This is what you get when you bury your face in the belly of your food! I cook mine first, but then all holds are off! Let’s wallow in that smoked pork belly!

The     “U.S. SUN’S”     article about this photograph.
Again, as my earlier “National Geographic” post below, a minor warning that the article contains more pictures that depict nature in the raw.

OMG… I thought that was a headset on the driver, with music or something… the resolution isn’t great.

But I noticed some stuff falling on him, and finally made out what it says… It’s giving him a haircut!!!

Aaagh!!

Thank you! !
With that information, I finally made its brand name, printed on the side as you said, come out to “HIWAY HAIRCUT” as well.

P.S. (from yesterday and your answer to my “….and another thing.” comment about the MINDBENDER puzzle)
Allowing no overlap at all between new and old prescriptions, 1,008 prescriptions were issued that week.
The mathematics work out to:
Open 24 hours a day 7 days a week: 1 prescription would be issued every 10 minutes
Open 12 hours a day 7 days a week: 1 prescription would be issued every 5 minutes
Open 8 hours a day 7 days a week: 1 prescription would be issued every 3 minutes and 20 seconds
And I just worked out 5 days a week: 1 prescription would be issued every 2 minutes and 22.857142857142857142857142857143 seconds
 
Again, Britain’s National Health Service site strongly implies that each GP surgery is only the practice of one doctor.
Keep him/her away from me.

Thanks for answering, but you still haven’t said what that has to do with the algebra problem, or why the flaw that I found might not apply.

I get that they issue a lot of prescriptions… I haven’t compared that with how many are stated in the problem.

But the numbers given are what we’re working with to solve it.

If the teacher gives you a problem that says “if one apple weighs 9 ounces, how much would three apples weigh?” the answer is 27 ounces, no matter what you know or have to say about the usual weight of apples, and how likely it is for an apple to weigh nine ounces.

Made by Courtland.

One site says 1962, another, 1950s.

Currently listed, with the original box, on eBay….

Which is not to say they’ll get it, but they might.

The big metal thing is the bell, which he rings with that metal pole as it moves. I wonder if that has anything to do with reality.

Maybe you want to avoid them??? Not piss them off??? I’ve known some people like that, although not quite so toxic, just annoying!

Here is a National Geographic video.
Minor warning:
At the 50 second mark a snake is shown striking and killing a wild rodent, and the photography while interesting, is graphic.
The video then goes on to show the capture of a black mamba which invaded a house in South Africa.
The snake handlers know what they’re doing but why they are not at least wearing boots and gloves, I don’t know.

I’m OK with killing it, rather than releasing it. Why’d it have to be snakes?

It helps to blow it up.

Hint 1 – you are looking for
A mug, roughly to scale with the penguins

Location
Half visible at the bottom of the rise, 2 penguins in from the right border.

You posted while I was making my image… hope you don’t mind that I’m leaving it.

There’s only one cup of cocoa, so we must have found the same one

but…
I’m not sure what “rise” you mean… And to me he’s fully visible, and has two penguins to the right of him, so he’s 3rd from the right.

Oh! Sorry…. Today I see the rise you were talking about.

For some reason, last night my eyes took it for something on the ground.

I was just trying to make sure we were finding the same penguin, since you said yours was half visible.

Not nice of him to bogart that hot drink!

Don’t worry, I found him…

Maybe you can make him share!

He’s circled… er… squared… in purple.

The green arrow points at a fish another one should be sharing!

Can’t. It is so cold that the (formerly) hot chocolate has frozen solid in seconds.

This abandoned church in Indonesia is supposed to be a dove.
In translation, the locals call it the “chicken church.”
Daniel Alamsjah, its Christian builder, envisioned it as a place open to all religions.
The attachment shows its location.

I’m thinking this place is to chickens as Mecca is to Muslims. It is their sacred duty to travel to it at least once in their lifetime.

“Call Me Anna,” her autobiography created more than a bit of controversy when it was released on New Year’s Day in 1987.
The miracle of her life is that she won 3 Emmy’s and an Oscar while living with an undiagnosed mental illness, and the child abuse heaped on her from a young age.

I can find no artist credited (nor a reliable title), but one site claims it is an Android device wallpaper.

A bit gloomy in this light. I’ll bet it’s great on a spring morning. Is that little shack in the back of the picture an outhouse? Brrrrr!

My first thought was a lean-to for firewood, but it seems to be a bit far from the cabin.

Cleo, I mean Lassie, made me laugh out loud… I love it.

SusanSunshine

If Cleo were Lassie, it would have been a totally different show.

Maybe something about a dog teaching a boy to defy authority… and probably the disappearance of wildlife in the area.

They try to pin it on the dog, but she somehow convinces them of her innocence, with her big brown eyes.

Besides, she’s funny, and you can get away with a lot with humor.

Gino Boccasile’s artwork always created the atmosphere he wanted.
The wartime propaganda posters leave you in no doubt about his feelings about the allies.
His civilian advertising posters are great examples of commercial art at its best.
As always, keep ’em coming!
