It’s the names, the spot-on character impressions… and details, like Lois’ veil, and like Sylvester’s halo falling, in cartoon fashion.
And the joke at the end… cos it’s true. Those #$@! superheroes never do clean up the mess they make!
Bashed cars on the street, bent rifles littering the sidewalk… and poor old Granny, who’s going to be in big trouble with her landlord, as well as freezing in the winter, if no one helps her out.
Didn’t refresh in time to see yours before I started typing.
You know, I think she probably got the cheetah a bit younger… but in London, I’ve read that you could buy both fashionable furs and fashionable exotic pets at Harrods.
American actress Phyllis Gordon with her 4-year-old pet cheetah, window shopping in London, in 1939.
She starred in both silent and sound films, from the early 1920s through 1941…
but she still had the cheetah for a long time after that, cos when searching this image I saw obviously later ones.
I read that she also startled other patrons at an iowa restaurant in the 1940s, when they noticed a marmoset in her handbag.
Today we consider keeping exotic animals pretty much a form of abuse, but they didn’t understand that, back then. She was considered quite an animal lover.
However, it still seems a bit cavalier, IMHO, to wear a huge fox around one’s neck, while walking one’s cheetah.
Those meatballs in the middle don’t look like any pictures of Haloumi that I can find, but they sure look tasty! Call them what you want, I won’t throw them off my plate.
I used to go to two different Greek festivals every summer, both now defunct, and a long-closed Greek restaurant (with an all you can eat buffet on Sundays!)
Plus I used to spend a lot of time with my ex husband’s family, and one of his sisters-in-law and her mother would bring Greek food to family gatherings. I really miss it all!
As for the haloumi, that’s on the dish below the label. The Loukoumades aren’t pictured… they might be cut off the bottom.
The Greek meatballs I know are called keftedes, and they’re really good. Those are probably keftedes in the picture, but somebody goofed and they’re not labeled.
I thought at first this was just a freak accident, but when the guys started cheering, then it was plain that ‘men will be men, but mostly they will be boys’
Oh yeah…. I can’t always follow gifs, but in this one they’re not stupidly swinging the camera around, so I can mostly catch it.
One guy puts the ring on towards the inside of the flywheel, the other guy waits a moment before he starts sliding it outwards, while it gathers momentum, and then off it goes.
There’s no time where it looks to me like they’re trying to center it or keep it in place.
Yeah, they’ve removed the exhaust. It would normally just be a pipe straight up, but for the revs it looks like they’re running they’ve removed it to let the engine breathe easier.
French Lunch.
I never tasted white sliced bread before starting school and only then because all the other kids had PB+Jelly sandwiches and I wanted to be like them. I quickly went back to the French bread my mom would pack for me.
I think you have to decide how blond you mean, before you could say the majority of some of those yellow areas are “blond”.
Scandinavia, yeah… And sure, there are lot of blondes further south… But a majority?
I have, and have had, quite a few English friends over the years, including two ex boyfriends (years apart and a total coincidence)…. my closest female friend of 50 years and her husband are from Manchester and Carlisle, respectively, which are both Northern cities.
I can’t think of a blonde among them! Is that just coincidence?
But three that I’m picturing, and also my brother, who was definitely not English, had the sort of hair they preferred to call blond, but the rest of us might call mousey brown. If that’s the blond they mean, ok.
I wasn’t counting people who were blonde as children… Maybe they are on this chart, but if so, not enough.
That would double or triple the number in a lot of populations.
Both my siblings and my (not biological) Dad were towheaded well into childhood, but only my brother had light (ish) hair as an adult.
In Mexico, and occasionally even in Libya, you see blond little. Mexican or Arab kids, up to maybe 5 years old, but their hair is uniformly dark afterward.
I’ve thought it was funny that my mother had bright red hair till her teens, and my sister’s hair was pale blonde, while mine was almost black when i was born… but we all had the exact same very dark brown hair color as adults, with a quite reddish tone in the sun.
I started looking. I don’t know what OS you’re running, but ran across this site that claims to work the way you might want it to. https://www.msftnext.com/how-to-pause-gif-animation-on-windows-10/
I already have GIMP, but never tried it. I hacked around with it on Tired Lions, and it seemed to work, although it didn’t seem very friendly as far as actually playing the gif straight through. All I found without looking for directions was a frame-by-frame way to step through the gif. I hope one of these will help you to deal with the camera jitter a bit. Had some surgery on my nose today, so I’m not feeling all that energetic to try very much.
Whoa… I suppose that’s true, but a slight exaggeration.
The McDonald brothers opened a small restaurant in 1940, but it was McDonald’s Barbecue Stand.
It took them years to start selling hamburgers, and more years to invent their speedy business model that Ray Kroc eventually bought into, then bought them out.
It wasn’t a national chain till the 1960s, which is when the first one opened in Madison, Wisconsin, and, at the risk of showing my age, I remember it!
Its 15¢ hamburgers and fast service almost drove my father’s favorite hamburger stand out of business.
We, and others, went to McDonald’s instead, till they reduced their 25¢ burgers to 20¢ or 6 for a dollar, and we went back, cos theirs were worth the extra nickel. But not, according to Dad, an extra dime.
just in case…
First time I’ve seen this one.
This was one of the best ones ever!
I love Superbasset…. but it’s not only that.

