I was watching a documentary last night after reading Cleo&Co when this picture of HMS Rodney popped up. Not as good a match as I remembered, but close!
The only episode I remember was where the Dad brought home a short wave radio and heard a distress call from a boat in the Atlantic. They were the only ones to hear it and it took the whole episode for the old man to get up the courage to call the Coast Guard. Talk about a chicken$hit coward who was afraid to get involved! I never cared for the program after that.
Elinore Donahue posed for what I think is a publicity still for the movie “Girls Town” in 1959 (“Father Knows Best” still had a year to run / she would be at least 21 here).
…behind the jellyfish tentacles underneath the third orca (counting left to right..top to bottom).
As a side note, Liverlips is correct.
This is indeed an anti pollution poster
Here is the caption and a brief description of how much simply washing clothes contributes to ocean pollution accompanying this puzzle from the London “Daily Mail” of July 1, 2022:
Caption:
” Highlighting the fashion industry’s responsibility for 20% of industrial water pollution, sustainable merch platform Teemill has put together this poignant puzzle”
Clothes washing:
“As well as the usual sea life suspects, you’ll notice plastic bottles, bags and cutlery scattered across the image. That’s because washing clothes releases the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles of microplastics every year, with each tiny fibre small enough to be absorbed by plankton and go upwards into our food chains. ”
Thank you for the additional information.
I went looking for the Ross Perot connection, and found this article in the FINANCIAL TIMES dated July 10, 2019 (I don’t think Perot was much impressed with G.M.’s management).

Wish I had that in my bathtub!
There wouldn’t be room for YOU.
Or, come to think of it, the rest of the your apartment.

that’s the last thing the guy in the enemy sub wants to see out of his periscope
Probably the last thing he will see, too.
On the contrary, not much a battleship can do to a sub. A destroyer might give nightmares, but a battleship is a juicy plum.
yeah, but this one has the imaginary sub dead to rights—battleships don’t have depth charges or the modern equivalent ?
Element #2 in a Rube Goldberg device.
This is actuall a 1941 child’s pedal car.
The installation is titled “Ready For Takeoff” and was done by the artist Richard Hall.

Gorgeous!
Does it come in my size?
USS Potomac in dry dock – 1907 (I need help with where)
The caption in the attachment comes from HERE
In service for 84 years. Impressive!

thanks for that
De nada..
One of my minor language peeves…
A) no one observes the difference any more between “if” and “whether”.
B) I am the only person on Earth who cares anyway.
Sorry. Since i already know you don’t care 😁
I’ll bet there’s a fair number of folk out there that care and share in your frustration. since I’m barely literate, it’s all good to me
Or the flush isn’t very strong. It makes sense to check after flushing…
The first TV show my family watched regularly.
I don’t know about the order but we almost never missed it.

Sorry if I offended anybody.
I’m almost offended that you think you offended any of these kind folks
I don’t remember that one.

Princess!
You have a thing for patriotic Candians? Me too!
yeah, I couldn’t find a better copy of this obviously dark , almost hard to read
copy of it….this is WW1, going by the style of the poster
Today’s guest cartoonist: Justin Thompson
Justin of Mythtickle?
Really, or are you joking?
It just looks very much like his self-portraits as “El Jeffe.”
Call me a cynic, but I don’t think this is a friendly encounter.
I don’t see a signature. I like it.
there’s a LOT of hours in that
find the turtle
Tortoise!
Certainly not.
Just putting a Little Dog Lost spin on things…
The real lesson here isn’t the turtle/tortoise, is it? It’s the plastic.
Nope.
Yes.

The serious disturbing thing to me i that micro plastics are showing up in placenta. I’m wondering how much is getting through to the baby.
Kind of a human trait that our efforts to fix things (like biodegradable plastic) makes matters worse!
I’ve a guess, but it’s hard to tell
That’s what I found… Though it’s not really clear enough to be sure.
Too small for my eyes.
I blew it up and could only determine that it was the right color to be a turtle.

What’s black and white, and read all over?
From yesterday.

Nor should he have been.
He had done many impressive things in his career, but believing GM would let him run EDS his way was really dumb.
Oh, my! A lot of absent friends in that poster…
Sad, but true.
Yeah. 🙁
Made me cry.
♥ 🙁
My first thoughts too when I saw it.
Sure, it’s “just the passage of time”, but…
Breakfast in Springfield
A bread bag; I guess the cat is just loafing.
I see the nonsense has made the German news!
How does the Springfield sheriff get to keep his office?
His remarks are totally illegal!
Is that a big scary ghost tree?
Could be Snoopy, as well.
