This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I feel like Dr. Ferguson got the better placement. When you open the matchbook, it's his name you'll be looking at. The strike strip is on his side as well.
Except the old trick with these matchbooks was to fold it back and close it over to make those paper matches easy to light, so you're ultimately looking at brown paper, and so that's how Brown Paper won the election that year.
Counterpoint, only one person sees the front of the matchbook, but when you pull out the booklet and strike that match to set the cross on fire, everyone sees the other side. Great placement for a Republican, I think.
That's a good point.
