A) George Smith Patton is correct !!! You win a fun filled evening at the Motel 6 in Bayonne, NJ.
Now, for the grand prize, of a beverage of your choice at the world famous Gorilla Bar in Spar' ... kling downtown Ensenada, Mexico, who (or rather what) is B).

Anyone know where that original painting is?
I work at a library in the town Patton was born and there is a portrait of that just sitting in our basement, but I never bothered to check if that was the original; probably not.
I guess I could always find out tomorrow.

Is that an unusual angle shot of socko from the Subsim forum?
Can I have ice in my beverage?
BTW:

Why do you have a portrait of a library in your basement?

I think the original is in the National Portrait Gallery.
And Dixie, I wasn't picking on you, it's just that you thought that was your best feature on the Pix of Us thread. Apologies if it didn't come out that way.
Ciao. John

Thanks, you are indeed right. The link to this particular portait:

The library in San Marino, California has a copy in the basement. I went to take a look at it today and it does appear to be a copy.
My new goal is to somehow get this displayed in the library once again. [:D]
