Eric and David, thanks for your comments.  Guys, I wonder if you have to be of a certain age to get this image: smoke cigarettes and read Playboy magazine on the shitter.

I thought I should repost my vulgar image since it seems to have disappeared from my original post.

Bozzdivine, thanks for your comment.  Let me explain the mood I was trying to relate in my image.  There was maybe a two decade period of time beginning in the late 1950s through the 1970s where for a certain type of male receiving his monthly Playboy magazine was a big deal.  For various reasons many males thought the best place to read the magazine was to retreat to the "shitter" with a pack of cigs and spend some enjoyable time looking at its pics and reading its stories.  At the height of its popularity the magazine attracted some of the best writers in the world to its pages.  The magazine was never a "girlie" rag.  Playboy was a hipster mag for males from their 20's to 40's.

Bozzdivine, I haven't seen the movie you referred to.  However, I will.  The movie seems to be more about the social quality surrounding cigarettes and coffee which I understand completely.  I personally have enjoyed years of my life smoking and drinking coffee and booze with friends engaged in conversation.  My image is more about the pleasure of being alone with your two best friends: cigs and a copy of Playboy.
