Recognised both of them, and they do both look young, so probably early in their careers.
Add in some Harold Lloyd, Laurel & Hardy, and a splash of Charlie Chaplin, and you’ve got a great lineup for a cold wet afternoon in front of the TV/Computer with a bowl of good soup.
A few years ago I picked up the box set of L&H, their entire catalogue, for a bargain on eBay. If you’re a fan of the pair, it’s worth looking out for.
Even though he was a Brooklyn-born-and-raised, dyed-in-the-wool Dodgers fan, even after he moved to California with his parents at college age….
He always said he loved Willy Mays, and was almost as sad when the Giants moved to San Francisco as when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles.
…
I was a kid and by then, he was in the service.
We lived in either Cleveland or an Air Force base in Libya for both moves so I didn’t really understand.
But what I did understand was when he was transferred in the 1960s back to California, near his mother and sister, who were Oakland As fans, and only 400 miles from his once beloved but now Los Angeles Dodgers, he startled them all by becoming a Giants fan…
I remember Vin Scully talking about all but a few of these guys on the radio. We were always devastated when a favorite was replaced, but…I remember my brother talking in his sleep saying, “And here comes, Wally Moon!”. Good times.
Carl Erskine, who passed away just recently, was a good friend of Jackie Robinson’s, likely the best among Robinson’s white teammates. Both Robinson and his wife, who far outlived him, spoke highly of Erskine for the rest of their lives.

They’re so cute and cuddly when they’re babies.
If I can wish for a Hippopotamus for Christmas, why not a Rhinoceros?

Looks like it was posed by Dudas (the puzzle maker)!
….
I hate to say it, but I really think the kitty’s mask is “enhanced”.
Possibly on the cat, itself….but more likely in Photoshop or other image altering software.
Looking closely at the cat’s nose, its whole face could have been totally added.
The cat has been ‘shopped in, the colour saturation of the whole head is wrong.
Agree

Tristan & Isolde?

From the running time this is the full restored movie.
More celebrities…. in their day.
I did, actually … But I confess that I looked them up just to make sure.. especially since Keaton looks so young here.
Arbuckle’s life took a sad turn a few years later.
Accused of rape and manslaughter when a young actress died in his apartment after a party, he was eventually acquitted…
He was delared innocent, and the jury even apologized.
But he was still banned from the movies and disgraced in the public eye.
My mother, for one, still believed he was some kind of monster, when I asked about him many years later….
Even though he’d started making movies again a few years after the trial.
Yes.
Recognized neither.

1918
But it was nonetheless quite early in their film careers, as both became much more famous in the 1920’s.
Fatty Arbuckle, yes. Keaton, not in a million years!
Too talkative?
I got Keaton at first glance.
Guess I looked too hard…
Willie Mays
Undoubtedly one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and a hero to many.
thanks. It’s fixed
The “say hey kid”… One of my dad’s heroes too.

Just for Willy Mays.
You copied! I’m tellin’!!

find the hedgehog
Found it.
I don’t think you should give up, cos he’s pretty findable…
But if you do, or better yet, want to make sure we’ve found the same one….
They are some cute little guys, aren’t they?
Dinsdale?
??
Monte Python reference.
I don’t think you should be so rude asking us to find the hedge.
rudeness just comes so easily, though
I didn’t understand that one either.
I must be having a slow day.
When read aloud: “Find the hedge, hog”…
I may have posted this one before, but…He’s A Good Dog.
That’s a sweet love song to his pooch. If you’ve posted it before, that’s okay. We’re all old, and we don’t remember either.
“Howl with the Wind”!
Wow… that was my sister’s favorite book, and then her favorite movie.
All that swirling drama, of war and pride and survival, inflamed by passion and honor…
wrapped up in Civil War uniforms, tight corsets and magnificent technicolor.
She must have read the book 5 times, and whenever the movie was in TV we had to watch it. (In those days of one TV per household, if they were lucky.)
…
Was there ever a prettier, daintier basset than Vivian Leash?
And Bark Bagel… that little mustache… and those eyes…. OMG those eyes! …swooon.
You know, the humans tried to do it too…..
But their passion and pride are lackluster compared to a basset hound’s.
