Just looking at those peg legs on a positive note. The series about the guy who was developing prosthetics for all sorts of animals was pretty good. A prosthetic foot for an elephant??? Wow!
It’s like the link that I sent for alternate artistic prosthetics for people. You can be “handicapped”, or you can be a star. It’s partially just a state of mind.
Making the best of a bad situation is great… Staying positive is half the game.
But suggesting needless surgery and metal leg extensions for an otherwise healthy little dog, or telling him he’s not perfect just the way he is is …. um… I know you were joking but… eww.
She was very glamorous before she became known for comedy…
I believe that playing a housewife on I Love Lucy… even one married to a famous bandleader… she tried to downplay her looks so her Hollywood aspirations would seem funnier.
upon posting this last night, I felt a slightly smaller version would mess with you guys’ eyes more–but neglected to pull the larger one……now you get two for the price of one
On my android phone and tablet, they both fill the screen, so they look the same size.
I just tried to discern a difference in the resolution, cos the smaller one would have fewer pixels, but can’t see that either… Possibly both have as many pixels as my screen resolution.
My sister and her husband gave my niece a unisex name, dressed her mostly in overalls or jeans, and bought her an expensive Sascha doll… A girl but they look rather unisex, or at least not “girly”.
They weren’t trying to make her non gender conforming… nobody had heard of that in the 80s… They just wanted her to feel like she could do anything and never be held back by female stereotypes.
Only one doll, and not many other toys, because they wanted to give her quality playthings, and hated piles of “plastic junk”.
..
By the age of two, she wanted ruffly dresses, cried if made to wear anything that wasn’t pink, and had given the doll a boys name.
In preschool at 3, she left her overalls in the “dress up box” and came home in bedraggled long dresses and plastic princess crowns.
My sister even tried buying her pink overalls… But no.
At 10 she suddenly switched to wanting black clothes and glitter… Bye bye pink princess.
Now at 40 plus she’s the mother of a teenage girl who never liked pink or dresses or princess stuff.
I call AI…
The table looks ready to keel over, the left chair looks unstable, the before mentioned knobs for the stove make no sense…
And the faucet has no sink. Or that towel is placed in a pretty unusual spot.
I agree that it’s AI … I thought so when I agreed about the table leg but I was too tired to examine the rest.
Yes, the table is impossible… The front leg stretches to land in the back.
I’ve seen stoves that look kind of like that… made to look retro.. and it could have 6 burners or a 2 burner griddle in the middle.. but it’s still probably too many knobs.
The sink, though, could be real…. Except that the whole countertop on that side might be shown too narrow.
It’s a white sink with an enameled steel rim, visible in the back and on the right side… the part that looks like a towel is an “apron” that’s part of the rim in front.
I saw one like that in a unit that was part of a one piece outdoor kitchen on display at the fair. I didn’t get the point… Maybe just for looks.
A closer inspection shows the “sink” has no depression. It’s just a flat top. What I thought may have been the lip pf the inside of the sink seems to instead be the shadow from the faucet.
Hmmm… trying to see it that way… It still looks too far from the faucet to me to be its shadow… and more like the lip of the sink
But you and Tigressy both see it as flat, so maybe it is.
I did see a a real sink with that apron type front extension, but as I said, it was part of a unit kitchen.
In any case I’m pretty sure by now we all agree that the entire thing is fake, so details may be impossible to determine accurately.
AI images can shift within a few pixels to be one thing in one spot and something else when you try to follow an edge or a line… nothing but a dreamscape.
In the commercial, a guy goes to a fortune teller. She starts putting tarot cards on the table and they show he is having a relationship problem with a robot. The core issue is the health insurance provider having a robot phone system making it impossible to talk to a real person. She’s using an eastern European accent until she asks about the relationship problem with a robot, then she switches to a faint New York accent for the one comment, then goes back to her original accent.
A century or two apart and both 1000 years before the Cleopatra we know, the one in Roman times, though she was actually the 7th, and I don’t know when they started.
But we’re talking about a character in a massively fictional movie, where she coexisted with Cleo… the basset hound or human version.
They could have just named her Jane but they wanted it to seem historical. After all…. Cecil B Demille.
I checked Wikipedia and IMDb… The character is listed as Nefertari in one and Nefertiri in the other.. which are actually the same name… But not Nefertiti.
Nefertiti and Nofretete are both the same name as well, as there’s no record of vowels, syllables, or pronunciation in those hieroglyphics. One is Nfrtr the other Nfrtr.
Did that not too long ago, but I cheated. Cubed pork tenderloin in barbecue sauce and chicken stock with onion and spices, cooked in a crock pot until it’s tender and tasty.
Don’t whup me for cheating, please! I’ll try to do better tomorrow with some more traditional smoked brisket.

Mind your P’s and Q’s, and maybe they’ll give you some height enhancements too.
Nooooo….

There is at least one feel-good story in this photo. What’s the deal with the soaking-wet pup? Is he being rescued from ___________ as we watch?
..
Hey! My eyes are up here! Quit checking the bottom of the cartoon to see if there’s more!
.
Do you
She was very glamorous before she became known for comedy…
I believe that playing a housewife on I Love Lucy… even one married to a famous bandleader… she tried to downplay her looks so her Hollywood aspirations would seem funnier.
Of course!
Yep
An icon at any age.
She made it cool for girls to be clowns.
,
Sphinx cats are funny without trying.
Teddy was an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Shorthair
R.i.p. He was only seven human years old.
I’m sorry about Teddy. You still have a cat now, right? (certainly one doesn’t “replace” another, but it’s nice to have someone).
Thank you, but Teddy is the cat in the picture above!
Our cats all had longer lives.
Romy is 17 and as fit as a fiddle. Sounds like one, too…
See??? It’s not just the dogs in the picture up above that have long legs!!
And faces!
I can see where that pose could be comfortable for those long legs.
A friend had a Siames like that. She called him Kaftar ((Ratface spelled backwards)
Not much of a speller, was she.
But I guess Ecaftar didn’t care.

