The Saturday Picture Show, January 26, 2019

This is the sort of thing that people find out about pets when they open their hearts to them.  You might remember a book about a library where a stray cat showed up and became the house cat for years, beloved by many. His name was Dewey as well (for the Decimal System).
Remember these from art class? Was there a kid in your class who got confused about the word "gum" on there?
For my friends who live in warm climates and never get to play with snow, this is a classic American snowman!
 This is an example of the school of art and painting known as "hyperrealism," which is Latin for "I don't have a camera."
 It's true - they really are cute when they're young!
 I believe this to be a 1952 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe sedan. I don't know if it careered off a roadway and dug itself its own grave, or if someone dragged it here. The driver, Prince Philip, was unable to say what happened.
 What on earth is prettier than what's on earth?
This 1956 CinemaScope classic featured Mariska Hargitay's mother, along with Tom Ewell, so that maybe people would think it was like his previous movie "The Seven-Year Itch," but Jayne Mansfield was no Marilyn Monroe.  The eponymous theme song was done by Little Richard and it's worth the price just to hear him sing it!
