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.
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. 😀
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?
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.
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 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.
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.

A dog in my Beanie weenies might be okay though…
Hoover Dam
Does kinda look like a vacuum cleaner, doesn’t it…
Named after J. Edgar Hoover… and so did he.
More of a shop-vac shape, though.
I believe that was Herbert Hover. :)
Hoobert Heaver.
You’re right.
Did he invent the hover-vac?
I was thinking about a joke, and forgetting about the facts.
Black rock canyon dam.
Boulder Dam to Hoover-haters.

Not a recent picture, I suspect…
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.

..
Yup, thought so…
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.
read that that woman is director Rob Reiner’s mom
Or Carl Reiner’s wife…
,.
“…now, let me tell you how it’s going to be, now that i’m in town…”
Oooooh yeah! Right there! Thaaaaat’s it! Keep it up!
And we’re back to the Meg Ryan shot…
That aught a be dishonest…
That’s worse than the last one.
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.

There’s a tail long enough to be a Russian novel!
😀
Good one.
.,
Sort of a high-altitude relief map of the world.
“Lucy, you’ve got some Spainin’ to do…”
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.

Gosh! Who could they be?
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…
Or I suppose they could be the real Superman (aka Clark Kent), Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and Perry White.
Thx for the details.
‘great Caesar’s ghost!’

You forgot Spotted Dick!
There’s a cream for that.
Susan! 😀
You made me hurt myself.
There’s a cream for that.
find the monkey
I had enough trouble figuring out they were supposed to be lions! (Does finding Mickey Mouse count?)
Got it!
He looks

This
Okay time to quit. I keep seeing a pink Praying Mantis…
Does she bite his head off?
I know it.
I don’t think
She’d rather you remember
,
A London police helicopter caught this image of the Red Arrows on the VE Day celebrations.
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.
In his natural habitat, so it the octopus.
Te pangolin and pinecone is good!
I like them all!
