Summer with The Fuscias

 

Another blisteringly hot day, here in Slide Central.

Still, it's not as hot as in 1963, when these two lads were forced into wearing a woolly cardigan and a woolly pullover, to try and insulate themselves from the heat.

Bonus - 

Science?

A Day Beside My Pool

 

Another scorching day here in SlideGuy Central, so I'm mostly chilling (or sweating) beside the swimming pool.

So, in response to very nearly one enquiry, this seems like the ideal day to delve into the secret "Hot Babes in Swimwear" collection of slides.

Here we have Gretchen Farklehoff, a typist and ditch-digger from Huddersfield, lounging in a woolen swimsuit that her geandmother knitted.

Bonus - Still too hot.

Sports Casual on the Beach

 

Interesting fashion choice for surfing at the beach.

Bonus - Nah. I'm too hot.

,,,at the end of the working week.

 

Ah.

Friday.

Friday afternoon.

A chance to relax with a coffee and a carafe of chilled Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bonus.

Four million pounds of thrust, and no OFF switch.

Another American with Fish

 

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again.

Americans have a strange compulsion to be photographed holding the fish that they  angled.

Why???

Bonus - 

Yeah

Feeding The Ducks

 

Formerly a good old traditional British activity for the weekend, it's been banned because of bleedin' 'Elf n Safety.  Tony Bliar and co declared it non-PC, yet he allowed millions of furriners to come into...

Sorry.

My computer was it Daily Mail mode.

Now sorted.

Bonus 

And This Is AFTER Photo-Enhancement

 

This was a very under-exposed slide (second image here), and my first thought was "If some felt the need to keep this for XX years, it must be of  great historical importance.

A quick brightness and tone adjustment, and ...

...nope.  Person in car. Dull.

Bonus - Antipodean Map of the world. 

A Bare Bear and Baby Bears

 

No info on the slide, other than a data of October 1958... and I might have guessed that era from the wonderful American car style on the left.

Bonus - Remember that every warning on an item is there because of somebody with shoot for brains.

So, think about this.

Bikini Weather

 

Today's a bit cooler, tho' still rather warm. So, let's celebrate that with a slide from the 1977 Bikini Models set.

Two lovely ladies, in their lovely bikinis, cool off in the pool at Tarlair Swimming Pool

Bonus - Ripples

Hottest Day of 2025 (So Far)

 

Longest Day, today (At least in the Northern Hemisphere.)

So, here's an image which could be from the southern hemisphere.

Hope that helps cool you.

Bonus - 

StoneHenge say the usual bunch of Solstice Loonies today.

Flower, Bush and Bark

 

Nature.

It's fascinating.

Bonus What if you funneled Niagara Falls through a straw?

Oh Look, .... Aardvarks

 

Now, if I know my American Military Aircraft (disclaimer, I'm not an expert) those appear to be General Dynamics F-111 aircraft ... a.k.a. The Aardvark

Bonus - The F-111 as Pop Art.

That's some wild wallpaper, Yvonne

 

Not saying I like it.

 Not saying I hate it.

But ... Wow.

Bonus - 

Cruising on a Tuesday

 

This sad old Rust Bucket seems to be the "Queen of Bermuda".

Quite an interesting ship, but quite a tedious slide.

A Moment of Solitude

 

Sometimes, we just need a moment alone.

In contemplation.

.

And some folk, are banished from the masses, such a Mr Peter "Stinky Pete" O'Farrell. His chronic Halitosis cannot be treated by mere human medication, so off he goes, out of breath-shot.

Bonus - A lovely Czech-born woman approached a pawnbroker at a local mall.

She said to him in almost perfect English, "Please, I am looking for one night stand."

Liking her accent, the man closed his shop, and they both went to a bar for a couple of drinks, a nice restaurant, a club with a good floorshow, then afterwards headed back to his place for a romantic interlude.

As the sun began to use the next morning, he smiled sweetly at her sleepy face and said, "So how was that?"

"Was wonderful," she replied, "But I still have no place to put bedside lamp."

For Fathers Everywhere, This Day

 

Actually, Unknown man, unknown location, unknown date, unknown parental status. You're welcome.

Bonus - 

Not So Golden Gate Bridge

 

Yes, this is a companion piece to this previously posted slide.

Probably the result of sever under-exposure, but I do like this image of The Golden Gate Bridge..

