I believe it wasn’t a whole program… “Kids Say the Darnedest Things” was a segment of his hour-long show, “House Party”, during which my Dad would leave the room, or grumble about little brats.
There was a whole program based on it, later, hosted by Bill Cosby, which seemed somehow much less spontaneous.
Using United States volumes and the United States’ value for trillion, and ignoring the “over” and using only 3 trillion gallons as the volume of Lake Superior (and the big “if”: have I done my mathematics correctly?)…
A U.S. gallon is 0.133681 cubic feet
That works out to 0.51131660329 feet per side
The cube root of 3,000,000,000,000,000 gallons works out to 144,224.95703074083823216383107801cubic gallons per side.
144,224.95703074083823216383107801 cubic gallons / side × 0.51131660329 feet / side = 73,744.615138604609517157378533602 feet ∴ (again if I’ve done my mathematics correctly) 3,000,000,000,000,000 U.S gallons works out to a cube 13.966783170190266954007079267728 miles on a side.
Depending on how big “over” is the sides will lengthen accordingly.
The north American Indian dog was black. It’s said that that they gave the black wolf of the north plains its color. But the Indiandog had a heftier coat than the Xolos.
Characters, all. I wonder how many of them got “Best Supporting Actor”, or at least “Best Sidekick!” If this is the list that I think it is, they left out one of my favorites: Jack Elam.
Yeah… Some of these are what I’d call stars, but most are character actors.
I see the faces and I say I know this guy or that guy, maybe even a role he played… but not his name.
If I saw the list of names I’d probably say the same thing… I know them but can’t put a face to most of them.
…
However…. I’m pretty sure i do know three, coincidentally lined up…
The very left hand column… Top left, Walter Brennan, below him, Strother Martin, and below him, that’s Burl Ives.
That guy to the far right of Burl Ives, at the right-hand edge, who would be almost baby-faced if it weren’t for the heavy eyebrows and mustache, has played so many villains, and I can’t think of his name!
The Native American fellow may be Chief Dan George, looking a bit unwell.
And I think the center bottom guy is Ward Bond… later of Wagon Train, with gray hair.
I totally recognize the faces on either side of him but I’m drawing a blank.
Walter Brennan, L.Q. Jones, John Doucette, Chief Dan George, Robert J. Wilke
Strother Martin, Dub Taylor, Slim Pickens, Paul Fix, Rex Holman
Burl Ives, Arthur Hunnicutt, Hank Worden, John Dehner, Jack Elam (not left out, Arfside)
Ben Johnson, Noan Beery Jr., Ward Bond, John McIntire, Royal Dano
I’m having a hard time seeing that as Jack Elam. I’m not saying it isn’t… .but I recognize the face at the end of that row, as well… and I could swear they’re two different people!
Royal Dano is another one I sometimes recognize, but he has a lot of faces in his pocket, and sometimes wears an unfamiliar one. 😁
I’m not using spoilers because I don’t think many of these names are recognizable to most of us anyway.
Taking the families to see Descanso Gardens Forest Of Lights tomorrow night. This pic reminds me of them, with the rain and vivid colors. Do your areas have anything similar?
Just to name a few public gardens with light shows
Denver Botanic Garden
Holden Forest and Gardens (Cleveland)
Longwood Gardens, Inc (Kennett Square PA)
Fernwood (Niles, MI)

Mannequins “living” on the ninth floor of a department store.
Actual spoiler….
The mannequins take turns becoming human for a month. Anne Francis thinks she’s human, and so do we…. but she discovers that she’s one of them, due back from her turn.
I think that’s enough spoiler boxes for one post. 😁
I don’t think France was very successful in expelling those musicians, or if they were, it was brief, because by the 30s American jazz was everywhere in France, and Paris was kind of the world capital of it, in terms of popular nightclubs.
The black musicians especially didn’t want to go “home”…
Even if they still had their roots and their families back in New York, Chicago, or New Orleans…
Paris was where colors and classes mixed, and race didn’t determine audience or stardom.
….
The message about Everest was wrong… As far as is known, they didn’t quite reach the summit, and climbers were lost.
…
As for Queen Mary… first I was thinking that she went with her son George, the future King George VI, father of the late Queen Elizabeth I I, when he was a child.
But I realized he was a grown man by 1924, and besides, his name wasn’t George before he was King… It was Albert.
Then I remembered he had a younger brother actually named George… But he was also a grown man by 1924…. and even he wasn’t her youngest son.
She did probably go with him on this expedition…
But there were two even younger siblings.
The youngest, Prince John, had died very young, though…. before WWI… and AFAIK even Prince Henry was no longer a child in the 1920s.
I love this New Yorker cover. I’d say it’s funny on its own as a cartoon… but it couldn’t exist without elements of the cover being part of it.
I hate to admit that it took me quite a while to realize what’s going on in the picture. I think i was too busy looking for differences to take a proper look.
Until I thought about why there was a fire truck racing down the hill, I saw a family standing around a table, instead of holding up the red checkered tablecloth as a safety net.
How did kitty get up into that O anyway? You can see why he can’t climb down on his own.
Also, I thought Stel did a particularly good job “painting” in the differences this time. It’s hard to see which bits were hers and which original.
Oh… the solution?
Sure… And BTW, I spent a couple of minutes looking for number 10, till I realized that unlike most of Stel’s New Yorker puzzles, there are only 9. Does that make it 10% easier?
.
The Birds and the Bees, only different…
I almost blurted out the answer.
That would have been the darnedest thing to do!
For you younguns, the old guy holding the microphone is
Yes… My mother loved it; my father hated it. LOL

Linkletter wrote two books about it too.
this is incredibly well done — by ?
Mother Nature?
Someone who has no idea of what an actual American/Canadian locomotive should look like.
Who says it’s in North America?
those are north American numbers?
OK, it could be South America, but most of the rest of the world use locomotives that look quite different from the cab on that one.
ADOBE STOCK says it’s A.I. generated.
I had guessed that by looking at what appears to be a locomotive with no space for the engine or generator.
Actually, that style of diesel engine does look like that. The motors are behind the cab (thought often the engines will run “backwards”)
So where are we?
Looks like New York City to me.
A conspicuous lack of skyscrapers, wherever it is.

