I always wonder when I see these old city pictures with such wide roads. It’s like they anticipated the dense traffic of today. City streets in Europe, where most of these city founders came from, are very narrow. But here they made them incredibly wide (for the time).
The men always wear boots…. and helmets and jackets and gloves and heavy work pants…. Unless of course they’re wearing padded coveralls or indestructible metallic space suits.
The women don’t have to wear such stiff, uncomfortable clothing, or bother their pretty little heads with the details of outer space dangers.
They get to wear cute little mini dresses, and in this case a bathing suit, so they can always look adorable no matter what perils lurk.
After all, the men will surely do all the dangerous tasks.
That’s why he’s shooting past her while that space-lobster-fish thing heads for her bare knees.
The movie advertisement whtich appears on the second page of the magazine is also a link to the contents.
Re: Susan’s response to nighthawks:
I don’t think that’s a Wonder Bra; I think that’s the cold of space getting to certain portions of her anatomy.
Here’s Bette Midler singing a rather risqué (but funny as only she can do) song about the invention of the bra.
Might be a bit of a challenge to navigate for the newest squeezable cruise ships / submarines. Instead of having a keel, it has an eel to carry passengers. After they’re through, the more adventurous passengers get to go out and play “Crack The Whip”.
The site I got this from says it’s Rio, but note that one of the photographs is flipped.
Other sites say the one posted by nighthawks is Hong Kong.
Still other sites say it’s a computer wallpaper.
I’m going with the last one as I can find nothing that matches anything in either city’s photographs.
The green street lighting is odd and there are two major looking roads that go to the pier in the center of the picture and end. Either it’s AI or it’s a bay with a tunnel going across at that pier. (I enlarged it).
This is the same page from a video game called June’s Journey on which we were previously asked to find a cat, a butterfly, and an elephant. We’ve had other pages from it here too.
The thing about this game is that it takes you through several “rooms” during a search… Or you go back to a room looking for something else, but some objects might be moved or replaced.
So a few times, we were in the wrong room for finding the object.
In this case, I see the six pineapples… the butterfly is here, and the cat… But IIRC the elephant turned out to be in another room.
Alexander Grahamcracker Basset is responsible not only for inventing the telephone, but for using the word “come” to call a dog.
Here he’s calling his human, but once he had a phone in his house he often called his doggie pals, and the phrase “come here” stuck….
Later shortened to “come”.
BTW… The human Alexander Graham Bell, who worked on his own version of the telephone to perfect a few details of the basset invention, thought the correct word for answering the device should be “ahoy”. He tended to say “ahoy hoy”.
He was pretty much alone in that.
….
Thomas Edison, another human assistant to basset inventions, is the one who suggested “hello”. Believe it or not, it was not a very popular greeting before that.
People were more likely to say “good afternoon”, or some such.
Edison thought hello was more recognizable, and its brevity was important.
His idea was that telephones should neither hang up, nor ring.
Your phone should be always on, and callers would merely say “hello”, which would catch your attention, so you would pick it up
I’m not sure how they were supposed to let someone reach a specific person, if all the lines were continuously connected.
Maybe he didn’t think that through.
But the word hello was connected in people’s mind with telephones before it came into poplar use for an in-person greeting.
Early telephone operators were even slangily called “Hello girls.”
I sold my house.
Gory details later when i have time to sit down and think.
I have $200,000 with another (up to) $60,000 mortgage available by the end of next week. According to the Credit Union mortgage officer.
That’s not a lot for this part of the world, but it is doable,
.
The little miss put me here and covered me up. I don’t dare move and displease her, or maybe she won’t give me a tummy rub later.

I’m glad that’s a wooden scuppture. Otherwise, that’s one heck of a migraine! Or worse!
Bruno Walpoth.
We’ve seen one or two before.
I vaguely remember a young woman posed on a diving board.
His stuff is amazing.

I’ve been told prairie towns had to have roads wide enough for a four(?) horse wagon to turn around…

LOL 😀
Well said
Manless worlds… As imagined by a man.
No doubt on those planets the women don’t even bother with clothes.
Not do they wear them in the Pleasure Age.
Gee I wonder about the intended audience for this stuff. All the interest is very academic, I’m sure.
I mean, look at the detail on that wonder bra and stiff leather get-up.
Not even the artist can figure out how that leather crotch is supposed to fit.

I swear this was with the above when I first posted it.
I remember Carol Burnett doing a spot on her show judging the legs of her male co-stars (shaved, and in nylons.) Lyle Wagoner won IIRC….
I can’t even reconize their faces, now we’re doing legs??!!!

Huh, my daughter was there today.
Ooh! Point her out in the picture, so we can wave 👋!
Rio?
Hong Kong?
Yes I think so too.
The site I got this from says it’s Rio, but note that one of the photographs is flipped.
Other sites say the one posted by nighthawks is Hong Kong.

I was likewise thinking it didn’t match either.

Cute little guy!
Snot real.
Probably could be. Just needs a little genetic engineering by the new AI.
Baby Dragon!
Looks a little like Martin Short.
Is that more insulting to this little guy or to Mr. Short?
“Are you kidding me?”
,,.
It’s a good thing for good boy that daddy is a messy eater.
It’s a good thing that everyone is a messy burrito eater.
So typically “dog.”
Not so cute little guys!
Hey, if it wasn’t for rats and their plague fleas, we’d be overrun with prosperous, enlightened Europeans by now. Or something like that….
Five…
I found six.
Found them, trimmed them, put coconut cream into the grooves, added cinnamon and nutmeg, and put them on the rotisserie. Mmmmmmm!
Oooh, that sounds evil. 🙂
How do you serve it? Steaks or chunks?
I prefer steaks, but I’m not too picky. Maybe as steaks and sear both sides just to be decadent. {^¿^}
I noticed the puppy before the bunny.
Are you slipping? 😁
Got ’em.

Ive only seen one a couple of times.
Apparently they are exceedingly shy.
Beautiful, I’ve never seen one.
It looks like a gold finch mated with a purple finch, both of which we have around here.
They are bigger than that. Smaller than a starling, i think. They eat wasps and like to forage on top of the canopy.

The human, Bell, also invented the hovercraft. Bassets had no parallel to that, as they avoided anything that sounded like Hoover craft.

Congratulations, I guess. Good luck home-hunting. I hope all works out for the best.
Thank you, I need some, Me too!
To be honest, right now i am scared spit-less.
As long as it’s doable! Now on to the motorhome and the broad highway?
Not quite yet. I don’t retire until June.
Good job, and good luck on the next phase.
Thanks. Keep the luck coming!
