I was going to post it, but you already did….
the last video above.
I remember arguing with a friend about one thing in the lyrics…
Does he mean “I’m a man of means…. by no means, king of the road”, or “I’m a man of means by no means…. King of the road”.
Funny thing is… I can’t remember which side I was on then. But I do think now it’s the latter.
I use a polarizing filter to see down into the water like that. It’s neat what you can see. I have another filter that makes reds/oranges/yellows pop out like that, but I don’t think I can get both on my camera at the same time.
I love Cracker Jack. This is an early 2000’s retro box.
They did a bunch for several years…. I still occasionally buy them cos they’re 3/$1 where I shop…. But I had to make myself not save those retro boxes.
You can tell it’s modern… for one thing, it gives the weight in oz and grams… plus it’s only one ounce.
One “tell” is that it says “the original flavor.” It wouldn’t occur to anybody 100 years ago that it wasn’t.
Original boxes had no pictures, then they had anthropomorphic bears, before the sailor boy …. even though he was in their advertising long before.
BTW… in this century the prizes went straight down the tubes. First they switched from plastic toys (metal was long gone) to paper cards and stickers. For the last 10 years, all you get is a piece of paper with a code to play an online game for children.

Agreed. A comma often represents a pause, but there isn’t one when singing
“…means by no means…”
That said, a lyrics sheet I have has it as:
“I’m a man of means, by no means
King of the road”
But likely not worth arguing about in either case! 😉
Yeah, it’s silly… even though I don’t agree with the lyrics sheet…. Which seems to have chosen my first example above.
I agree that the lyrics, as sung, are not conclusive and have occasionally started that very line of inquiry.
The singer IS a “King Of The Road”, a hobo who knows “every handout in every town”, and is not particularly honest “and every lock that ain’t locked”.
Therefore he is a “man of means (well off)” by no means.
Agreed

More of Vancouver?
Michigan–believe It or not
Not the Vancouver I know…

pre 911 ad
How ironic!
Historic advertising that didn’t age well, a bit like the ones that have doctors recommending which brand of cigarettes to smoke.
Ugly little spud, isn’t he?
Reminds me of the Coneheads from SNL.
It’s the other way round.
Zippy the Pinhead: 1971
The Coneheads: 1977
Um… yes, Zippy was first.
But that doesn’t mean Bulletman has to remind me of the earlier one.
The real “pinheads” in the movie “Freaks” were decades before Zippy…. but I still thought of the SNL Coneheads.
Saint replied to me and the picture of Zippy. Not Bullethead.
And I never implied it should remind you of anything.
That’s what I thought of too!
Nickel comics, nickel heroes.
I guess you get what you pay for.
That’s not nice!
We don’t have to pay for Cleo.

Too bad he couldn’t have used a British bird…
Sing it like it is in real life, “They’ll be Seagulls over, the White Cliffs of Dover….”

Yup…
I was about to give up for the night and he just popped out.
I just hate it when a mouse pops out
Worse than a weasel?
As expected, as a mouse he’s kinda squirrelly.
I wanted more peanuts.
I always wanted less
Candied nuts of any kind has been one of my favorite snacks.

And this….
Was that WW1 advertising?
Pretty sure it was… Looks way too old for WWII…
Also … in the left-hand box under the text, it says in “these times” of advancing costs, it has been necessary to raise the price as of May 1918.
To late for the Spanish American war… which also wasn’t a popular advertising motif anyway.
saw his own reflection
That really got his goat!
I’m gonna guess that he was not pleased with the result of his efforts.
I think he was, he vanquished the other goat he saw in the reflection because he butted it and it disappeared!
That’s what I call Ballin’ The Jill…
Ouch!
the pain sensors probably haven’t hit her brain yet—but it won’t be far behind the ball
I noticed that the hair on the opposite side is already flipping up.
I guess the shock wave already propagated trough her skull. 😀
The label speaks the truth.
You’ll probably get one of these two, seen at the 1953 Mid South Fair.
so, Memphis in ’53—when did he move from Tupelo?
He was born January 8th, 1935.
According to Wikipedia: “Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi; his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was 13.”
So 1948.
I wasn’t sure if it was Elvis or Johnny Cash (or both…)
My Dad could quote the X-rated version of that one.
There was an X-rated version?
I would always have imagined that read in an American accent. but English/Canadian would be correct for RW Service and the Yukon.
