The Saturday Picture Show, April 3, 2021

 

It's very nice of the owner of this pair of sneakers to make room for the one to be a frog condo. If the frog goes a-courtin', he can move his wife in right next door! 


This chart shows the home base for all the baseball teams, except they forgot the poor Chicago White Sox! Now the Orioles don't have to feel so bad about having such a tiny fan base.
Salt cellars are becoming popular again, just when you thought people were so heart-conscious that they weren't even using that much table salt. This example will only cost you $1150, but it is sterling silver.
It now comes to light - 6 years later - that Madonna, rather than posing for her picture herself, used the picture on the right and glued her own head onto it for an Instagram picture. The woman whose head was removed is Amelia Goldie, and she is mad about it, now that she has found out what the Immaterial Girl did to her. In fact, she is so irate, you might say she lost her...temper.
Who among us is not crazy about Mona Lisa Vito from "My Cousin Vinny"? Is she qualified to answer questions about automobile? "Well, my father was a mechanic, his father was a mechanic, my mother’s father was a mechanic, my three brothers are mechanics, four uncles on my father’s side are mechanics..." Yeah. She's chahming!
I saw this picture of a little duck and image-searched it. It comes back as some sort of Russian duck logo, so now we can picture Russians standing around wearing polo shirts with this little guy's picture, along with Madras shorts and Topsiders.
I don't know where this is either, but I am not going down those steps, no sirree. Plus, it seems to be a smoking area just outside the doors of Hades.
I'll let you in on a little secret. All cats think of themselves in high positions, trust me. Where do you think we get the word "lionize"?
As closely as I can figure it, this is a turtle who picked up a hitchhiking frog, who had picked up a hitchhiking snail. Later on, when they asked the turtle what was going on, he said, "I don't know! It all happened so fast!"

This week's death of G. Gordon Liddy, the "mastermind" of the bungled burglary at the Watergate building, reminds us that for want of a nail, the horse was lost...etc. Because Liddy's bumbling fools taped down a latch bolt to allow them to sneak back into the Democratic Nat'l Committee offices, alert Security Guard Frank Wills, who earned $80 a week in 1972, spotted the whole caper, alerted the DC Police, and all that led to the dethronement of Richard Nixon. From the National Archives, this notation in Will's nightly log book records a tiny moment that soon loomed large.
