Slicketts Suave Stylistic Soundbites RSS

I love baseball,comedy, politics, history, women, my friends, and traveling. Not necessarily in that order. I intend to live forever or to die in the attempt.

My name is Ryan, I have been called Slicketts or Chachi.

This is Victor Noir. He was a journalist killed in a duel by Napoleon III in 1870 at the age of 21. He now lies in Paris’ Père Lachaise cemetery.
From Wikipedia: “The sculpture has a very noticeable protuberance in Noir’s trousers.  This has made it one of the most popular memorials for women to visit in  the famous cemetery. Myth says that placing a flower in the upturned  top hat after kissing the statue on the lips and rubbing its genital  area will enhance fertility,  bring a blissful sex life, or, in some versions, a husband within the  year. As a result of the legend, those particular components of the  oxidized bronze statue are rather well-worn.”
