Antonio Salieri (1750-1825)
A contemporary of Mozart, he worked at the Viennese court and eventually became Kappelmeister. There were rumours that he poisoned Mozart, and he even falsely confessed to poisoning Mozart when he was in his old age and a bit delusional, but these rumours are not true. Tried to take his own life in 1823.
Due to the works of Alexander Pushkin's 'Mozart and Salieri', and Peter Shaffer's 'Amadeus', Salieri has been unfairly painted as a mediocre composer, though this is also not true.

Instead of creating his own opera, when Salieri became Kappelmeister, he revived Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro'.

Get the Skier's left mug.Occurs when holding out your hand to stop an inevitible face plant into concrete snow - your fingers are safely curled around your pole, but your thumb bends ways never intended by nature, and is usually accompanied by an audible "pop".

Get the skier's thumb mug.a beautiful, insanely intelligent girl. She doesn't know exactly who she is yet, but she is slowly figuring it out. She may lose her sanity from time to time, but she only comes out stronger in the end. She tends to keep to herself most of the time, but once you break the outer shell, she is the most interesting person you'd ever meet. Extremely creative, very imaginative. She knows exactly what she wants, she just needs a little push. Very hard to win over.
