The Saturday Picture Show, February 27, 2021

 

They're so cute when they're young, aren't they? Baby Hippo, salute!
The way it worked out, the old Picture Show is sort of animal-heavy this week, but this is not an animal...it's an animatronic Chuck E. Cheese that someone found discarded in a county dump. Let's bring it back to life!

For Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye, Saying "Don't you cry," "I'll be back again some day!"

I've tried for years to hire this act for my birthday party, without success, because they don't list the area code on this billboard!
I understand that the old days of orange pickers going tree to tree with a ladder and a huge canvas bag on their shoulders are over. Today they encircle the tree with a giant shakedown machine, in the manner of old time politicians.
It's cool to see a hummingbird hanging around.
Real pure creamery butter on a Saltine cracker. They say this treat is coming back! We heard about butter crackers a lot when we were kids, and along with descriptions of the sparse snack came the slogan, "We ate them all the time during the Depression, and we were GLAD to GET them!" 
Who else was hoping that movie-style Martians with the little antennae were going to pull up in their Marsmobile and ask if we had a permit for this thang?
There's only one way this could have been a cooler picture, and that would be for Mama here to be wearing a pill-box hat.
With my newfound passion for all sorts of potatoes, I think I need to order a potato sorter. We don't use the dining room all that often anyway...

Mark, I'm on lunch break at work, and you just filled it with so much joy. Wish everyday was Sat. Thank you, the pix were really cool.