A real Basselope has antlers!
Why does this picture look so familiar?
Should I recognize it from somewhere?
I tried to search it… Apparently it’s been used for several different ads and articles… But I found no actual info or explanation.
I did a Cleo cartoon where she has one of those on her back and asking Claude if he had a match–thinking of that, maybe?
I remember that strip!
I didn’t think of it, cos I was picturing this exact photograph…
But it’s in my head, so you’re probably right!
I tried looking for it, can’t remember what it was saved as
I just scrolled through all my thumbnails…
I saved a considerable number of strips, but not all, with no particular rhyme or reason…
Except that that I tended to save animations and serials… But now I wish I’d saved them all.
I don’t think I have that one.
Not this one?
Looks like Fimo modeling plastic…. Though it’s probably drawn to look like it’s modeled.
Now there’s a young basset with ambition. With hopes and dreams. That pooch is going places.
The north American Indian dog was black. It’s said that that they gave the black wolf of the north plains its color. But the Indiandog had a heftier coat than the Xolos.
,,
I see one Indian.
I know him. He was a neighbor of mine!
Cool… Is he Chief Dan George?
That’s who i see.
Yup. He lived just across Burrard Inlet. We used to drive past his house on the way to Deep Cove.
I recognise a lot of faces but not many names…
Characters, all. I wonder how many of them got “Best Supporting Actor”, or at least “Best Sidekick!” If this is the list that I think it is, they left out one of my favorites: Jack Elam.
He’s more of a star to me than a character actor.
Loved him in “Support your local Sheriff”.
here’s looking at YOU , kid
I see a lot of sidekicks in there.
Yeah… Some of these are what I’d call stars, but most are character actors.
I see the faces and I say I know this guy or that guy, maybe even a role he played… but not his name.
If I saw the list of names I’d probably say the same thing… I know them but can’t put a face to most of them.

I believe that is
And i think you are correct about Chief Dan George.
It course it is!
I should have recognized him… a lousy excuse, but his face was just too small and fuzzy in this picture.
Strother Martin, Dub Taylor, Slim Pickens, Paul Fix, Rex Holman
Burl Ives, Arthur Hunnicutt, Hank Worden, John Dehner, Jack Elam (not left out, Arfside)
Ben Johnson, Noan Beery Jr., Ward Bond, John McIntire, Royal Dano
Whoa!
I’m having a hard time seeing that as Jack Elam. I’m not saying it isn’t… .but I recognize the face at the end of that row, as well… and I could swear they’re two different people!
Royal Dano is another one I sometimes recognize, but he has a lot of faces in his pocket, and sometimes wears an unfamiliar one. 😁

Sorry if anybody thinks I should.
That ‘stache could throw anybody off. 😀
And BTW where’s Lee Van Cleef?
Ely Walsh!
Taking the families to see Descanso Gardens Forest Of Lights tomorrow night. This pic reminds me of them, with the rain and vivid colors. Do your areas have anything similar?
enchanted forest of lights…hm … nope, can’t think of anything like that. there ARE many different xmas events planned as are in most communities.
Just to name a few public gardens with light shows
Denver Botanic Garden

Norfolk Botanical Gardens has a nice one. There is another along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk (drive through that one).
From the video, it’s well worth the visit.
Enjoy! !
Of course….
The mannequins take turns becoming human for a month. Anne Francis thinks she’s human, and so do we…. but she discovers that she’s one of them, due back from her turn.
I think that’s enough spoiler boxes for one post. 😁
yes! the very same Ann Francis who couldn’t wait to get away from her papa and her home planet, which everyone called ‘Forbidden’
What are those large spots on top of her feet?
I’m not sure but they match her neckless. Toe rings, ir someting on some slippers?
where is Waldo?
In the Bar?
I’d guess he’s masquerading as a beach towel, hoping some young lady in a bikini will lie down on him.
I do think I see him, but there are so many spoiler characters, and this is so blurry, I can’t be sure.
That’s what I saw.
Matches my search as well, only thing close enough considering the blurriness factor.
Blowing it up, i think so.
various articles perused in a newspaper dated May 31,1924
Some interesting stuff.

Up to eight!

Only seven this time.
Hoo-aaahhh!
Yup!
Eight.
A classic among classics!
There are additional pictures of the Ironworkers Lunch, this is one of them.
where’s the restroom?
I front of you.
Eww.
It never reaches the ground from that height. It vaporizes.
A likely excuse!
Then why do we get rain?
Do raindrops start out the size of cantaloupes to make up for all that vaporization on the way down?
Actually, that makes it look like there might be something solid underneath them. Just don’t lean back!
And this is another. Those boys deserve a nap after that lunch.
I always need one.
Gotta be a joke… Yeah, they’re showing off that they’re not afraid of heights…
But I doubt they’d be careless enough to fall asleep unsecured.

Moments ago it didn’t and wouldn’t let me comment about light shows at public gardens. Will try again
I guess you succeeded!
