The Saturday Picture Show, June 12, 2021

 

"Baltimore" magazine is still an enjoyable monthly, and is the oldest city Chamber of Commerce organ in the nation. This cover from 1965 shows the days when 75,000 Volkswagens per year came through the port of Baltimore on their way to the highways and byways of America.
Just stay out.
For more than half a century, ZZ Top has brought their infectious boogie from Texas to us, with the same three members. Billy Gibbons plays guitar, Dusty Hill is on bass, and Frank Beard plays drums while being the only guy in the band without a Beard.
The feet and hands of Mario David García Mansilla are shown here making a pizza in an unusual way. He's a chef in Guatemala, and he bakes his pizza pies on the lava of the Pacaya volcano, where the temperature on the melted rocks reaches a nice 1,472°. I wonder if he delivers up here...
Here's a cartoon that shows the graphic version of the directions I found for reheating pizza in your frying pan. Clip 'n' save for ready reference, because this is the BEST!
Here are the two versions of the 1965 St Louis Cardinals team photo. The second one had to be taken after a closer look at the first one showed recently deceased Hall of Famer Bob Gibson holding hands with Bob Uecker, the third-string catcher best known for playing Mr Belvedere on TV.  Just like mischievous third-graders, the two were separated for the retake: Ueck 2nd from left on the back row, Gibby 4th from left in the middle row. Men will be boys.

14-game losing streak? What 14-game losing streak? The Orioles are my team to ride or die, and even their mascot is great, and masked up.
This picture represents a hundred times more radishes than I ever ate. I remember kids with a radish in their lunch at school, with a little bit of salt folded up in wax paper. I mean, really.
With the price of wood going through the wooden roof, if you can find some old pallets lying about, you can save 40 thousand dollars on your next set of kitchen shelves.
