You got my curiosity up.
Here is a picture link to an article about the ice cream and the German noble it was named after, Fürst (translates as the title, Prince) Pückler .
There is a recipe for a Fürst Pückler Ice Cream Cake at the end.
Those with titles wielded lots of power back in the day. (I’ve cited a paragraph from the article below).
Fürst Pückler’s personal life today would put him squarely in the sights of the remaining tabloids and TMZ.
“Inspired by the parks he had seen on a trip to England he set out right away to redesign Muskau’s landscape. Whatever did not fit his vision had to make way – the Lusatian Neisse river was redirected, and lakes and hills were moved. Even entire villages were relocated to the dictates of Fürst Pückler’s design.”

Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of Paris version:
Sigh…. and that silky café-au-lait fur, with appropriately dark-roast-arabica-colored ears.
…
Agnes Ayredale seems not as well remembered…. but she was beautiful in her day….
and she became a major star for a while, after this film.
It’s just hard to compete with Rudolph Bassetino… and … you know…. those eyes…. sigh…..
…
As for “The Shake” … it was, while considered racy back then, actually a family-friendly film by today’s standards.
The actual Shake was something for which Bassetino had a magnificent on-screen talent….
though I wouldn’t want him to do it inside my house.
Look at all those towels they’re wearing….
on their heads, draped all over them, tied around their waists…
You’d think they could just dry off with them…
But NO, they just have to shake.
Bassetino could, and often did, soak the whole cast and crew!
I mean…
Dogs.
…
I saw this film MANY years ago… (NO, not actually in 1921, though.)
Probably when I took a couple of film classes in my student days…
Or attended a few silent film festivals at Berkeley theaters.
I didn’t go to the ones at the drive-in cos my dinosaur didn’t like the cold.
….
Things I remember noticing, as my social consciousness was just beginning to bud…
One… the beautiful (white, of course) heroine is captured by an Arab sheik, and forced to do his bidding… which of course makes her fall in love with him..
It doesn’t hurt that he’s the incredibly handsome Rudolf Bassetino.
Nothing in the movies happens to ordinary looking people.
And two… she can’t admit to her feelings for him, until another character tells her that in spite of appearances, he’s not really an Arab dog,
but was an orphan pup, half-British basset and half some European kind of basset, found and raised by Arab dogs… and then it’s OK.
Makes sense, because Bassetino is actually an Italian basset hound, not that we humans can distinguish it.
….
Years later, I was reminded of this movie, which I had mostly forgotten,
when Kevin Costner, in “Dances With Wolves”, a US soldier willingly living with the Sioux, HAS to fall in love, not with a Sioux woman….
but with a beautiful white captive, played by an Irish woman.
There are many other examples, but for some reason I remembered The Shake.
…
The song composed about this movie, afterward, but not for it. “The Sheik of Araby” wasn’t liked much by its composer….
But in spite of his misgivings, became popular all over the world for generations..
Above you can even hear the teenage Beatles’ version!
Thanks. We are reconciled to what was a long time coming. She had three good years after her diagnosis, and the change was abrupt at the end. I would have loved to tell her that joke.
He doesn’t have much of a snout.
definitely snout-challenged
You could call it a different type of “protest song.”
This is so funny.
Your assessment is accurate. 🎯
Extra 1:
That’s Pete Best on the drums.
Almost Beatle Pete Best?
Was a Beatle.
Then he wasn’t, replaced by Ringo Starr.
And George Harrison was singing lead, here.
….
The reason it’s labeled the Decca tapes, is that it’s a demo tape from an audition with Decca that the early Beatles actually failed.
They soon fired Pete, hired Ringo, switched positions, and became… you know… The Beatles, world-wide phenomenon.
Silly Decca.
Chocolate, strawberry or vanilla?
Chocolate, with whipped-cream and a cherry on top.
All of the above; known as Fürst Pückler – behold the German Flag.
You got my curiosity up.

Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of Paris version:
Another version I remembered this morning:
What about the rest of the pack – Rattle and Roll?
Sure, Rudy Bassetino – all sparkly like that – it’s no wonder the ladies were so enamored of him.
Ooh…the legendary Rudolph Bassetino…
those eyes, those deep set lustrous eyes!
Sigh…. and that silky café-au-lait fur, with appropriately dark-roast-arabica-colored ears.

I consider this credit reliable (despite meles being a species of badger).
“Red phone booth and a red tree” By: meles-meles (Taken on Sunday, October 14, 2012 / Oxford)
LINK TO SOURCE
A rare appearance of a phone booth.
Whew.
Clark Kent was starting to get worried.
Vanilla cupcakes.
The Shake has SPARKLIES!
and his nose qualifies for one of those sexy close-up photos, too. (sigh)
Yes, a great poster. And I love the sparklies!
Extra five:
Valentino’s custom hood ornament for his Voisin automobile.
A bit of a shaggy dog, but what the heck.
Brought over from yesterday’s “The Comic Strip…”
This one is for —
Pickled Pete did this one on yesterday’s “Ripley’s….”.
Given her attitude?
She would have loved that. Unfortunately sher passed on a few weeks ago.
I’m so sorry.
I had no intention of hurting you.
May you find comfort from sources in your life.
Thanks. We are reconciled to what was a long time coming. She had three good years after her diagnosis, and the change was abrupt at the end. I would have loved to tell her that joke.
I’m so sorry for your loss. ♥ Too much of that going on these days..
Thanks, P51. True, at my age, I am losing lots of contemporaries.
Blip.
pong
Captain! We have contact!
A blip on the radar!
Yay, PLODS!
Thanks for the effort… if that sounds sarcastic to anybody it’s NOT.
I know there’s gotta be effort involved.

They are onto Cleo, but not a big challenge – yet:
Dropping this kinda late but it’s still worth a look.