Math class?
yes!–don’t know where this is, but it’s a great teacher
A protracted math class. I’ve attended a few of those!
It’s outside the classroom, in the hallway.
Maybe the teacher’s way of saying come on in and learn a few new angles.

“…and your enemies closer…”
There he is, fellas! Let’s all jump him together!

I wonder if her cheetah caught that critter she’s wearing?

I’m so glad it says not to stack them.

Wow, a feast!

Men will be men all over the world.
Definitely removed the governor from that engine, they normally do about 1500 revs tops.
I thought at first this was just a freak accident, but when the guys started cheering, then it was plain that ‘men will be men, but mostly they will be boys’
The guy with the stick pushing the tyre off of the flywheel indicates (To me anyhoo) that this was intended.

And the exhaust. I don’t even see a manifold. Just fire shooting out of the side of the block.
Yeah, they’ve removed the exhaust. It would normally just be a pipe straight up, but for the revs it looks like they’re running they’ve removed it to let the engine breathe easier.

I’m surprised how many I don’t recognize!
Me TV is a “Classic TV” network.
But I have the same problem with recognizing some classic TV that I do with making myself understand today’s vintage clothing stores….
What’s considered vintage in 2026 includes stuff from the two-thousand-teens…. all of which I have to sharply remind myself are not brand new.
I was too old for them when they came out, but they’re quite nostalgic to someone born in 2006.
And no, people born in 2006 are not still in diapers. They drive cars. Some, though IMHO they’re too young, already have babies in diapers.

French Lunch.
I never tasted white sliced bread before starting school and only then because all the other kids had PB+Jelly sandwiches and I wanted to be like them. I quickly went back to the French bread my mom would pack for me.
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.
Yes… or should I say oui.. according to search, l this was taken in Paris, in 1945.
The war was over… Times were still hard, but at least a Parisienne could safely walk home with the essentials.
,.
,
Pretty sure I recognize most of them… Some only because I’ve seen that particular picture of him or her.
I’ll give you
Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld… I think Kirk Douglas
Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman (?), Candice Bergen
John Belushi, I dunno… I think Eddie Murphy(?)
Looks familiar but I dunno, Cher, Clint Eastwood (it also looks a lot like David Bowie, but I’m pretty sure it’s Eastwood)
Tomorrow I’ll try to search it, but right now I’m half asleep…
And till then, you guys can laugh at me if I’m wrong.
I dunno= Burt Reynolds
The first I dunno, right?
I still dunno the 2nd.
And I still gotta search to see what’s incorrect.
I never could find a definitive list, just commenters giving opinions.
But from that, they seem to be all correct, including Voxx’s addition…
And only a few people labeled my 2nd unknown, #10. Two said it was Sonny Bono.

My wife (Irish, English, German) started out as a towhead. Now it’s closer to a light brown (with maybe a bit of gray, but who’s noticing). 😉
I wasn’t counting people who were blonde as children… Maybe they are on this chart, but if so, not enough.
That would double or triple the number in a lot of populations.

My gray isn’t on that list.
Um…. neither are brown, red or any other color, cos it’s not a list… only a map of blondes.
But believe me, a significant percentage of the world has grey hair, and it’s probably getting higher, cos the planet’s population is aging.
We just weren’t usually born that way. 🙂
And a lot cover it up.

“I’m home! I let the dog out!”
I’m impressed he managed to get the bike turned around ready to go out!
This is one I can’t follow.
I understand slow panning, which is difficult enough for my eyes to follow… But really, is it that hard not to also shake the camera?
Or do people do that on purpose?
