It’ll probably darken… But it’s cute.

If (s)he’s a golden (can’t tell with this fish eye lens) it might stay pink… I knew a golden with a pink nose all her life.

Her vet said it was normal, though not usual.

Cookie’s nose is pink and black. So are her paw pads.

I thought I deleted that after I saw her paws weren’t showing enough. Oh, well. I get to show her off.

The cars of the era lacked crumple zones and seat belts. I hate to say it, but it probably was safer than nearly any other arrangement in those cars. (I’m guessing 1940s-1950s, maybe early 60’s).

I hope it’s fake but unfortunately, it’s probably real.

Of course it could be just an idea in one of those magazines for tinkerers, like Popular Mechanics, and not a realized product.

In the other hand, there are people like Mitt Romney who might think it’s a good idea.

Since posting the above, I googled it.

According to several websites I’ve never heard of, this was indeed a real product…. but who knows.

However, this image did originally appear, they say, in the June, 1935 issue of… (drumroll…) Popular Mechanics!

My guess
is #4 – no knife (murder weapon) at his table.
But we don’t see #1’s table fully either.

The without a knife at his table. (#4)

Hmmm… Tigressy and Mr Sherman agree…

However…

The resolution is so poor, I can’t make out what implements #4 is using…. are we sure that’s not a knife in his right hand?

OTOH #1 seems to have no knife… but as Tigressy notes, as well, we can’t see his whole table.

Does this mean I vote for #1?

No, it means the puzzle is so badly drawn and reproduced it’s impossible.

Meanwhile, I want to know why the waiter/chef (?) isn’t a suspect too.

Before reading the other solutions, my guess was #3 as she is the only other female that would have used the women’s room – to clean her plate of rigatoni pomodoro on the co-worker she can’t stand who was taking a nap under the sink.

There is no “official” answer I can find.
From my researches it appears to be a pop-culture psychological test of the way different people reason things out (there is nothing I can find that says that’s what it is either).
I’ve seen cases made for all of the tables, but the majority of people reason it out to be the woman at table 3.
Me? Unless I have more information I’m not calling anyone.

My Guess…
My guess is #3, the woman. She would be the only other patron who could use the women’s washroom discretely; she grabbed the #4 man’s knife as she went by, went into the washroom to clean her plate, “did the deed”, and came back to her table with the glowing and cleaned plate. The #4 man has no knife, just a fork, at least from what I can tell.

Apropos of nothing, I had my first, and last, K.D. during my hiatus.
I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular, but that stuff is vile!
Capital V, Capital I, Capital L, Capital E ! !

V  —  I  —  L  —  E  —  ! ! !

 
Have I told you how much I enjoyed it yet?
Even the macaroni was flat. How did Kraft manage to “flatten” macaroni?
As for the (we are assured on the box it’s real) cheese powder, any resemblance to the taste of any cheese I have tasted before ingesting that stuff would have had to be in my imagination and my imagination failed.
I ended up adding canned corn beef and Heinz 57 sauce to make it palatable (and not very).
Yes, I know Heinz and Kraft are essentially the same company and I do like the sauce; as I said though, first and last K.D..

To non-Canadians, he is talking about Kraft Mac and Cheese. This stuff is for kids who don’t know any better. What possessed you to try it?

I eat it sometimes… but only as a side dish, not a meal.

The elbow macaroni in it is small and thin, and I can cook it in the microwave without waiting for a pot of water to boil, when I need to not be on my feet very long.

I always add some real cheese. Makes a big difference.

I personally find both canned corned beef and Heinz 57 sauce inedible, so they wouldn’t help.

I grew with the stuff so it can hit me as a comfort food at times.
And as basic i-got-nothing-else-that-i-can-afford it has saved my butt more than once. Add a half a can of diced spam and a handful of peas and carrots, you have a stove top casserole.

Add your cheese to the top and put it in a hot oven until the edges get crispy and you have a better casserole. As a life long single i learned a few tricks. 🙂

Instead of the diced ham, my Beloved will add a can of flaked tuna (in-water or in-oil, doesn’t matter to us, but usually in-water), and maybe if we feel extravagant a can of celery soup. I can attest to the oven baked thing with the crispy edges, that’s the way my mom made it (with the celery or mushroom soup), that crispy crunch was heavenly!

Can of white tuna, currently 5 oz., curry powder, and some green vegetable or /blend. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top. It is the easiest thing in the world and impossible to screw up.

Today’s Songs:
‘Born To Be Wild,’ Build Me Up, Buttercup,’ ‘Cat Scratch Fever’ and, ‘Car Wash’ and ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe (there is a species of tuna native to the western Mediterranean).
‘Isadora and her Avocado Plant’ at 3 minutes and 16 seconds in the Rose Royce ‘Car Wash’ video is real.
It was a promotional publication of the California Avocado Commission of Newport Beach.

If you’re running a P.C. try highlighting this and then right click and select the “go to” option.
Wordpress is getting weird; yesterday some of nighthawks’ postings would show up and next time not.
To me, everything appears normal about the post.

It was written for, and won, the Eurovision Song Contest for the UK, the last time we actually got anywhere in the contest due to political voting after our “Leaders” joined in with a very controversial decision made by “Leaders” across the Pond (In the contest directly following that partnership we ended the contest with zero points).

It got played so much on the radio that, and the following, year that I don’t want to hear it anymore.

Again, voting swayed by politics because their economic power and how they could, and did, dictate policy to the EU to the (Sometimes perceived, sometimes real) detriment of other countries.

What started off as a cultural get-together to have some fun, turned, like a lot of international things do, political.

Bessie loves her Viking warrior.

Strong, adventurous…. he seemingly fears nothing!

He loves cheese, so she feels needed…

And his head, even his face, is covered in some sort of gloriously long fur, the color of hay… her favorite thing.

She especially loves his deep, booming voice… his singing soothes her. She could listen all day.

Singing?
Why, yes.

Bessie knows nothing about history, but she’s seen picture books.
To her, he’s a seafaring rover.

But in reality, there are no more Norse raiders…

and the only ones who wore or wear horned helmets are, like him, Wagnerian opera singers.

Don’t judge by the bell alone; I don’t see anything defining their gender.

You referred to the cattle as a “she” (I don’t see anything there).
Usually, only female cattle wear bells.

I’m sorry, but I’m confused.

First of all, this is just meant to be fun, not a scientific paper.

Every week, I assign genders to the pairs of “lovers” in the strip, just so I can write a bit of hopefully amusing description.

Often my designations are completely arbitrary, but so far, no one has ever contested them, because they know I’m just joking about a cartoon.

But this week, one of the lovers has a full beard.

The other, though there’s no visible udder, looks much more like a cow to me than a bull.

Each pair is meant to be a couple, or one of them wishes they were a couple.

….

You seem to be saying I shouldn’t label the cow (if that’s what she is) as female, cos she, or he, could be a bull…

Which would either make the Viking the female, or make the couple homosexual.

I have nothing against bearded ladies or gay couples, but I thought my choice was a bit more probable.

You’re free to see them another way, and not laugh at my silly jokes.
