So as many of you know, I'm a dilettante hobbyist homebrewer, who makes 10 or 15 gallons of beer a year. I've recently ordered a couple custom-made wooden crates for my 24 1-liter swingtop bottle, since the original cardboard cartons are no longer up to the task of lugging around 3.5 gallons of beer+several pounds of glass each. One service this fellow offers is laser-burning a logo on the side of the crates. Well, I didn't have a logo, but add one family myth and one bad joke to a copy of GIMP, and before you know it, I had this:
The family myth? Well, the actor who played the character above -- Count Orlok in Nosferatu, the very first vampire movie, for those who don't recognize him -- was named Max Schreck. Same pronunciation as my last name, and family folklore holds that he's a distant uncle or cousin of some sort.
