Full of Eastern Promise

Since this is Post No. 1,001 here on the Barstool...... well, I couldn't resist a gratuitous little Arabian Nights reference (just as I couldn't when Froogville passed this milestone 8 months back).

The title reference, of course, is taken from a long-running British TV advert; this example from the 1970s is one of the classics of the series, playing on the exoticism/eroticism of the Arab world most famously exploited in the Rudolf Valentino vehicle The Sheik.
