The Saturday Picture Show, February 17, 2018

Maybe it was the fact that the generator out in back of the store was drum shaped that gave someone the great idea to paint the protective uprights like Ludwig drumsticks, and then they figured, let's paint cartoon Ringo all up in here, the image from The Beatles cartoon show, which ran from 1965- 1969 here.

I always wondered how they got the real Napoleon to stick his hand inside his uniform; getting "Little Nap" here to do the same must have taken a ton of begging. Is this why they call formal wear a "monkey suit"?

The best advice I ever got for talking to teenagers is to remember to act the way you would have wanted adults to act toward you when YOU were a young 'un. The worst advice I ever heard was to try to dress like them, talk like them and act like the. They're already doing it better than we ever can.

Speaking of teenagers doing things better than anyone else can, I think we will see lots of Chloe Kim, the amazing snowboarder, in future competitions and advertisements.  And why not? I think she's charming, and I'll be flabbergasted if I ever see anyone fly through the air just as well as she does. And isn't it nice to see her friend give Alfred E. Neuman a little love?

Well, you did say you wish there was someone who would deliver some Wild Turkey...

This is the week when America's pizza chefs are all undergoing heart tests. And then they deal with orders like this: 1/2 saus/pep, 1/2 chs.

Their 50th anniversary comes up on March 1. Here are Johnny Cash and his bride June Carter Cash, scion of one of the founding families of country music, as they tied the knot. Years later, a British poll voted a love letter he wrote to her ("You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You're the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence.") as the greatest love letter of all time, which must have come as quite a surprise to others famous for writing lovey-dovey epistles, such as Ernest Hemingway (to Marlene Dietrich), Napoleon (Josephine), Oscar Wilde (Lord Alfred Douglas) and Donald Trump (Donald Trump).

Oh! These crazy kids and their dolls and their FaceSwap apps...
