Okay… this is weird(-ish). I mean, it’s meant to be, because it’s a surrealist painting… but … according to my search..
“In Hairy Locomotion, a girl is kidnapped by a man lurking high above the street, who extends his long beard down around the corner to snatch her up as she passes.”
I didn’t find any mention of the men walking on their beards, but the title suggests that they do.
Varos was one of the few early female surrealists, a contemporary of Dorothea Tanning, who painted yesterday’s trout. They had to fight for a place among the male artists, whose Surrealist. Manifesto (1924) excluded them. They did eventually become well respected in that genre.
Somebody here said almost this the other day about cookies or some other serving size.
You know, I don’t eat as much as I did when I was younger, but even so, I still run into ridiculously small suggestions.
They do it for lots of reasons… one so you think it’s okay to pay $8 for those cookies, because you think you’ll get 16 servings @50 cents. Then you polish off half the bag and realize it cost you $4.
Another is that they don’t want to tell you the sodium, or sugar content, or the calories for the amount you’ll actually eat.
One of my favorites is the label on Ritz crackers. Before you eat that whole “sleeve”…. they say a serving is FIVE crackers.
Do you know anyone who only eats five Ritz crackers?

The end of a very rainy race day at Ascot, 1955.
Most people have left their seats and can be seen leaving the grounds.
Famed photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson spotted this one older man trying to hang on in his seat, with the somewhat futile aid of a folded newspaper.

Wow. I know some men used to go a little heavy on the mustache wax, but this is ridiculous.

“Get away from my girls!”
Isn’t the one who’s giving chase the “girl”?
Strangely, it looks like there are two roosters in back.

The egg looks “sunny side up”, but I think it’s rock hard.
And the bacon is still showing a lot of pink, but it isn’t soft at all.
You need really strong digestion to eat this stuff.

For a moment I thought the camels were little tents or thatched huts.
I think that means bedtime.

This one, IMHO, really does work better small.

At first I thought the greenish stuff was something growing on the shoreline, and this thing was some kind of pier or dock…
But no, it’s the head and snout of a smalltooth sawfish.
I couldn’t find any details for this particular picture.
They can grow to be up to 25 feet long, but most are far shorter, so this snout might be a few feet long.
Of course, that’s enough for me!
I especially liked the one where you could see the engineer twisting the heck out of the rubber band.
Great find H³, they are fantastic.
