I see “Brunch” on there. Do they take dogs? I’m so hungry already that I could eat a dead squirrel, but a steak would be a good start. What else do they have?

I wouldn’t eat someplace that would take dogs… I’d want to keep my dog.

Besides, I’d be afraid of what they do with them… I wouldn’t want to find out there was dog in my chili.

….

Meanwhile, though… I think that’s an old desktop publishing program. The word “brunch” is being used to display a font and style you can choose for a header.

A dog in my Beanie weenies might be okay though…

Named after J. Edgar Hoover… and so did he.

More of a shop-vac shape, though.

You’re right.
Did he invent the hover-vac?

I was thinking about a joke, and forgetting about the facts.

You know the story? That somehow during the early surveying the names of the two cannons got mixed up. (How the hell does that happen?!) They actually built Bolder Dam in Black Rock Canyon, not in Bolder Canyon.
After hearing that, it’s been Black Rock Dam to me. 😀

I was just going to say the same thing.

Going by the clothes and cars… I’m guessing 1953.

Unless somebody thinks that white Chevy(?) is a ’54.

It appears to me as though that image has grown appreciably larger in the hours since I first saw it. So my first question is: Do I need to describe this as a symptom during my visit with my eye MD in July?
On the other hand, if the image has in fact been enlarged, does this help its recency?

Yes… In the famous scene where she’s sitting in a cafe, making a point by faking having an… um… a… good time.

A very good time.

May we assume these are counterfeits? Knock-offs sold for a fraction of the price? Which, I might add, is dishonest and illegal.

I’m pretty sure it’s a real Oreos tin.

They’d never get away with selling a fake with the actual name.

Nabisco lawyers have very long arms.

Besides, a couple of years ago I saw very similar ones, in a different design…a Christmas one. Supposed to look retro and nostalgic, even though nothing like that existed in the past.

They were so overpriced, because of the tin, that when they showed up way cheaper, as a closeout at Grocery Outlet, they were still much too expensive for the weight of cookies inside.

And they were very small tins… pretty useless when empty.

Hard to tell in the picture, but if this one is the same size, I don’t think another stack would actually fit in the center.

Looks like what would happen if you baked that part of the world to a crisp.

A crunchy Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with nothing but salt and sand left of the dried out seas.

Sure makes you wonder what would have happened if that choke point was blocked and broke through thousands of years ago so the Mediterranean emptied (or filled). What kinds of myths and legends would have been handed down before written descriptions of events existed?

I don’t recognise any of them, it’s obviously from a version not shown here in the UK.
Fortunately (For me) SusanS has posted a Spoiler.

It ran in the mid 1950s, and was very popular.

He was Superman to a generation of American kids.

I used to watch the program and I couldn’t have named any of the actors ( I should have known the Superman actor, though) but I did know who all the characters were.

Well…

they COULD be…
George Reeves, Jack Larson, Noel Neill, and John Hamilton.

Or I suppose they could be the real Superman (aka Clark Kent), Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and Perry White.

He looks

more like…

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse’s to predecessor ….
star of Walt Disney’s first cartoons at Universal, before a contract dispute caused Disney to leave, start his own studio, and invent Mickey.

Also just as much like a lot of various old cartoon cats, mice, rabbits, etc, as a monkey.

I don’t think

she…
Jennifer Grey (daughter of Joel Grey, who, among other things, played the multilingual emcee in Cabaret)
would like to hear that she looks like a praying mantis!

She’d rather you remember

that she’s…
dancing with Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

Wow! What kind of sloppy flying did they do back there at the top of the picture before they straightened it out?

(Yes, I’m kidding. That’s some really great formation flying). I’ll bet they did some incredible maneuvers after that!

Love the lovers, this time too.

And it’s not every day you see a pangolin in the comics.

Actually, it’s not every day you see a pangolin anywhere.
Poor things are very endangered.

I hope he finds a real pangolin mate. Pine cones are pretty but they won’t help increase the population.

Come to think of it… the tortoise probably won’t have much luck either.
I have a feeling he’s about to get the cold shoulder.

And the octopus’choice is all wet.
