A great place to hide microfilms. Hogan could have hidden dozens of fakes, and then sent another that was almost good, with tiny changes hidden in the fakes.
That’s a different way of propulsion on the red boat in the foreground! Instead of rowing, the guys below decks all blow into a tube, and it comes out the backward facing tuba and propels them forward. I’m “almost” sure that’s how it works! Not too much garlic, or it’ll melt the sails!
If it’s like a lot of old bank buildings that’s a panel containing a drop box into the vault, for deposits outside of banking hours
On the right is what looks like a closed walk-up teller window. No ATMs yet.
I could be wrong… But there was still a similar set-up at an old bank branch I used in the 70s.
I remember it felt shockingly vulnerable when they removed the divider on top of the counter, inside the bank, with its barred windows in front of the tellers.
The car(s?) at the left are pretty odd too. The best I can figure, a long open two-seater is closer to us passing a sedan going the other way. But the top of the sedan looks like it’s part of the roadster.
I’ve also seen Charles Middleton in at least 2-3 Laurel and Hardy films, and in a Marx Brothers movie, forget the title, but it was a grand song and dance scene with Groucho and a huge cast. Versatile actor – must have had a good sense of humor …. especially with that visage.
Hey, It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! Especially here, apparently! I might have needed at least a bathroom if I was that bird, but then my kidneys and bladder must not even come within a longshot of his.

I found several versions of Mozart’s – Ein musikalischer Spass in F Major, Op. 93, K. 522 online. This is the one I listened to as background while listening to the final innings of the Blue Jays loss 7 – 2 to the Orioles. EIN MUSIKALISCHER SPASS I do not know enough about music to understand the joke, but I found the music itself relaxing. Thanks for the lead.
Glad I could help. It’s somewhat symphonic in that it has multiple movements, in a more or less classical form internally as well as externally, and it’s played by a small symphonic ensemble. Mozart is lampooning the compositional techniques of some of his less-skilled contemporaries. Increasingly less-skilled as the piece progresses.
A fun take on a Roger Miller song. We only had 2 kids, but there were lots more hanging around most of the time. Fun when they were there, lots of fun when they weren’t there.
It says Scopitone in the beginning, meaning it was one of the short films made by Scopitone for showing on coin operated players, set up similarly to juke boxes in the 1960s.
They were filmed in full color, and because they were usually located in bars, they could show more adult content than the black and white television of the time.
…
We previously saw a Scopitone film here (more than once) of Bobby Vee singing “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes”, with women dancing suggestively (for 1962) in two piece bathing suits, and doing racy leg kicks.
IIRC, Vee was a producer of and investor in Scopitone.
Saginaw, Michigan. I lived just south of there in Flint. Saginaw Bay is the arm of Lake Huron that separates the “thumb” of Michigan from the rest of the mitten.
I just looked up “Mike Fright” because everybody looks so young in it.
It was made in 1934, when Spanky was only six, though already a seasoned veteran of Our Gang.
I’d thought he was still actually a toddler in his first roles, in 1931, but it turns out they had him playing one at three, because he was always baby-faced.
He was still cute, though, even here at 6 … unlike when they kept him hanging on to little kid roles as a young teenager.
No Alfalfa yet, or Buckwheat or Darla… but they’ll be along soon.
Tommy was still Tommy, not yet cast as gang nemesis Butch.

The whole film is just over 17 minutes, if you’d like to watch it:

Mitsubishi Zero
Very powerful, very maneuverable, but at the cost of vulnerability. It took the US awhile to understand their vulnerabilities.
it helped when they secured an intact Zero in ’42

Is that one of our alien overlords directly over the pyramid? Looks as if he’s coming in for a landing.
of course! how else could they build the pyramids?

There’s always that one guy….
Everybody’s all suited up… ready for opening day of Anciente Egypte Faire…
Costumes approved, booths and boats and pyramid all passed approval…
Then there’s that one guy, right down in front, wearing a white polo shirt… and probably shades.

“The Unsinkable”
I loved the movie.
Me too, though all I remember is that the eponymous hero was played by Debbie Reynolds.
“New” money at the time.
She was the wife of a very successful (lucky?) gold miner.
True, but she married him for love, before he got rich, which was for inventing a gold mining process, as an engineer, not from finding gold.
Afterm they became rich, she grew famous as a philanthropist and suffragette, working for women’s rights and to help African Americans and the poor.
Yup! It’s said that she was “a hoot” to be around.
Most of the Old Money Ladies loved her.

This was done by a human only in the sense the human programmed the machine badly.
That looks like an Escher door.
I think that’s because it’s probably not a door.

I can’t tell what’s inside and what’s outside.

Man, I’ve seen people chug a lot of beers. Pitchers, even. But that bird, ounce for ounce, has to be the best I’ve ever seen.
Hey, It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! Especially here, apparently! I might have needed at least a bathroom if I was that bird, but then my kidneys and bladder must not even come within a longshot of his.
I hate to mention this, but…
Birds do what they do… or… er… uh… doo what they doo…
without leaving the spot.
That’s why he doesn’t need a “bathroom”….
And also why you have to clean a birdcage, or your car windshield… or in this case, the living room carpet. Yuck!
Thankfully, you’re more polite… but he’ll grab the beer while you’re gone.
Me, the beer years.

Missed 7 & 10. I saw infinities in 10.
So did I till I counted them, and the pun jumped out at me.

From yesterday.
I found several versions of Mozart’s – Ein musikalischer Spass in F Major, Op. 93, K. 522 online. This is the one I listened to as background while listening to the final innings of the Blue Jays loss 7 – 2 to the Orioles.
EIN MUSIKALISCHER SPASS I do not know enough about music to understand the joke, but I found the music itself relaxing. Thanks for the lead.
Glad I could help. It’s somewhat symphonic in that it has multiple movements, in a more or less classical form internally as well as externally, and it’s played by a small symphonic ensemble. Mozart is lampooning the compositional techniques of some of his less-skilled contemporaries. Increasingly less-skilled as the piece progresses.
“Spass” means fun.
Oh gosh!
It’s back again….
my childhood movie… the one I never expected everybody here to see.
I didn’t know StelBel would one day do a poster for it….
Nicer than the original!
(blush)
….
I was so little… and I had to wear that hot, itchy basset costume….
and the legs were kinda short for me.
I did get to wear my Merkeley Brontessori T-shirt, at least.
And anyway, it was fun learning to be a princess….
something I guess I never forgot.
🙂
I just discovered that this exists.

Somehow? I’m right there in the credits! 😁
