[First .gif source unknown, and it’s the second one ever posted on this site. It’s one of my all-time favorites and inspired This Awesome Collection.
2nd .gif found here,
Third .gif was cobbled together from a video of a computer-generated humanoid that taught itself to walk, then run, by trial and error.
Looks like union work to me.
Then there’s the “Frontier Communications” van in the foreground.

It appears that Hasbro has repackaged Milton Bradley‘s classic “The Game of Life” (which it owns) with a more accurate title. Good thing there’s a warning that the “poop” contains wheat.

A long forgotten grade-school rhyme popped into my head recently and here it is.
Mary had a little watch.
She swallowed it one day,
So Mary took a Feen-A-Mint
To pass the time away.
The Feen-A-Mint, it did not work;
The time, it did not pass;
So if you want to know what time it is,
Just look up Mary’s little brother.
He’s got a watch.
Marky Ramone talks about CBGBs and stuff.
The U.S. Tax System explained with beer.
These “Chimera Cats” are not photoshopped images.

That’s Dave Allen (1936-2005) and that’s a 1965 VW 6-volt Beetle. It didn’t have headlights. It had glowlamps. I know because I owned one.
1911 New York City restored hand-cranked film, speed corrected and with an added soundtrack humanizes the populace a bit. A lot of interesting things happened in 1911, itemized here and here. Sheet music sales determined the popularity of songs and Scott Joplin’s rags were hot, like Treemonisha.
Hormel Pepperoni advertisement [h/t Calo]. I’m speechless. Let’s get out of here.
YES stood out a bit from the music of the 70s. Sure, they were art rock, their lyrics were inane and incomprehensible, they’ll make you out and out, but their music was killer.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band was very underrated IMO.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) are arguably the most westernized of the muslim nations, however… https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/middle-east/united-arab-emirates/what-you-can-or-cant-do-in-the-united-arab-emirates
Betty and Wilma were allowed to drive, but why did the Flintstonemobile have a steering wheel? BTW, Fred Flintstone ordered the BrontoRibs at a drive-in restaurant, apparently ate them there. He never brought them home, therefore the photo above is historically inaccurate. 😀
