The Saturday Picture Show, December 8, 2018

This kid was photographed in depression-era Baltimore; the picture was in black-and-white and then later colorized. My surmise is that his name was either Spike, Sluggo or Muggy.
This is an Italian sword from the year 1100. Italian soldiers had the option of running through enemies with one end of this weapon, or scratching their backs with the other.
I saw this the other day and I remembered reading it in 5th grade, the donut machine, and the Longest String contest. Do kids still read books like this, or just Harry Potter?
Everyone was teasing him, says this little boy, but he grew enough hair to donate to Locks Of Love. He would have no idea what you meant if you told him he looks just like Zac Hanson.
77 years ago yesterday the world saw darkness.
If you see this at your favorite watering hole, you might need to take a break a while.
Oh! Today is our 45th anniversary! Thank you, Peggy, for marrying a guy who, when we decided on this date in 1973 for the nuptials, thought it was a lucky harbinger to be married on Sammy Davis, Jr's birthday (his 48th.) Today, Peggy and I are still a couple of crazy honeymooners, but we lost Sammy to those damned cigarettes in 1990. He's 93 today, just not here.
When this guy bought a house, he made sure to have enough parking spots for two vehicles, and his giant Lenin head.
