Right, cos those cardboards cutouts with little holes in them are going to slide right along that string.

And the spinner is for ??

Good thing you don’t really need it, cos it’s not gonna spin.

When is this from – and when did nylon fishing (or kite, in my case) strings get common?

It’s not just a modern practice.

I used to have some late 19th century heavy ceramic Hires root beer mugs… more like steins.

They were tan glazed, and of course, opaque.

The inside bottoms were a few inches above the outside bottoms, and a large glazed bump rose inside the center of each mug.

They looked like pints but probably held 6 oz.

….

Even farther back were bread sellers who baked stones into their loaves, cos they sold by weight…

One of the things that gave rise to the guilds that assured quality of goods.

Victorian ice cream dishes were almost solid glass — just a little depression in the top to hold a spoonfull of ice cream.

Of course, being me, I had to notice “Earle C. Jones”, and looking at the sausages, my eyes changed it into “Earle Cajones”.

I’m surprised the green screen didn’t have to stretch all the way between the buildings.

I was thinking that too… but there’s also no screen behind the buildings on the sides.

So maybe they don’t need it where they can more easily edit the frames along straight lines, perhaps even make a master image that could be used in many frames.

The relatively tiny people, who are also in motion, would be very difficult to cut or paint around.

They’d look unrealistic, and it would have to be redone, frame by frame, so they probably use the screen instead.

Just surmise on my part.

Hoo boy, that is one creepy picture. There appears to be a hand grasping the throat of the blind man reading the newspaper, and tentacles in several places. And that is most definitely not all.

That hand looks more like a bloody print inside the restroom to me…

And the blind man looks like he has gills.

There’s definitely some sort of structure on his neck….

Folds or fingers, at this resolution I can’t tell….

But I guess some of us see it as a grasping hand, and some as gills.

That’s a different hand, and well away from his neck.

Hullo Cleo pals…. and of course puzzledoers, for any cases where the groups don’t overlap, though of course we hope anybody who stops by becomes a Cleo pal!

Yes, today’s puzzle displays a touch of the macabre, especially, to me, in the mother’s (?) tentacle reaching for the little boy.

As some of you are already working on it, and I have to go out, briefly, in a little while, I’m going to go and ahead and post the solution.

But of course you won’t peek till you’ve done your best to solve it.

Not with all those creepy creatures watching you … ready to tell me what you did, and hoping I’ll ask them to help with your discipline…. Bwah ha ha!

….

So find as many as you can….

I recommend nine….

and then…. Click HERE!

I got nine on the first try, unusual for me, but it might be because I’m familiar with the original. It’s normally seen with the tagline “The more you look, the weirder it gets!”

Eight. I got several really quickly, then… nothing. I use the music numbers to time myself, but the last one, with girls and the aircraft carrier, required my full attention :-).

Today’s Songs:
1. ‘Hold The Line,’ 2. ‘Hollywood Nights,’ 3. ‘Honky Tonk Women,’ and 4. ‘Hot Legs,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. Chocolate Spring Rolls’
1. A quote from Steve Lukather (guitarist and now sole original member of ‘ToTo’ / ‘Guitar Player’ magazine, April 1984) :
I flipped the first time I heard myself on the radio. My mom called me up and said, ‘Turn on KLOS.’ It was the song ‘Hold the Line,’ and I started running around the house in my underwear, screaming, ‘I’m on the radio!’ My wife was cracking up. It was just a thrill.
2. Bob Seger was inspired by a drive around the Holllywood Hills and coming home to a Time Magazine with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover.
3. There are at least three different versions of this song (all sung by the ‘…Stones’) written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in December ’68 to January ’69 in Brazil.
4. It’s the beat and tune that attracted me to this song (and still will despite the next) and I never really listened to the lyrics. I read them for the first time today, and believe me, I was stunned as to their content (there are two different last verses depending on which version you’re listening to, so I’ll leave you to look them up rather than providing links).
5. I looked it up; spring rolls may be either baked, deep-fried, or uncooked except for the filling. The filling in this recipe just doesn’t appeal to me.
