld)

No pics of the Tick.

Don’t put your feet on the ottomans… uh, wait… nevermind.

Which one is Palestine?

Always appreciate when galleries offer some seating. That’s one nice touch at the National Gallery of Art in DC. Notably in the Impressionate Galleries.

Love when museums have fancy commodes. :)

That’s not all, it’s only a stool sample.

“Ottoman Empire” hassock cool sound to it.

The real value is in the matching couch and the stuff under the cushions.

He came looking for Turkish Taffy. :)

The lad is shaped like one of the royal footstool. Add a crush velvet hat and you’ve arrived.

I hope you’re sitting down… Hilarious!

I don’t think Dick Van D*ke likes Ottomans much.

Looks like a homage to Gary Larson’s The Far Side (and fairly well done, too.) The kid even looks like a Far Side kid.

The Ottoman Empire was known for many achievements in art, science and medicine. They invented forceps, catheters, scalpels, pincers and lancets. Then they put their feet up.

The Turks started out as Asian horse riding nomads. They knew the value of a comfy cushion at the end of a busy day of conquest.
