“The Organ Grinder’s Swing” (1937)
In response to Susan and Tigressy below, I’ve broken up the U.R.L.
The spaces are between:
 
https://www.dailymotion.
 
com/video/x2
and
 
vdlat
 
So now you’ll have to copy, paste, and close the sections…. and then copy and paste that now complete U.R.L. into the address bar.
Why the Dailymotion people have their site programmed the way they do is anyone’s guess, but I agree it’s annoying.
In future I’ll post any U.R.L.s from that site broken up in the first place.

Again!

You post a Popeye cartoon and it plays the moment I open the page.

I hadn’t even scrolled near it, didn’t know it was here.

I heard the music while trying to read earlier posts, and had to come looking for the source!

Not only does it start by itself, even after I turn it off…. after the end it keeps on playing other cartoons!

On my smartphone if not on free WiFi that kind of thing costs me.
Please don’t do that.

Does it happen on your phone?
I thought my tablet was the only one.

I’ve never even heard of it happening before.

I don’t think it’s anything Alexi does…. At least not on purpose.

In fact, I’m pretty sure you can’t do that to someone else’s device.

It might be some kind of weird glitch in how my tablet responds when I link to the website those videos are on….
Or some kind of unknown setting on my tablet.

I’m hoping somebody knows!

I didn’t post it as a complaint… just out of curiosity.

You can actually paste it and remove the spaces right in the address bar of your browser.

Ichthyology quiz! Is she a ray or a skate?

Her outfit looks Romani but I think it’s just the fashion.

The late 19th century saw lots of influence from middle and far eastern motifs, lots of velvet and embroidery, to add to their already ornate taste in decor.

See the small table… With a beautiful fringed shawl…”twig” furniture like that was popular, also lamps, side tables and ottomans made of antlers and even elephant feet (sniffle).

A rather well-to-do family could afford stylish clothing, exotic fabrics, and roller skates…. and probably a photographer to take portraits.

I think I remember this FTND puzzle, and I remember it being particularly tricky. Six.

The humans made a similar movie….

But they couldn’t have a giant human, so they made it about a giant ape!

“King Ape” didn’t have much of a ring to it, and besides, they wanted it to sound more like King Hound, so they named it “King Kong”.
Dopey, right? It doesn’t mean anything.

They wanted a beautiful human actress in it… you know, box office…. so in their poster the ape holds a woman in his hand.

A teeny (by comparison) woman and a giant ape. Horrifying!

Hounds are natural protectors.
King Hound wouldn’t threaten a woman!

….

Anyway…. I found nine differences….

If you want to see them (after you try, of course)…

just click here!

Only eight.

Seven were fairly easy to spot, the eighth was found because I thought there had to be at least one there, and I couldn’t see anywhere else they could be, but I looked straight past the ninth, even though it had to be there as well 🙁

The eighth I found and ninth I missed:
Were in the big lettering.

I don’t know what order yours are in, but the first one of those two, going left to right, was the last thing I found.

The two I missed I wasn’t paying proper attention (which is, of course, the whole point of these puzzles).

I am sure Fluffy would have been very interested in the birds, and heavily invested in any catnip that Mme. might have grown. I wonder if she partook of the cannabis as well, and what effect it might have had. Mellowed out and happy, so she would leave Tweety alone? Munchies?

I’d rather assume she had planted the hemp for the birds – green and seeds.
And herself – I bet there was a tax on tobacco.

Victoria hasn’t been mentioned on the news, but did your sister feel a bit of the Sechelt earthquake yesterday?

I’ll have to ask her.

We usually email or talk every few days, but sometimes not for a week or two.

If she felt it, it probably wasn’t dramatic enough to make her call me immediately with the news.😁

Looks like JP Steve would be more likely to have been affected.

Neat trick, but his steering has got to be badly compromised.
