This is a situation we in the basset community call “flat basset“. As in “This walk is over. I’m done.” Typical resolutions are 1) drag the offending lump home or 2) pick the blob up and carry it.
Many years ago, I played on an organized softball team. One of our players, Glenn, who loved things that were silly and goofy, brought to one of our games a life-size portrait of a small dog shown in profile. The image was either mounted or printed on heavy grade cardboard, and had fold in/out flaps that would allow you to “stand it up” outside. We must have won that game, because the dog became our mascot the rest of the season, and Glenn brought him to every game. Glenn named him: Flat Gordon.
They’re participants in a long hair competition in Lithuania.
The length is not the only criteria for winning, obviously, or everyone would give up.when they see a longer-haired contestant.
Theres a segment on costume, and a few other measures.
Hair is symbolic in traditional Lithuanian culture, though not every woman there keeps hers long.
It’s about… let’s see… vaguely 1¼ to 1½% even wowier, because they’re all a year older than that now…. the actual now, since “NOW” in the graphic was a year ago.
I get the feeling that it’s pushing a few benefits… or one in particular… that it doesn’t dare mention specifically.
One that’s not for the kiddies.
Meanwhile, “Battle Creek” was a selling point… Having the factory, or at least the mailing address, in Battle Creek Michigan was almost but not quite like calling it a medical device, though some might relate it to quackery.
That was famously the home of Battle Creek Sanitarium, the place where CW Post and the Kellogg Brothers invented their competing cereals, and it was a location that helped “health food” get its foothold in America.
So of course, this purchase would be aboveboard and wholesome, no matter the side effects.
Painted by the renowned illustrator NC Wyeth… who not only was famous for his work in classic books and magazines, but surprisingly, for advertisements as well.
As he got older, he chastised himself for “selling out”… but it certainly put bread on the table. He was the father of painter Andrew Wyeth.

I still cannot tell that story audibly without giggling
Always bring one of those:

He’s doing it wrong! He always has to put his hat on backwards!

Auditions for the role of Cousin It on The Addams Family?

Why doncha come up and see me some time?

I know, but WOW!
Sobering. I need a drink.
It’s about… let’s see… vaguely 1¼ to 1½% even wowier, because they’re all a year older than that now…. the actual now, since “NOW” in the graphic was a year ago.
For instance, 76 is 1.333% older than 75.

Um, yeah. I can see how that might be fun to ride…
Probably lots of (expensive) fun as a prop for the kids.

In what city is Michigan Ave. located? And what is the meaning of the three red “100”‘s?
Chicago…. It’s the main thoroughfare, or at least it was, and part of it is the most famous shopping district in the city.
The Art Institute is also on Michigan Avenue.

An unwelcome sight, no doubt. As it would be for anyone.

It’s true. You can’t overestimate the extent of ignorance among the human race.
Please pass that pizza box over here.

Is he food yet?
What does this cat think they’re doing?
What do they think they’re doing?
Picking off fleas, maybe?
Or are they too tiny to bother eating?
Harvesting hair for their nests?

Which one did Snoopy hang in his doghouse?
He had an original Van Gogh… but something happened. A fire?
Then I think he had an Andrew Wyeth later.
Yup! He lost a lot in the dreadful doghouse fire…
find the doggie
Okay. What do I do with him? Walkies? Cheese?
Cheese is always an option with my pair.
Nighthawks made me solve it…. LOL.
So just in case you want
I mean, I always solve them… I just don’t always upload my solutions, cos everybody seems to find them anyway.
Bunnies!
And one doggie!
But why do all the bunnies have two sets of ears?
bunny-ear head bands…
I could find a NSFW version…
Yeah, if you guys really buy the bunny act, they’ll know they can sell you some property at the north pole.
How about “Find one that is definitely NOT a doggie?”

For years my seven-digit phone number was like that: 830-5038. I finally changed numbers though because the only calls I got were for my ex-wife.
….
Please tell me that’s snow and will eventually go away…
How did it get up to the first floor?
Unless you’re pulling our leg, if it’s in the US, the ground floor is considered the first floor, so 100 would be at porch or entry level.
But it does look very like an apartment door, which would usually be inside a hallway…
Agreed. Maybe the roof had a hole in it??? A really, really big hole??!!

I respect Claude’s dedication to understatement.

He somehow manages to look like a Roman in a toga.
Which is why I had to check, it’s been many years since I saw the film.
Vermilion Flycatcher.
Where does it find vermilion flies?
Ooh… maybe in Vermillion, South Dakota?
Or the Red Sea?
Clara! Claude!
I know it’s against your nature… but you must act now.
Otherwise Cleveland could one day face armed insurrection, by the pets they’ve always trusted.
And guess whose dog would have set the possibility in motion.
Maybe she only wants to hunt squirrels and cats…. but she’s lighting a dangerous fire.
Yeah, I know… it’s probably time for your nap.
