Maybe so… could be how this tiger got the.role in the Disney movie.
Of course, the real Tigger, pre-Disney, was very bouncy, but it was more to do with his personality… he didn’t bounce on his tail.. That’s a special Disnification.
Celebrated as one of baseball’s most iconic vintage photographs:
Cleveland Indians outfielder Jeff Heath leaps dramatically over Philadelphia Athletics catcher Hal Wagner to avoid a tag at Shibe Park on April 28, 1942.
Hard to believe it was still like that on some New York streets in 1926!
Other streets may be well-paved, well-lit, full of shiny cars …. Times Square already had some neon signs…
But here on the lower East side, cars got sandwiched in between horse-drawn carts, in between piles of mud and debris on unpaved streets, and landlords bragged if some rooms for rent had electric lights.
Immigrants ended up in neighborhoods like this, that would allow them, putting up with things that tenants elsewhere would reject, just to have a roof over their heads and a bed, and maybe an electric light bulb. One, hanging from the ceiling.
They tended to find places where people spoke the same language. then they lived and shopped and worked in a few square blocks…
which all probably had a lovely… aroma.
The amazing thing is that so many of those immigrant-crammed, difficult, impoverished neighborhoods were so happy.
Not trying to whitewash a shameful situation… The poverty and prejudice they faced was a disgrace.
But after the hardships “back home”, the sickness and starvation of perilous sea voyages, even, probably, their disappointment when the streets were mud instead of gold… they found their compatriots and built strong families and communities.

Not many tigers can take a shower standing on tippy-tail.

Truly.

I imagine the pride was mingled with terror
And he still had to get home again!
Yeah, for a parent, I’m sure the whole voyage was terrifying, including the landing.

So far I can’t.

Duh…
Yup!

When I was googling the pictures of Annie Oakley, I read that she was paid more than anybody else in the show, except for Buffalo Bill himself.
That includes her husband, marksman Frank Butler.
Pretty remarkable for the 19th century, when women earned next to nothing.
Well, she WAS known for her shooting skills.
Very true.
So her negotiating skills were right on target.
Here’s a Malt-O-Meal commercial to go with your Maypo commercial of a few days ago.
I’ve often used the line, “Good stuff, Maynard.”
Wonderful AI subtitles… humans used to write them; now they just let AI bots.”listen” and transcribe the dialogue.
So in the subtitles, Dad asks Maynard, “Do you know you’re eating moldy meal?”
And instead of iron fortified, it’s “iron pork”.
Mmmmmmmm, iron pork!

Their expressions show that they feel captured.
The curved top suggests it’s one of a stereopticon (early View-Master) pair.
