The Saturday Picture Show, January 27, 2024

If you have to get out the snowblower and boots and all that, might as well put on a fun outfit and make the kids think that unicorns are really real!
I loved to read the Sunday funnies in the day they were funny. Blondie, Bringing Up Father, Little Iodine...good old days!
So this man knows how to order breakfast at a diner, how to play some of the most famous tunes on a guitar ("Sweet Child Of Mine" for example) and how to leave a nice tip - 200 smackeroos. All right, Slash!
What a shame that a stupid color line kept some great ballplayers having to ride buses and playing exhibitions all over instead of being major leaguers. Thank the Dodgers and Jackie Robinson for standing up for what was right.
Before actor Joyce Randolph passed away recently, she made it a weekly habit to sit in the bar at Sardi's and greet her fans and lovers of classic TV (she was Trixie Norton in "The Honeymooners.") I'm sure she enjoyed every minute she shared.
Baltimore Fans are taking that FAFO equation all the way to the Conference Championship game tomorrow! And I think we'll find out that they will win.
There is nothing so patronizing as calling a fully grown female a "girl," but such was the sexism of the "good" old days that some people miss so wistfully. 
I have a real weakness for these "Four Seasons Of The Same Scene" pictures, especially if one of the seasons brings snow!

In their haste to increase profits by cutting employees hours and staffing at large, many corporations are now learning that many customers will steal a stick of gum if they get half a chance. So now, all of a sudden, self checkout is a bad idea. They should have asked several years ago; we could have told them what would happen.
We have several of these around - old type drawers from print shops. They make terrific display boxes to show your bric-a-brac and whatnot.
