The Saturday Picture Show, October 21, 2023

 



The one, the only Dolly Parton is out with a book about her styling and her wardrobe, including the sage advice she got from Chet Atkins at RCA Records when she was starting out that she would "never get anywhere with that gaudy image." At least he was man enough to admit he was as wrong as a bus station scale.
The problem many golfers have is a lack of concentration. When you're putting, you should be one with the putter, concentrate on putting that biscuit in the basket, and think of nothing else. So what if the clubhouse is burning down? You can always join Bushwood!
This banana chunk is not at all certain that he wishes to float in your Corn Flakes tomorrow morning.
Oh, the many uses of gourds! They can be turned into utensils, cups, bottles, scoops, ladles, fishnet floats, birdhouses, and musical instruments. How many nights did we thrill to the dance music of Slatts LaMonica and His Musical Gourd? 

Autumn in Vermont! Soon to be followed by Winter in Vermont, and little kids on sleds.

I remember kids eating radishes in their school lunch. Their mom would wrap up a pinch of salt in wax paper, because you have to have salt on your radish. This monster radish, you might as well get the whole package of salt ready!
The Orioles kicked off their playoff series against the Rangers with our beloved superfan Joan Jett's version of the Star Spangled Banner. That was the highlight of the series...
If you saw Pete Davidson's cold open to last week's SNL, you saw the side of him that has appealed to me for years...nonchalant comedy mixed in with very serious thoughts about life. Who better, indeed, than Pete Davidson to talk about terrorism? Total respect. 
Courtesy of our local channel 11, clip this and hook it to your April wall calendar! Everyone who is not on trial on 91 felony charges will want to go outside and not look up.

In my working days, I enjoyed using scary pictures as screensavers to ward off invasions of people going desk-to-desk looking for highlighters, Wite-Out, hole punchers, sticky notes, three-ring binders, printer paper, County stationery, wrapping paper, manila folders, interoffice envelopes, pens, pencils, erasers, staplers, staples, paperclips, pushpins, scissors, glue, Scotch Tape, and Scotch. One look at this toothy visage was enough to send them running!
