Matches from the long-gone Cook Book restaurant of Campbell, California, featuring “500 types of Omelettes”. I get decision fatigue just thinking about it. Still, it was popular back in the day. I would have tried it because the saddle of the matchbook says it’s a “House of Extra Compliments” and I need all the love…
I’m very pleased with our new Homedics “TotalComfort UltrasonicHumidifier” with warm and cool mist. Here are the features, pros, and cons; I was going to post an affiliate link to Amazon on this, but as of this writing they want $142.98 for the exact same contraption I got at Costco for $79.99 – I told…
I love the whole “jackalope” thing, mythical creatures often featured in tourist-trap postcards of earlier times. This one does not present itself as a Jackrabbit-Antelope crossbreed, but rather The Siberian White Tail Deer, which is a common breed of deer. The postcard says they are “large and weigh around 14 to 16 pounds and have…
There is so much wrong with this postcard. Google translate only muddied the water; “One glass, three glasses hello damage!” and at the bottom; “I can’t put my piece on, the parking meter is moving !” Who understands the French. They think Jerry Lewis is hilarious. Also… Why is the meter maid out of uniform?…
If it wasn’t for the airfare to haul my corpse all the way to Florida, I would take them up on this! $49.50!! Then Teresa can go to Disney World while she is down there. So if you see a lady in black on the monorail, give her a hug for me.
So apparently there exists a game called lawn bowling. It is played with a ball about the diameter of a golf ball? And several balls that look like croquet balls but they are asymetrical. (I wonder if they use defective croquet balls for this?) Here we have a group of French bon vivants or whatever,…
In the 1800’s, if the (lake?) froze over, the folks who could afford it took the time to head out on the ice. I can’t tell if they are depicted here as being very limber and acrobatic, or if a number of them are falling on their asses. I read that this week in 1909,…
“What do you want to do today, Orville?” “Oh, I dunno. How about we buzz the lock? What could go wrong?”
I almost bought this anniversary card for Teresa (The selection was limited at Target) but upon further rumination, I suspect that this popsicle card would cause her to say, “What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say I have a stick up my ass???”
It’s not like she wanted to return anything, or see if she forgot something. Does she need a reason?
