I can’t find proof at the moment, but I really think this is a spoof.
We had an ad posted here quite a while ago, maybe for a car… that I tracked down to an artist who specialises in phony or altered vintage “ads” that challenge modern mores, using parts of old images… and are meant to be funny.
I’ve looked for a bit but I can’t seem to find him right now.
I seem to recall that this is one of his.. even though tonight’s search leads to a lot of places that cite it as real. That happens to most of his work, if it escapes into the wild from his site.
…
The thing is, I also see it on “Funny picture” sites…
and there’s another version with Heineken.
If the 7-Up version is real, of course, that one could be altered from it… but I think they’re both fake.
The mother of a late friend of mine made a rum cake that was the stuff of legend. If you were going to have a slice of it, you had to hand over your car keys ahead of time.
The glass door onto the street makes it look more retail space than reading room.
And while I don’t know whether they’re used or new, the books face front, showing off their covers.
Library books are usually shelved closer together, with their spines (and catalog numbers) facing us, except the ones on low shelves in the Children’s room.

BTW, Nighthawks… do you know why a couple of the images you posted have white dots in the middle of them?
it’s my Pinterest source. Occasionally , a crisp , enlarged image has those pesky dots that I assume are there to prevent unauthorized duplication—
the following is a photoshopped/manipulated version
The vehicle in the picture looks like a Nissan Leaf electric van to me. Here in the UK, ‘vans’ are cargo carriers, what you in the States call a ‘van’ to us is a ‘People Carrier’.
the Cleveland Indians—-I suppose it was time to change that, especially since
it was revealed that many native Americans were offended all those years.
But nothing can be more offensive than the Washington Redskins—not much
less offensive than if a team was called the Blackskins or Brownskins or even Whiteskins for that matter

If I’m accurate in my timing, posting “comment 2” < 15 seconds after “comment 1” will result in the attachment below.

You just don’t see the whole picture – in fact, the space behind the artist taking that picture of Toronado is wide open. There are only a few rows of high bushes to hide the entrance to the cave; Toronado was, is and will always be free to roam.

PLAIN PASTRY
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
5 tablespoons ice water
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt
. Cut in the shortening by holding 2 knives in the hand like scissors.
Mix lightly, stirring with a fork while adding water.
Try to pour water on dry, flour parts of the mixture.
Form into a ball with lightly floured hands.
Chill before using.
Notes from me:
Bake on second rack (top rack is first) I’d keep an eye on it from the 40 minute mark during the second baking period (you might have “dry” peaches).
it’s funny. never once when we were in Los Angeles did we EVER discuss ‘skulldoggery’. harrumph. i guess you had to twirl a mustache and be called ‘evil’ in order to do it.

I wish my puppy wound slobber more and bite less.

Wow. That is disturbing, disgraceful, and dishonest.
Mom would give us some 7up when we had a tummy ache.

There’s no way this one is real:
But I see that it’s from “Worth 1000”, which runs a Photoshop contest…
so maybe it’s not from the artist I was thinking of.
More research is needed. LOL
Like letting Holly lick the beaters and the bowl when Gramma’s making rum cake?

Yes… I think it’s a bookstore too.

Nope. One of us is wrong. 😀
The vehicle in the picture looks like a Nissan Leaf electric van to me. Here in the UK, ‘vans’ are cargo carriers, what you in the States call a ‘van’ to us is a ‘People Carrier’.
It’s a Leaf.
It’s the mustache twist that really separates the low-life from the ne’er-do-well.
A picture link to an article about the sculptures Cleveland’s Guardians baseball team took their new name from.
Toronto 9 // Boston 3
@Nighthawks… hope you saw my post to you yesterday, telling you about that name, after you posted a “whoosh” on Rotifer’s comment.
Names like “Cleveland Indians” just won’t do these days… and while some forms of PC go too far, I think for names like that, it’s about time.
Not so sure I think “Guardians” is much of a name for a sports team though, in spite of the reference.
at the risk of started a war I will keep my opinion to my self
war? what is it good for?
absolutely NOTHING!
.
–good god, y’all!

Whiteskins for that matter
I said that in my original post under Rotifer’s comment and your “Whoosh.”.
I mean, that “Redskins” was the worst, and
I’d been thinking it was offensive for decades.
But before I went to bed I edited it out, cos my intent was just to alert you about the name change.
But it is amazing (or horrifying) that a word like that was ever considered suitable.
….
Funny thing… I guess…. Maybe…
For a few years I traded friendly comments on some comics with a woman who posted as “Blackwolf.”
She called me Susan, and her avatar was a friendly looking black wolf face, so I called her “Blackie.”
She never said anything about it… then one day she changed to a new avatar… a young Black woman with glasses.
Oopsie…..
…
I posted that I was sorry for the nickname, and stopped using it…
But she never said a word.
Is that pony, perhaps, part dachshund?
Basset!
Wow… that being a one-word comment, I typed it fairly quickly after my last one.
Truth be told, I’m NOT a fast typist, though… two index fingers, looking at the keyboard.
It didn’t post, and a red window opened, with a message from WordPress.
It said “You’re commenting too fast. Slow down!”
LOL!! I’ve never seen that one before!
never heard of that before
I had one of those yesterday.
I ran an experiment.
If I’m accurate in my timing, posting “comment 2” < 15 seconds after “comment 1” will result in the attachment below.
It appears just under the “Howdy (your name and avatar here)” bar.
That’s it!
Yep….. That must have been it…
It was only there for a moment, so I didn’t remember the exact words…
Only the surprise!
It’s to stop Bots flood-posting.
Buenos días, mis queridos Cleomigos (¡ y Cleomigas, tambien, si!)….
Today, Perro™ seriously thinks about riding again!
We’re getting ever so close!
…
In preparation… today we meet Toronado… the famed horse of our hero.
A horse who has been waiting for years for his beloved master… in an underground cave… in fact, right below his father’s hacienda.
This is the cave that will become, if this tale is true to California’s real history, Perro™’s secret den, and the center of his operations…
It’s wonderful to see Perro™’s reunion with his faithful steed… but …um… let’s watch from just a little farther back, shall we?
I mean… could somebody please open a window?
That horse has been closed up in here for years
Por favor… una ventana? …Ahorito!
.
…
A little side note …. (the kind of thing Montana Lady likes to know, so perhaps some of you others do, too.)
As you can see, Toronado is a very special horse.
His name and personality were closely imitated in the horses chosen for some of the human copydog books, films and television shows.
But they didn’t have access to the distinctive breed used in “Perro™”.
It was a closely guarded secret… a cross between the beautiful Andalusian and the so-called “basset horse”….
itself a cross-breed of Spanish pony and basset hound.
(Good guess, Happy³, but basset, not dachshund.)
…
Perhaps it’s a good thing the humans didn’t have one…
cos that human impostor, Guy Williams, could never have ridden the original Toronado.
His feet would have dragged gracelessly on the ground!
You just don’t see the whole picture – in fact, the space behind the artist taking that picture of Toronado is wide open. There are only a few rows of high bushes to hide the entrance to the cave; Toronado was, is and will always be free to roam.

Y’all have a great day. ((((( HuGz!)))))
