The Saturday Picture Show, February 17, 2024

Centuries from now, people digging through the detritus and rubble we leave behind will notice that we downplayed our natural fear of giant reptiles that could eat us alive by portraying them as small smiling animals playing the accordion while wearing silly hats.
When the Beatles came along, it was a free-for-all among sellers of schlock merchandise. Before entertainment attorneys got smart enough to stick copyrights all over their stars, anyone could make and sell "Authentic Beatle Toothpaste" or whatever. I'm sure these crummy shirts were less than satisfying to those who sent their money to P.O. Box 2948, Des Moines, Iowa.
Movie producers slapped together all sorts of films with that popular juvenile delinquency theme, starring Corey Allen, so memorable as "Buzz" in "Rebel Without a Cause" and more people you don't know. Anne Whitfield is known to me for playing Phil Harris's daughter Phyllis on the radio, though. 
Barron Trump had a great time at the annual Trump family picnic this year, easily winning the "shortest tie" competition.
It's almost a miracle these days if you see people even slowing down at a stop sign. And then when they get popped for a moving violation, they claim the police ought to be out catching bank robbers.
Someone ordered their burrito to go and specified "No Olives." They received this artwork on the go-box.
As we say goodbye to football for the year and prepare for baseball, let's have a look at my favorite college player ever, #14 in your program but #1 in your heart, Jack Kerouac.
I have never met anyone who saw this and was disappointed! It has everything for everyone, plus Markie Mark!
The Hand Jive dance was invented by English teenagers who crowded into a malt shop that had a jukebox but not enough room to dance. So they stood still and danced with their hands. With these instructions, you can join the fun, as soon as you put on some pink socks.
Our Salute To Celebrity Drivers' Licenses rolls right along, with Jackass Johnny Knoxville's recent renewal, under his real name of P.J. Clapp, which, to me, is almost as funny as "Johnny Knoxville." Would that we all dressed like Chippendale dancers to get our photos.
