A 1914 advertisement by Ernest Shackleton for his Antarctic Expedition. If you haven’t heard of it, you should read about it. It was a hell of a trip.

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I don't have anything going on. Might as well sign up for that.
At least he is honest about the crap work he's going to put you through. Better than other other want ads I've read for someone looking for an artist for their personal children's book but can't afford to pay because they haven't looked into self publishing and want to sell a completely finished book to a publisher. Or the bastards who try and disguise their cheapness in psudeo-compliments. "I'm looking for someone interested in a true collaboration" or "I think a real artist should be able to create some in an hour or two."
A friend of mine made a tumblr page for bad ads like this, but I unsubscribed because it was so depressing.
That´s no work ad: that´s a challenge. Not for me, my subtropical body suffers when cold goes below 15ºC.
You wouldn't live twenty minutes inside the Arctic Circle.
The 2002 A&E movie with Kenneth Branagh is excellent.
totally agree with you. Bastards climbed TWO mountain ranges to save those guys. Unreal.
