Interesting. I tried translating the sign below the warning lights. It looks like hiragana, but I just couldn’t work it out. Way too many years since I tried to learn even a little bit of the language.
Close! The thing at the bottom is actually the coupling (Screw coupling). The fronts would either split down the middle, or hinge at the top (and bottom in the case of the LNER A4’s) for access to the smokebox door. From the feel of the picture the loco actually looks German to me, but air-smoothed designs were very popular in the 1920’s and ’30’s in several countries and continents.
Just to start, I’ll bet the catcher isn’t wearing a cup. I was a catcher in a similar situation in 5th grade. Luckily, the only thing broken was my nose. At the same time, the woman in the hat is in grave danger from a foul ball (as is the umpire). Sometimes education is a slow process. At other times….
this is a scene from ‘The Natural’ —Robert Redford is pitching the ball.
You can see Joe Don Baker at bat , Robert Duvall as the ‘umpire’ and off
to the right is Barbara Hershey.
This scene was set in about the late 1920’s-hence the dated clothing
No matter what the actors wear, photos from the 21st or late 20th century never look like pre WWII.
The hair, makeup, stance, or bearing, and even photographic process, all have a different look.
I’ve tried to pose some myself… not OF me, but me taking B/W photos of a couple of female friends, who didn’t look like models, in genuine 1920s clothing, after I thought did their hair in a style for the era…
I took those photos in the 1980s, and they look like the 1980s.
By the 1960s, movies didn’t replicate the 20s, and by the 80s, even the 50s looked “wrong”.
Every era subtly imprints itself on its artifacts.
As a matter of fact, in the late 1930s, “Gone with the Wind” launched a fad for 1860s style lamps, that are now recognizable as from the 30s, as were the costumes in the movie.
Well, I couldn’t catch my tail (hey, I’m a basset, we ain’t too quick), but this is a pretty good substitute.
Looks like a Chippendale Mupp in Dr. Seuss’s “The Sleep Book”. It’s so far from his brain that it will take 8 hours to get there and wake him up. Nature creates her own alarm clocks.
Pink Shoe Laces video mix is absolutely great! I memorized that song when I was a kid! I think the instructions on how to be buried are something I need to revisit with my attorney.
Mr Gargoyle has found himself a real live (so to speak) pin-up girl to date, also so-to-speak, as we might be talking about a different kind of dating, as in determining how old she really is.
She’s a bit cold to him, but he thinks she’ll warm up in the nice weather.
…
Was for the Shar Pei, she’s found some compatible wrinkles.
Who knows what either of them really looks like.
…
BTW a couple of years ago they “fixed” one of my favorite entries on Wikipedia.
There was an entry for Shar Pei, and up at the top, it said “For the felt tip marker, see “Sharpie”.
And on the page for Sharpies, it said, of course, “For the dog, see “Shar Pei”.
It may have just been a prank in the first place, but I think it was there for a least a few years.

I thought I saw a ghost dog!
NOSES!!
Eyes!
“Are you gonna be expecting a big ‘hello’ with jumping and yipping and fussing? Cause we don’t play that.”

“Walk”
I believe the illuminated sign says “stand here and wait, numb nuts.”

My last life must have been during the art deco age. I love these.
It looks like it has a zip fly in front (upside down i.e. zipper pull at the bottom).
So you undo it, and the outer shell lifts off for fixing the engine?

Where’d you get your bathing suit, Creature?
What’s he doing in Echo Lake?
Doesn’t he live way over in the Black Lagoon?
i grew up going to echo park lake in glendale (ca) we called it ‘shady boat park’.
That’s what I was gonna say. Must be why it’s called “Echo lake.”

But you immediately know it’s a modern photo.

Nope.
And when I say modern, I mean that very loosely.
I took those photos in the 1980s, and they look like the 1980s.

what language is this?
German.
And I didn’t even have to look it up. 😉
Wow.
I’d like to know hat story.
Amado Mio translates as “My beloved”. Enjoy the song, with that in mind.

NOSE!!!
Just so long as he doesn’t wonder who bit him.
Lexington? Is that you?
Oh – and I love Mrs. Maisel.
@P51Strega re the 8th – The Raven:
MAD #9 Bill Elder.
Thanks. I saw it in a Mad compilation book a very long time ago.
I like how George’s surroundings contribute to the song. But that backflip, was that a body double?
Yes
The person dancing in the blue light, including the flip, isn’t George.
Not his hair or his body, and you can see his face change back into George’s as he slips back into the chair.

kinda difficult to wear ‘a big Panama hat in the coffin, though
