Dr. Ben Carson is not the only person, president, or presidential candidate to misquote a founding father. Thanks to the advent of the Internet (and Photoshop) it’s WAY easy to attribute quotes incorrectly. John Oliver and the staff of HBO‘s Last Week Tonight decided to take matters into their own hands when they set up a website called DefinitelyRealQuotes.com that let’s users generate a random, semi-legitimate-sounding quote and share it. Below are a few I got. Try your hand here.

#PADDLE 8: VINTAGE POSTER ART FROM CHINATOWN TO CIAO, MANHATTAN
Normally, I would encourage people to buy original art, not posters but these all have great “wall appeal”. (I still miss my Warhol Trash poster, not the one here, a better one. I gave it to my ex. I think I want it back, the poster, that is.) Well, here’s a curated selection of iconic posters on Paddle 8, priced from a just a couple hundred – $200 starting bid on the I Shot Andy Warhol to $11,500 for Dr. No. Here’s a tip; framing MAKES the piece. Don’t cheap out. Have it floated in a 1″ deep painted black or white wooden frame. It’s looks SO much better than using a mat or smashing it under plexiglass. Don’t use glass. The Paddle 8 auction ends Tuesday, January 20. You can go here to here to bid and/or see more great examples.
