Peter Butterworth, English actor (Starred in several ‘Carry On’ films, amongst others), was turned down for a part in The Great Escape, because he didn’t look athletic enough (Or similar reasons). This was a bit of a slap in the face as he had actually been in the camp, and part of the escape committee, plus his experiences and information about that time were used in the writing…..
Nope. It’s a bunny. I found the sheep and its a hornless goat.
Sorry for the little spoiler. That’s what i was looking for anyway and it still took some work to find.
I looked up a picture of both animals.
For cartooning purposes, both ear shapes are the same.
To find it….
… go to the left horn of the goat to the left of the purple “dudolf.com” in the puzzle and drop straight down to the next animal below the goat’s eye (I didn’t want to do the work with the video at the dudolf site to make it a picture).
I know someone quite well who understands computers the same way Claude does. For real!
She didn’t want to get a newer version of MS Word at one point, because she had some fonts she really liked, and thought they’d have to be thrown out with her old program.
In the days when we only had 2Mg email inboxes (really! That’s all!) she sent me a 1500kb picture. She couldn’t understand file sizes, or why it was a problem.
I told her i managed to delete it… so she sent a different one the same size.
Hotmail locked up my account and deleted important stuff I was saving.
Allowing first, HTML….then called by email systems “rich text” … and later, graphics, was still new. Not just my email… everybody’s email.
I’m assuming you mean two megabytes… I had no way to send anything that big except by physically.snail-mailing a disk.
I think I could have sent a 1 Mb file using my ISP address. Pretty sure that’s what this person did… but I mostly used Hotmail, which had a lower size limit on attachments.
And remember, we were on dial-up ISPs, nominally 57k per second but actually much slower, and had far slower computers. That 1 Mb image probably downloaded for an hour.

Just like in the cartoons of him.

Bronson, now there’s a face even a “face blind” guy can remember.

Wow. I recall his name but don’t recall his face. Guess I’ll watch a CARRY ON to refresh my memory. LOVE the CARRY ON comedies.
Just googled him – yes – definitely remember him fondly!
Willie Mays
Guess who copied. 😁
By this article on the ESPN WEBSITE this was at Ebbets Field in August of 1954
By the caption at this WEBSITE it took place at the Polo Grounds (III / there were three versions of the stadium) in 1957.
You pays your money and you takes your choice.
Here’s a copy you can use without letting anyone know it is…. 😜
There are extra baseball history photographs at both sites, but tons more at the second.
Much more likely to have been the Polo Grounds, as that was the Giants home field in NYC. Ebbets Field was the Dodgers home park.
My first baseball hero.
My dad’s favorite player.
Pretty sure not his first, cos he started watching baseball as a kid in the 1920s…
But his favorite while I lived at home, and probably longer. Not sure about after the Giants.
….
Goats.
You goat it!
♫♪ “I’m the king of the castle…” ♫♪
Apparently these tall goat structures are popping up in American and maybe Canadian fields.
Should we be worried about an international goats’ quest for dominance, or eventual takeover?
Goat pyramids honoring Quetzelgoatal?

The Adirondack Trout…
Adirondack rainbow trout.

I guess the rod in the back is for if you pop a wheelie.
Howe’d he do dat?

Sounds effective.
It’s the real thing!
And Coke isn’t!
find the sheep
I found one that looks a heckuva lot like a rabbit.
Yup. Bunny.
All Dudolf(the puzzle artist’s) animals are basically the same… just add or subtract a salient feature or two.
So yeah, I think the rabbity thing is the sheep.
Nope. It’s a bunny. I found the sheep and its a hornless goat.
Sorry for the little spoiler. That’s what i was looking for anyway and it still took some work to find.
Yay, I found the bunny!
Oops, sorry.. I meant the bunny-like goat was a sheep… Not the real bunny 🐰, which I also see.
Wanted to tell you but my internet has been out all day.
I haven’t been about to reply to anybody or give likes, or finish commenting.
BUNNY!
Found it.
What’s the thing wearing a carrot?
I think it’s goat. There are horns on each side. I think.
A unicarrot.
Found iron the 2nd try.
I looked up a picture of both animals.
For cartooning purposes, both ear shapes are the same.
… go to the left horn of the goat to the left of the purple “dudolf.com” in the puzzle and drop straight down to the next animal below the goat’s eye (I didn’t want to do the work with the video at the dudolf site to make it a picture).
I found one that wasn’t as horney as the rest.
Sorry, that was a sheep joke. OK, I better take it on the lamb before you guys come after me.
Your eyesight needs to be checked.
I don’t think any of them come remotely close to matching the beauty of this beautiful lady..
I offer my humble apologies to Ms. Horne.
Don’t be sheepish.
Jokes are OK, even wooly baaad ones.

She’s a bit better now but not totally.
Hmmm, your server was only for light e-mails. Heavy matters, over two Megagrams, would have to be handled another way.
Yes, most email was still plain text.
