I don’t understand how the lady in this postcard managed to slip on a bar of soap that started in the bathroom and ended up taking the throw rug and the bather down the hall, probably around the corner, then down the stairs on her rump? Isn’t it against building codes to put the bathroom…
I have started to notice a cyclical trend of product mascots, and it’s not pretty. Take this Vanilla Poptart Mascot. I don’t know his name, but he doesn’t look well. Look at his eyes! And he’s shivering. The tiny gloves and ill-fitting wool hat are not much help when you are sitting on a block…
Why do some kids have to doodle all over a book? OK, it’s not a library book, but maybe it was one he had in juvie? It’s “The Regulators”, one of Stephen King’s “Bachman” books. I hope it didn’t warp the kid’s mind any further.
I am ashamed to admit that I fell for the comic book ad and ordered Sea Monkeys. At one point I recall I had the “deluxe” aquarium, with the magnifying surface on one side? Those shrimp were probably terrified of “the giant eye”! I was just trying to raise them up big enough to put…
We hit the “Can’t Miss” Geocache a few years ago, it’s one of our favorites. (TIP: Change out of your Target uniform before you go.) We were a bit cautious here, you never know they might have a “The Most Dangerous Game” thing going on. However business was slow at the shooting range, and we…
Ever prepared, my mother-in-law kept these extra pockets on hand, for about fifty years I’d guess? It was just in case there was a need for pockets mounted externally, over pink pants and a pink belt, although I guess any color would work. I can’t tell if the man in the picture is smiling because…
Whenever I go to a hardware or auto-supply store, I try to avoid the young people who are still learning the ropes. Instead I seek out the cranky old guy, who always resembles Popeye; actually in this case, Mike from “Breaking Bad”. I call him the COG (Crabby Old Guy). The chain store I went…
I see that in 2020, when we had Xfinity AKA Comcast, which included internet and TV (We got rid of the land line years ago) – the total had crept up to $185 or so… So we switched to Ziply Fiber, $90.90 a month for high speed, reliable internet. Now what about content? Youtube premium…
Something a bit corny about this matchbook, but I am sure people kept them just to amuse their friends. People were easier to amuse back then. It looks innocent enough closed… It must have elicited a surprised laugh when someone opened it for a match.
When I was a kid, I thought Harvey comics were the worst (Except Sad Sack). Dottie Dot? Richie Rich? Little Lotta… Her thing was she had an eating disorder, and was morbidly obese. Nobody cared enough to get her the help she needed. These were some messed up kids in any comic universe. And don’t…
