Yul Brynner, in front, then I think Steve McQueen, and in the very back, Robert Vaughn. Pretty sure that’s James Coburn, rear left, standing tall in the white hat.
The other three are Horst Buchholz, Charles Bronson and Brad Dexter.
You’d think I could pick out Charles Bronson, but he must be one of the two with their heads down. Probably Buchholz in back, in the black shirt.
It just reminded me that the first internet browser I ever used, on a computer at the library…. on a black and white monitor, and right before graphical browsers, so everything was in text… was called Lynx.
It took me a while to figure out why!
LOL
In my defense, the Internet was a brand new concept to me, and to most (but of course not all) people, in the early 1990s, and the World Wide Web had just been invented.
They eventually got Alta Vista for a search engine but it was all in text on Lynx, so when it was supposed to show an image it just said [img] and nothing happened if you went there.
Well, do you think there’d ever have been basset scientists, lawyers and merchants… even a basset film industry, making classic movies like Basset Gump and the Great Bassetby…
had there never been basset hounds integrated into the fabric of society for hundreds of years?
I’m sure it was a fine shop, and treated its two and four legged customers with equal courtesy.
It still looked a bit like a normal, Western US downtown at that point…. starting to have some big casinos and hotels, but Fremont Street was still a good place to take the kids Christmas shopping.
A few more hotels and casinos, and it became “Glitter Gulch” … known for its neon and nightlife…. the Las Vegas of movies and TV shows.
But big casinos were already open on the Las Vegas Strip, which is actually outside of town.
When the chocolate shop I worked for in the early 1990s sent the managers to our quarterly meetings in Las Vegas, we stayed twice at the Nugget, downtown… but usually on the strip, often at the Flamingo, which I was told had been, back in the 40s, the first one built with Mob money. Others followed, till by the time I was there, the strip far outshone downtown.
The downtown association was already working on a project to bring people back .. it opened a couple of years after my last trip to Vegas, so I’ve never seen it.
I don’t know the city well enough to say whether the blocks above are included, but probably. A several block stretch of Fremont is now The Fremont Street Experience… a pedestrian mall, with casinos, stores, a canopy and a light show, and live music….

It’s real!!
None other than the Smithsonian Magazine had an article about it.
The Indian, or Malabar, Giant Squirrel, weighing about 4 pounds, is naturally that combination of colors.
I’d seen something about it before. I forgot that they were big.
“Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!”

Seven cowboys, So that must be Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Yup Gotta be
In Mexico, in 1960…

I think Nighthawks must like this movie a lot.

No experiment is a complete loss if you learn something from it.
*The survivors….
Title of the clip is “He learned some science today”. He probably learned some first aid, too.
Well, he had the sense to wear a helmet.

Big Feets!!!

I love big feet and I cannot lie. And these feet would put my basset hounds to shame.
Santa Monica 1915
Looks like he’s dating a raccoon…
Coincidentally, I saved this one a few weeks ago and forgot to post it.
Santa Monica in 1880.
Look how it grew, even in that time.
Between the hardware store and the stationer, is that W.C. Bassett and Co.?
That’s what i see!

Been there. 🙂
I saw it back in October of 2005 soon after my wife and I got married.
Was it weird or fun?
Both! 😀

Eh dudes – we pay for our own clothes, and we’ll shop when we feel like it – so go get knotted.
Exactly!
Or maybe he’s just worried about the amount of time they’d have to spend in that store.
But he wants to get to the bar for the game!

I was already leaning towards the correct answer, but that sure nailed it down.

Another John Leech illustration from the first edition of A Christmas Carol… 1843.

I have my guess.
I see his whole face in my mind from looking at his eyes.
Exactly.
Gotta be!
Just a dragon chilling on the façade of the Neues Rathaus (Town Hall) in Munich, Germany.
Gorgeous.
Being fought by Saint George.
Kitchen Bunny.
And I bet you always thought it was hot water and detergent that cleaned the dishes.
I’m aware that the pre-wash cycle is generally done by the local hound. If the door is left open of course 😉
That is one handsome bunny.
This must be before the wash because that bunny is not exactly spotless.

Lou is very nonchalant.
That’s because he has the Cliffords’ number on speed dial, and Claude’s Visa on file.
That’s gonna be quite a monthly bill.
Girl’s got her charms though! And some nice toys too.
Showed this to my husband and he cracked up, too.
Thanks for brightening our day.
