The three nearest her are her assistants… One is holding up a pie pan that will soon magically appear in her hands.
Sitting behind, near the cabinets, are her best friend, Avis, and her husband, Paul…. through they’re ready to help, as well, along with providing moral support…
…. which she needed because The French Chef was a new concept in TV programming, and she was nervous.
I remember reading about this debacle, but did not remember that it was in Cleveland.
In a separate but related question, where was it that the river caught fire?
Yes… People used to take it like medicine, advertised for strength and energy.
Trouble is, at least in the US, a lot of it had quite questionable ingredients…. Not the steaks and chops one might hope.
It was one of many products the FDA went after, when it was formed in 1911.
“Meat” is a more generic term than some realize. At least now, when you buy a can of “pasta with meat sauce” it’s supposed to tell you in the ingredients what animals it came from.
Thank you for the hint, but happily, I found him before I peeked. I couldn’t find him when I looked for him, but when I got distracted by some of the picture details, he jumped out at me.
The face isn’t that clear to me, I thought the “beard” was an elbow, raised, with the hand up behind the head. And the full body appears to be wearing a dress.
I’ve had two schipperkes… The first with an ex, for a couple of years…. the second on my own, for much longer.
They don’t seem to understand toys in the same way as other dogs.
…
The first one gave the same reply, I think, as Cleo, but more innocently. She seemed actually unable to understand that a human would throw something, and want it back.
Toss a stick, she’d stare, bewildered.
She had no interest in toys for chasing or anything else, but about twice a year, she’d find every stuffed animal she could, lick them soggy, and lie on the pile.
I was doing toy shows…. A few times she got hold of things I really didn’t want touched. But aside from my having to wash them, she never hurt them.
Her vet said it was a remnant of hormonal behavior. She was spayed very young… before we got her… but twice a year she adopted a litter.
Oh…. I almost forgot. She did chew one toy. No idea why, but she grabbed a plastic teething toy for human babies, that I had bought at a thrift store to sell, because it was Mickey Mouse.
She chewed it for weeks, till I threw it away because I noticed the ears were disappearing. Afterward, she’d sit and stare at the garbage can. I bought her a Mickey mouse dog chew toy. Nope.
…
The second was the dog I usually write about… I adopted her at 18 months, and she lived to be nearly 15.
She, too, mostly had no interest in toys.
Unless…. they belonged to another dog. Visiting, she would snatch them out of other dog’s beds, and run around trying to make them give chase, or chew their rubber toys to bits. At home… zero interest.
But even at home, she would steal, chase, retrieve, and become obsessed with one thing. Tennis balls. No other balls.
At least half a dozen times, on a walk, I’d notice she was suddenly carrying one in her teeth. I kept her on a short leash and never ignored her… so I could never figure out where she got them.
Buddy and Fawn gut plushies. Then, over time, shred the skin. Buddy had a gutted chicken that he carried around a lot. Fawn isn’t much of a toy dog but she will chase a ball. Buddy will also. But neither of them bring the ball back. The toy that has gotten the most use is a knotted rope. Buddy carries it around proudly. And Fawn plays tug of war and takes it away. He likes this. It gets a chasing game started.
Kiki will play with a laser light. So will Buddy. Penelope plays with little fabric balls all day.
She will take one to a favorite place to play, and then play with it. They slide better in the kitchen. She hops up in bed with one and accidentally knocks it off of the bed. The then leaps on it and brings it back up to the bed for another round.
Two observations about that.
When she is carrying the ball around in her mouth she is so cute i want to squeal like a schoolgirl.
When she leaps off of the bed i always seem to see it from behind. Two splayed legs and her tail straight up as she disappears over the edge.
I so wish i could get a shot of that.
Twiggs was given a rubber baseball covered to look like a bee. He took the cover off and carried it around for a while, giving it baths in the water bowl regularly. He hid it so I haven’t seen it lately.

Because of its “improvements” I (without an account) can only go back 14 days (and that’s kind of “sort of.”

