What’s this? With all the money they made, they still weren’t able to live forever like we wanted them to? Guess there’s no hope for the rest of us, either. Hold your loved ones close and enjoy them while you can.

If you need the names….

they are…

In order….Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef.

You’d think a hospital could spell better! And where did they find the full-body telephone?

I used to go to a doctor’s office where they had several signs in the parking lot saying “Patient Parking Only.”

Of course, being me, I had to ask various people at different times where to park, because I was feeling impatient, or some variation thereof.

You’d think SOMEBODY would have laughed, at SOME point.

It’s a tough world, out there.

Can I get one of those to rub the lineament on my back?

Good idea! My right-side sciatic nerve is trying to seize up and so far I’ve been able to keep it at bay. But I can’t do it forever.

PT , my boy, PT. It took awhile, but my wife is in fine shape now (at least her sciatica is fixed).

Not sure how efficient it would be, with that teeny paintbrush.

I see that you do not need to get a peek into the room to know what’s going on. Just a whiff will suffice.

See how I do…

Spoiler
Ed (Kooky) Burns, Steve McGarrett, Peter Gunn…
Columbo………………………………….Kolchak (I don’t think Mike Hammer smoked cigars…)

Pretty sure the guy at the desk, lower left, is

SPOILER
Efrem Zimbalist< Jr., not Peter Falk.
Next to him is
SPOILER2
Ed “Kooky” Burnes, actor’s name ?? And next to him, that could be Jack Lord (McGarrett),
but I don’t know. The remaining two, JP Steve probably is right. At least he has a clue. BTW, those first two tell me that the show is
SPOILER3
77 Sunset Strip.

Um …this is the cast of one show, not a collection of actors from various other programs.

Liverlips is right,

in that the show is
77 Sunset Strip

And that

the first two are…
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Edd Byrnes (not Burns.) Byrnes is the actor… The character is simply called Kookie.

I remember the third actor, too.

His name is …
Roger Smith. I believe he was supposed to be the handsome guy for those too old for Kookie. But he’s not Jack Lord. .

Ok… I couldn’t remember the other two, so I just gave up and googled it…

they are ..
Richard Long, and Louis Quinn.

Quinn does look a bit like Darren McGavin, aka Mike Hammer, but maybe a bit… goofier? Less like a leading man.

And the octopus signifies…?

Looks to be leather. Maybe a bridle or something similar? Possibly signifying a kid who came off of the ranch / farm and moved to the “big city” to try to better himself. Gets lonely out there, trying to fit in.

Whatever that thing is… And I’m not convinced it’s an octopus or leather… It has translucent or sheer sections draped over the windowsill between the solid ones.. plus at least a couple of things sticking up, almost like ears, but not really. And a truncated bit just above the legs or straps.

And what are the odd shaped cut-out things at the fellow’s feet?
And why is this building lying crosswise to the street, with cars about to hit it? They don’t look like they’re parking… And one is in the wrong lane.

Some sort of AI fantasy, is my guess.

That doesn’t really say anything, except that you can buy it.

No information about the artist or the subject, or whether it’s AI. They call it boho, but I wouldn’t, would you?

It doesn’t even say it’s supposed to be Tucson, only that it’ll remind you of Tucson.

Sorry, but I don’t really see why this is a “puzzle”.

It tells you what you’re looking for.
Then there’s no attempt to hide or disguise it…. if you just look at every avocado, you’ll see it.

The avocados are cute, though.

I guessed the actor even before I scrolled down to see the name on the board. He aged pretty well after that.

Western Australia’s longest beach, Eighty Mile Beach is located in the Kimberley Region (Looking South).

Is it really 80 miles long…. or is it just a name, like foot-long hot dogs, which are about 9 or 10 inches long?

Or the Miracle Mile, in a nearby city, that’s anywhere from half a mile to a mile and a quarter, because nobody seems to agree on where it starts or ends.

Of course, very little nomenclature can surpass the hyperbole of the 1000-year egg… the Chinese delicacy also known as the 100-year egg, or the century egg, which is usually about 2 months old.

Measured on Google Earth it’s anywhere from 70mi* to over 115mi; it’s hard to determine the end points.

*These are straight line measurements, there’s actually a significant curve to it so it’s longer than this.

There are (IMHO idiots called…) storm chasers and tornado chasers who do it for the thrill.

Adrenaline junkies who get a rush from being close to danger, especially life-threatening danger.

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be the one to comment… I don’t even know why people drive race cars or ski down steep slopes.

I have to confess, though it’s been years, that I’ve still never seen this movie.

Everybody said Tarhound Basseton was about to become a big star…. and that he makes a wonderful Elhound John… but I haven’t heard anything about him since.

I wonder whether he did his own howling. Probably not, since there are so many actual recordings they could have used. (I should have googled it before I commented.)

It’s got to be hard to act the part of a living dog…. especially a living legend… knowing that the eyes and nose of the real Elhound… or whoever you’re playing… will be sizing you up.

I heard there was a human version as well…. about Elton somebody or other who was a singer, rather than a howler.

And I’ve never heard anything more about the human who played him, either.
