The Saturday Picture Show, January 8, 2022

 

They say that movie theaters are having trouble paying the bills and drawing crowds. Maybe a change of name would help this place...
Just in case you're still typing "2021" on things...

I thought those things were glued on! So who wants to wake him up and tell him that his toup fell down?
The person who collects playing cards can be sure to have a great deal of fun.
I guess it stands to reason that the giant heads at Easter Island have bodies holding them up.
I had never heard of these, but here they are: foot bicycles from 1898.
This is the Hampton Mansion, now a National Historic Site. It was, at the time of its final construction in 1790, the largest private home in the nascent United States. It was on my way to elementary school, and in the first response area of my volunteer fire company. I was a lucky kid that way.
It's a little short for my elongated frame, but isn't this the perfect little reading/napping area? And with snow outside...wow!


The Green Spring Dairy Man brought milk and butter and eggs and cheese right to our front porch every day. Most of what he sold was good stuff, but this was a fake breakfast drink whose ingredients were water, sugar, fruit juices (orange, apple, apricot, prune, and pineapple), citric acid, orange pulp, "natural flavors," sodium citrate, canola oil, modified corn starch, sodium benzoate, caramel color, annatto, and ascorbic acid. Gee whiz. How hard is it to squeeze some orange juice?


Now they're getting all fancy down in Peru. It's a two story house made of old shipping containers!