I’m waiting for someone to tell us who will win in 5 moves.

Careful…. Don’t fall in!
Oooh, pretty.
Watch your step!
Nighthawks tried to get get us twice!

I’m partial to the larger one. I have to scroll to see it all, and it only moves while I’m scrolling.
Neither moves for me.
Both move for me…

So is that what happened to the Monkees?
Is this from “Head”?
So young!
21!
I was going to say the years haven’t been kind
But I looked him up….
Apparently he was always somewhat older than the characters he played… in his 50s still the handsome, active hero.
Thanks, I had no clue.
I am going to guess this is
Yes.
Looks like Andy Rooney.
That was my first thought too!
I quickly realized it wasn’t, cos Rooney had a much craggier face, and those famously bushy eyebrows…
But it was a definite first impression.
,,,
Nope.
Agreed.
LOL… I wonder why.
….
Did you guys know pink was for boys till the early 20th century?
Red was considered a masculine color, and pink was thought to be diluted red, suitable for baby boys.
Baby girls wore pastel blue or yellow.
Pastels for babies have a longer tradition than specific colors.
I was kind of shocked the first time I saw a black baby dress…. but nowadays anything goes.
…
That applies to grownups too.
No reason not to embrace your inner pink if you like it!
Yes, I did know.
And yes, I understand that question was rhetorical. 😉
No no no! I don’t like pastels. We did my daughters room (nursery) in bright primary colors (she really likes pink now… go figure)
My sister and her husband gave my niece a unisex name, dressed her mostly in overalls or jeans, and bought her an expensive Sascha doll… A girl but they look rather unisex, or at least not “girly”.
They weren’t trying to make her non gender conforming… nobody had heard of that in the 80s… They just wanted her to feel like she could do anything and never be held back by female stereotypes.

Now at 40 plus she’s the mother of a teenage girl who never liked pink or dresses or princess stuff.
The training skipped a generation!
It looks vintage but I’m sure it’s quite modern.
The wall clock and chairs weren’t made before the 1980s and the faucet and stove are probably much newer than that.
Somebody’s labor of love, finding all that stuff to make a dream kitchen…. yes, presumably her dream kitchen, but why should we assume?
Like Christine’s apartment in Night Court: “A toxic cute dump…”
“toxic cute dump”… I’ll have to remember that.
Looks like a doll house.
I call shenanigans! Look at that middle table leg and the floorboards.
That is weird!
Exactly.
Good catch! I think I was pink-blind and couldn’t bear to look close.
Looking closer, what’s with all the knobs on the stove?
Two for the oven, tops, that leaves seven burners.
Yes, dear, decorate it whatever way you like!
I call AI…
The table looks ready to keel over, the left chair looks unstable, the before mentioned knobs for the stove make no sense…
And the faucet has no sink. Or that towel is placed in a pretty unusual spot.

I saw one like that in a unit that was part of a one piece outdoor kitchen on display at the fair. I didn’t get the point… Maybe just for looks.
There are large “farm style” sinks that extend out over the edge of the counter, but they’re still not that wide.
A closer inspection shows the “sink” has no depression. It’s just a flat top. What I thought may have been the lip pf the inside of the sink seems to instead be the shadow from the faucet.

T’would make a good one for “Spot The Differences”…
(mmnnff)
Only got six tonight.
Don’t give up yet!
I’m reminded of the off-accent comment in the commercial from (I think) Pacific source.
“Is that even a thing?”
??
In the commercial, a guy goes to a fortune teller. She starts putting tarot cards on the table and they show he is having a relationship problem with a robot. The core issue is the health insurance provider having a robot phone system making it impossible to talk to a real person.

Thanks! I don’t watch TV.
Not cos I’m against it… cos I have neither decent reception nor cable.
I have eight (so far).
Considering that I seem to have fairly good Wi-Fi at the moment…
I’m going to go ahead and post tonight/today’s solution.
First, I know you wouldn’t cheat… and second… Miss Cleo is psychic, and would tell on you!
Ok, ok, so Miss Cleo is really being played by Cleo Clifford.
Do you really want to cheat in front of a scent hound with a bazooka?
I didn’t think so.
So find the nine differences, and then check against my finds
Got ’em all. Psyched.
Appropriately
Got all nine, on the first attempt 🙂
Which is quite rare for me.
Got them!
Eight. Soooo close.
Oh, okay — i can’t count. Nine!
Eiight…
Anne Baxter as Nefertiti in Cecil B. DeMille’s epic film – The Ten Commandments
Nofretete or bust:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti_Bust
Both please ☺
Nefertari not Nefertiti. One a queen of Ramses, the other a queen of Akhnaten.
Yes… Good call!

Thanks for the correction.
In my defence, I only copied/pasted what was on the caption, my ancient history knowledge isn’t good enough to spot that error.
I’m cooking dinner this morning.
Pulled pork.
Mmmmm!
Hmmm … Your comment says 5 hours ago…
Should be about time to stop by 🍽️😋
I have some nice Kinder’s mild barbecue sauce if you want me to bring it 😁
Did that not too long ago, but I cheated. Cubed pork tenderloin in barbecue sauce and chicken stock with onion and spices, cooked in a crock pot until it’s tender and tasty.
Don’t whup me for cheating, please! I’ll try to do better tomorrow with some more traditional smoked brisket.
A bit later than usual for tomorrow’s strip… did you fall asleep, Nighthawks?
I emailed him the question and he just answered… But my post ended up on page two for today —>
