Standing in back, John Candy and Martin Short … takes me back to remember when the latter used to do that to his hair! In front, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, and Eugene Levy, who also looked pretty different in those days.
In case anybody else is as confused as I was, at first….
Amity Island
is the fictional New England beach town where.the events of “Jaws” took place.
I didn’t remember that, and didn’t recognize it, I believe,
partly because….
the artist who did this poster seems to draw well, but not excel at catching likenesses.
I didn’t recognize the caricatures of Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider, which would have immediately given it away, in spite of my forgetting the name of the town
Which I did, so yes, I’m not saying it isn’t mostly my own fault.
the Nor’easter folks certainly are cashing in on a 50 year old movie…..but I guess that’s not surprising with all the interest in ‘Wizard of Oz’ as retained all these years
It’s funny… I thought they were well drawn, if this makes any sense… But I didn’t recognize them.
It was late, and I was tired… even so, I usually recognize a lot of the celebrity pictures posted here… tried. Certainly Richard Dreyfuss.
Yet I was staring at these drawings wondering whether I should know who they were.
I only realized when I read that Amity Island was from Jaws, and looked at them again.
…
The other thing is, I’ve only seen Jaws once, way back when it was new… I liked it, but I’m not a huge fan.
So I didn’t remember the characters’ names either, which would have helped.
It’s not like I can help it, or I intended to be critical.
I just thought someone else might be confused too.
Edited later… I just got home and looked at my post… I can’t believe I wrote Dustin Hoffman instead of Richard Dreyfuss!
I don’t know where my brain was wandering… I’ve always known it was Richard Dreyfuss, even in the caricature I didn’t recognize at first…
How did Dustin Hoffman show up on my post??
In the UK, flapjack means something totally different from a pancake.
It’s a chewy, sweet oat bar, like a cross between a bar cookie and a granola bar… usually as in the above recipes, but without the raspberries, which seem like they’d make it soggy.
They were around long before most of us knew about granola, much less granola bars…. but I don’t know which came first, British flapjacks, or American use of the word for pancakes.

Alexi posts recipes from British and Canadian sources, without considering that we might have different cooking terms, and available ingredients from the UK. Canadian recipes can be in between.
Types of sugar, different sorts of syrup, cuts of meat, grilling vs broiling… the list is long.
Also, most of us don’t use metric measurements or temperatures, and we tend to use volumetric measures, like cups and tablespoons, when they use weights. Even their pints and quarts are a different size from ours.
…
Luckily I have English friends of long standing, and an English cookbook or two, so I can usually interpret.
But I don’t think in metric, and neither do my English friends, because they left England before it was common, and by now they’re used to our measures anyway.
We rarely use the term “quart” over here, we’ll just say ‘two pints’. I watch several US youtube channels about cars and machinery, and often hear the people on them, when checking the oil on an engine, “It looks about half a quart low.” I have to restrain myself from saying to the computer “Well, that’ll be a pint then.”
I can’t imagine anyone here saying “a pint of oil”, because it comes in quart containers, and you’re actually, I think, referring more to the container than the measure.
They even say a quarter of a quart, though rarely, cos such a small amount doesn’t matter so much… but never a cup.
It carries over even to mechanic shops that buy it in bulk… though I’ve noticed my mechanic uses branded quart containers.
For cooking, recipes will often say 8 cups of water instead of 2 quarts… Never four pints.
You also drink in pints… an American bar offers “glasses” and, for groups, “pitchers” of beer, both of undetermined volume.
And of course, your quarts, and pints are bigger than ours, your ounces a bit smaller. A US half a quart of oil is less than a British pint.
And a British pint of beer is almost twice the glass you get here.
This is

Not too late to attend the 50th anniversary!

Wow, it’s sold out, so I can only guess at how much the tickets went for.
I’m sure it wasn’t $20.

respectfully disagree that this artists’ caricatures don’t catch likenesses. I thought they were outstanding–all of ’em

hm…yes, if you’d seen Jaws dozens of times like I did, then those characters would have been instantly recognizable
Oops I accidentally thumbed your comment down, but I think I fixed it. Should be up now.
It’s easy to touch the wrong thing on this tablet…
And sometimes my “likes” don’t work the first or second time, either.

I suspect a story here…

“Mine. All mine.”
So did he win?
Actually, I believe she did…. though it was hard to find a conclusive answer.
Must of the results I found were in other languages… not even ones I could tease any meaning from, being written in non-Roman alphabets.
But I did find a couple captioned in English where all it said was something like “I’m glad she still won!” And “Rolling for the win!”
But one said “Judges are waiting for the photos, to see whether she stepped into someone else’s lane.”
Apparently that’s a disqualification… but rolling across the finish line isn’t.
I wonder what percentage of the race you’re allowed to roll!
Of course, but it’s also true that two of the borders don’t match the other three.
kinda easy , huh?
Apparently not!
Sorry… But the actual difference
Is that #3 is different, because the eye holes are “backwards”. They point to the middle instead of outwards.
Very poor puzzle in my opinion both Susan and Liverlips observed valid differences.
Answer: Mask number three doesn’t belong. On all the other masks, the pointed side of the eyes aims outward.
I posted my first comment without a spoiler because I said it was something “also” true… but not the difference.
The actual difference is what I posted to Liverlips before I saw your post… But it’s the same.
I didn’t post that, because I thought it was so obvious.
I guess it’s not!
Sorry.
It’s true… it’s a poor puzzle that has two many extra differences.
You can tell this doggie was a goofball.

surely SOMEbody is curious as to what this is–I mean besides me
The picture (another view) is a link to an article about these caves.
That is an ice cave. Under a glacier.

not until you slab some butter and dump a pint of maple syrup on it
Solid evidence that animals care about one another (the humans aren’t bad either).
Someone’s programming is not quite right (but it must have been fun building those things).

Yes, Claude… I imagine you do feel a great big “Confound it, Cleo!” welling up in your chest…. rising up from the very depths of your being.
You feel proud, and masterful… so powerful… ready to tame the savage beast.
It’s too bad you don’t feel quite enough power to walk over there and take the weapons away from two small animals.
Okay, one smallish but mean animal, and one sturdy one that’s probably… oh, maybe only a third of your weight, but stubborn.
Still… You’re human.
Cartoon human, but nonetheless, supposedly in charge.
Who buys the kibble in your house?
Never mind… You’ll never get it.
I suppose it’s not your fault. Like Jessica Rabbit… you’re drawn that way.
Claude thanks you for understanding