Love this silhouetted ant while listening to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Which is he? Or she… I don’t really know how to tell.
The workers in those hives are all female.
Um…. yes…. you don’t see many male ants.
They’re usually few in number, winged, and short lived.
…
But…. sigh…. once again… I was joking…
I guess I didn’t say it well, but when I asked which he was… I meant was he…. or possibly she….. the good, the bad, or the ugly.
She definitely looks like Señorita Bueno
THEM!
The movie I saw about 20 or 30 times at the AF base theater in Libya… not that I wanted to.
But I already told that story.
Happy’s next adoptee?
Nope. I’m full up.
Pull the other one…
He’s already tagged.
But who wouldn’t fall for that face?
This little fella looks quite pleased with himself.
..
The 303 Bookworm! Look at that sucker go!!!
Looks like they had to lace the hills together.
…
No! I said the Wine!!”
I thought they were waiting for food….
But no.

I presume it was a live show. No re-takes. Get it right or go home.
Even taped shows need crew out of frame to make the magic happen…
Mushrooms.
NEVER!!! I won’t touch any food with Athletes-Foot or any relative there-of.
Here, hold my beer…
Balloon disaster in Cleveland
At least they’re not turkeys, like in Cincinnati.
Oh my. Are they attacking?
Nope!
…wow…
Dumb!
I remember reading about this debacle, but did not remember that it was in Cleveland.
In a separate but related question, where was it that the river caught fire?
I thought it was Lake Erie that burned, but I found this interesting video about it; it’s the Cuyahoga River that burned.
I remember seeing something about that on either History or Travel Channel. Ended up closing the airport down due to so many balloons.
Really? Oh, wait, I think there’s a “Leave it to Beaver” comic somewhere in the collection…
by the time comics went to 15 cents, Jerry Mathers was much older than this early photo
,
Awwww!
Google says this is on main street in Shamian Island, Guangzhou, China.
OMG! How cute is that?
That’s what I said!
WW2 sailors’ shipboard sleeping quarters
…shared with someone currently on watch.
Dad slung a hammock!
At least he didn’t have to share it (…or did he?)
No, but he had to roll it up so the next guy could use the space!
The height of refinement and luxury.

Another “awww” situation.
Director’s row
Scorcese had won Best Director, for The Departed, and the other three were the presenters.
as an aside, this was ‘murderers row’
Members of the famous 1927 Yankees: (L-R) Waite Hoyt, Babe Ruth, Miller Huggins, Bob Meusel, and Bob Shawkey.
Where’s Joe Shablotnick?
.
“Ooooh, Right there…”
Looks like someone needs a hug.
Sweet baby.
LOL
Kung-fu toe jam…
Yeah, must be…. I’ve never seen opposable big toes.
so it is!—never noticed that one
where is the Astronomer ?
once you see him…..
Hmm, not tonight.
Fleisch Extract. Meat extract?
Yes… People used to take it like medicine, advertised for strength and energy.
Trouble is, at least in the US, a lot of it had quite questionable ingredients…. Not the steaks and chops one might hope.

Dunno, but his name is “Wo…”
Oh…. It’s not that he’s sad?
(And yes, we know)
You know Wo?
Whoa!
OMG… I gave up… took one final glance…
And I see him!
He’s actually quite well drawn, not a trick at all.
Yup.
Okay…. i don’t want to post the solution, unless somebody wants it, because then it’s tempting to peek, and realize you spoiled your fun.
I’m sure everyone will end up seeing it anyway.
But if you’re feeling frustrated and you really want a hint…
don’t look unless you’re sure you do…
This isn’t the solution, and I didn’t actually use it, but I think this might be a biggish
Thank you for the hint, but happily, I found him before I peeked. I couldn’t find him when I looked for him, but when I got distracted by some of the picture details, he jumped out at me.
Once you see him you can’t unsee him.
Hi! Nice to see you.
Do we know you from GC?
I didn’t get it.
Oops, her, not him; I only found the head.
Same. Face first.
I found the head firstn too….
But why are you saying
Nope.Needed all the help I could get on this one!
Did you try my hint?

I read and loved this poem a long time ago.
I was thrilled when i found this.
