Just a little on the puny side. This horse is like some of the skinny girls I know, it needs a sammich. Quit trying to look like a supermodel, they’re just too skinny to really be interesting, except to the wierdos who try to hang “different” clothes, weird hair, strange makeup, and whatever on them every year!

Why come down on people? Hypoglycemic people are very thin, there is no reason to belittle them. There are many reason someone may be thin, even poverty; they have enough troubles without the put-downs.

That foal’s mother needs to be examined: Not (good) enough milk.

It looks almost like an albino… But it’s a fairly rare color called cremello.

Cremellos have pale coloring, blue eyes and pinkish skin.

It comes from a gene that makes colors muted… So while its parents might be cream or white, they’re as likely to be palomino.

If it has a double cremello gene (ie one from each parent), it could even have the genetic makeup of a chestnut or another fairly dark color, but cremello wins out.

Foals often look very thin when they’re born… But this one does seem overly so.

Looks like that had better be a really sturdy pole for Santa to hang on to. Spiked eggnog will do that to you after a few quarts.

Interesting that the caption gives the title and publisher, but doesn’t mention the famous artist.

Maybe it’s no. 32 in a collection of his drawings, so it was expected that you’d already know….

It’s by one of my favorite illustrators, Charles Dana Gibson, who also created the Gibson Girl.

Some good ones. I still think Adrian Paul (Highlander) would make a great James Bond.

That is quite the lineup of acting chops. From the top, L – R:

SPOILER
Brando, Pacino, De Niro, Nicholson
Hackman, Hopkins, Hoffman, Caine
Duvall, Connery, Walken, Cazale
Eastwood, Freeman, Keitel, Pesci

So young!

My list matches Liverlips’, so his seems correct.

I would have officially missed three….

because….

I didn’t recognize Robert Duvall at that age, and my brain just wouldn’t come up with names for Harvey Keitel or Joe Pesci..

And….I always forget

that…
Christopher Walken was once so good looking… He’s made such a career out of playing weird.

But I did recognize him.

That’s a tight turn! This will never be converted to high speed, no matter how much you lean the cars to the inside of the turn to keep it comfortable for the passengers. Not every passenger can handle 9 G’s!

I rode the “El” in from O’Hare late at night (My only visit.) I was nervous of a very frightening tough in the car with me, then I saw his “Guarduan Angels” jacket and felt much better!

Is no one going to mention that

this is…..

Yet ANOTHER Twilight Zone episode?

It’s…
“The Eye of the Beholder” from 1962.

It’s one of the most remembered episodes… I know I’ll never forget it.

It’s about….

A supposedly hideous woman who has surgery to try to make her look like everybody else.

If you drop them at just the right time, that Aheee just might fit into the song. Maybe not Silent Night, but Dashing Through The Snow? Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree? Maybe when Mary gets sick of the little drummer boy keeping the baby awake? Baby It’s Cold Outside! Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer! Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire…. I’ll bet you can think of more if you want to just kind of liven up the music in the elevator!

I saw his show along with his back-up band The Bar Kays* a few months before he perished. He put on a great show in a small theater at Expo 67 in Montreal.Such a tragic loss and one of many in that era.

Cleo loves to have some carolers drop in any time.

What I want to know is how often they clean out the underground holding area… I hope there are no skeletons from 2017.