Bonus Crouching Tiger...

Ducks Deluxe

 

If you hailed from Aylesbury, you would already know that today (the second Friday in June) is Duck Day.

It's a local holiday, dating from 1363, celebrating the contribution that ducks made to the local economy. From their eggs (omelettes), to their meat(for stir fries) to their feathers (The Aylesbury Pillow Collective), ducks were the driver for Aylesbury's wealth.

Even their feet were used, for waterproofing deerstalker hats. No waste here.

Bonus - 

 

The Pool Builders - Slide 1

Looks like someone's getting a surprisingly deep swimming pool.

There are other slides of this activity, which you might see sometime.

Bonus - 

 

I'm A Geese Goose.

 

RIS?

For those who need a clue...

I'm a Geese Goose

Also True

Bonus - Owls in Towels

Leaving, On A Jet Plane

 

I'm conflicted on this one.

Straight out of the box, and scammed...it was terrible. Almost White Above, Black Below.

But, with some careful adjustment of the contrast settings.... it's actually quite pleasant.

No info on it , obviously.

Bonus - During World War II, This Farmer Risked Everything to Help His Japanese American Neighbors

Fashion Notes from Sept 1963

Currently in for teenage girls are

• Pale Pink
• Vaguely Chinese inspired
• Ummm..... Pyjamas???

Whatever.

Bonus : Firefighters eat sausages made of piglets they saved from blaze.  Out of the fire, into the frying pan.

 

...and look who turns up.

 

So, yesterday I mentioned I'd remodelled the back garden.

And in the evening, the neighbours invited themselves round.  Nice.

They suggested that I'd copied the design from The Greek Theatre, in Lochcarron (Scotland), but I couldn't comment.

Bonus - My car is watching over me...

Just been remodelling the back garden.

 

Like It ?

Bonus - 

A quiet beach...

 

I didn't know what to post today, but randomly perusing the slide box, this one popped up.

And I thought "Today's the anniversary of D-Day." 81  years since Operation Overlord.

I've no idea where the slide depicts, and it's 99% certain it's not Normandy.  But it seemed appropriate.

Bonus - 

Name That Artist - Game 732

 

OK, the photographer was off target, but at least they included the info

St Paul de Vence, Maeght Fondation

...but that doesn't help the artist question.

The artwork is, of course, The Sorcerer of Hiva Oa (Marquesan Man in the Red Cape) painted in 1902 by 

Paul Gaugin

Four Bonus Points for HufflePuff.

Bonus - A tour of Scotland’s modernist churches – in pictures

A Juggernaut?

 

As usual, minimal information on the slide...other than a date of March 1973.

But that setting seemed Indian, and that item left of centre sparked the word "Juggernaut" so off to research that I went.

Yes, Juggernaut was right, and further digging suggested Buddhist Temple, Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.

Interesting.

Bonus - 

Ummmm ..... Bowls Trophies?

 

Whether you're a long-standing stalwart support of this Blog, or a recent recruit via Donald Trump's Tweet, welcome to the Slide Guy Blog.

And welcome that is the cultural phenomenon that is Tedious Tuesday. Every Tuesday, a tedious slide, and to day's slide is a beaut.

The Crown Green Bowling trophies of Mr Arth.... Oh.    You've fallen asleep.

Bonus - Dorset driver caught using phone at wheel: ‘It was baguette’    

Sure, a 4G Baguette running Android 16.

A tender moment between the two of them...

 

...before Wendy and Kenneth succumbed to their base instincts, and disappeared under table for some surprisingly loud and passionate love making.

And emerging in time for the sweet trolley.

Bonus - 

Aug 1973 Abstract Architecture

 

Yes.

Bonus - Three tough cowboys were sitting around the campfire one night, bragging about how fearless and rugged they are.

The first one says: "Just yesterday, I was walking along Dead Man’s Trail when a 12-foot rattlesnake slithered out from under a rock. I grabbed it, bit its head off, and sucked out all the venom. And here I am, still kicking!"

The second cowboy scoffs: "That’s nothing. Last week, I was passing by old Bill’s ranch. A 500-pound bull had escaped and killed Bill, his wife, and three passers-by. I grabbed that bull by the horns, flipped it upside down, and hogtied it so it couldn’t hurt anyone else."

The third cowboy didn’t say a word—he just kept poking the fire with his penis.
