The Saturday Picture Show, May 22, 2021

 

Oh, I'm sure there are other ways...
As a fan of ventriloquism, I am fortunate enough to have been the right age to see Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop in her first show ("The Shari Lewis Show," NBC, 1960 - 1963) and her second ("Lamb Chop's Play-Along," PBS, 1992 - 1997). It's good to see the old wool puppet still get some play time! 
No humans will be injured by Bucket Hat Boy here, but dozens will be fooled!
"Hey Mom! What's for dinner?"
An abandoned house in midtown Detroit. Think of what this used to be, how many happy memories were made there, and how many more could be made after someone puts some rehab money into it!
If this is not called "Monster Rock," someone is missing out on a sure tourist opportunity!
Great idea - a view with a room! 
The competition ends right here. You can't find better camouflage than this, from the Turkish Army. We wanted to give the designer a prize, but we couldn't find him.
The city government of Paris, France, thought they were doing a good thing to buy a fleet of electric cars for their officials to scoot down the Champs-Élysées on their way to La Tour Eiffel and the colorful Sous-vêtement. But, you know what they say about good intentions. Replacement batteries are currently prohibitively expensive, and the city had already passed environmental laws making it illegal to dispose of used electric car batteries. So here sit these defunct vehicles in a giant cimetière automatique. C'est dommage.
This has the look of an old painting, but it's a new (2019) painting of old books. It is entitled "Old Books," and it was done by Elena Nikolaeva. I love the texture and even the musty smell of old books!
