New Years Party 1966

I suspect this slide dates from the NY Eve side of the event, so let's prepare to party.

Bonus - Even the longest journey...

...end badly.

Kids Love Coke

As promised / demanded, a complete change from Christmas themed slides. Phew.

As you see, Kids Do Love Coke ... tho' I suspect that that may not be genuine Coca-Cola in the bottle.

Bonus -

Card Against Humanity.  Crazy Game but Very Nice People

Also ... this

Name That Aircraft

OK aviation fans.

Name that aircraft !


Answer - Here




Bonus - R.I.P. Lemmy.  A rocker never afraid of self-deprecation.

Bonus 2 - You may have seen it already, but

Hungover Christmas Baby

Getting Tired of Christmas slides?

Yeah. Me too.

So, lets sign out with a clearly hungover ankle-biter.

More stuff tomorrow.

Bonus

A Minimalist Christmas

That dress!   Those Teeth!   That Sideboard!    Those Decorations !

Those Curtains!!!    I want them.

And best of all, the slide is labelled.

Peggy Fulcher at Huffmans, Christmas 62

Fan-Tastic !

Bonus - For Arkangel

Under The Christmas Tree

The presents have been opened, but the nativity scene remains.

NB Only one of these kids grew up to be a geography teacher. Can you guess which one ?

Bonus - LOVE IT !

Merry Christmas Everyone

Hope you all got what you wanted - whether it was two Huckleberry Hound ceramic figurines, a suspicious half-bottle of moonshine (empty by noon I guess) or a complete lack of fashion sense (Red and Green??)

Now... Back to the Sprouts.

Start The Countdown

Yes, It's Christmas Eve

Time to look out the Christmas Stocking, pour a gass of milk / Sherry for Santa, and ready the Budweiser box of firewood. ("New Tab Top Cans")

I bet you're excited.

Bonus -'Not really appropriate' human bones decorating church's Christmas display removed

The Christmas Carol Choir

A 1951 vintage slide, and unfortunately, the passage of time has spoiled it while we can.

So, let's enjoy it while we can.


Bonus - Knoxville Zoo chimps use tools to confront wayward raccoon

Bonus 2 -My Christmas Tradition

In The Cockpit

In the middle of a bunch of "churches, and gardens and holidays" slides, this one rather caught the eye.

Any guesses what sort of plane it might be?

Bonus -

Farm Boy

Young lad, surprised and delighted by some city boy with a camera.

No doubt his grandfather/brother is sneaking up on the photographer, with axe poised...

Bonus -Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill

Up A Tree

Yes. As per the title.    Young Lady and a Young Boy. Up a tree. In Coconino Forest

Bonus - Fractal Cauliflower

Bonus 2 - Failed.

Madge. On The Edge

Some of you will recognise this image as being from one of my first Slide Guy calendars.  Great, isn't it?

Bonus - Wow !

The Happy Honeymooners

A frustrating lack of info on this slide - where have I heard that before.

I'm guessing that this is in Yosemite National Park, and from the 1950's , tho' that might be John Hamm on the right.

Bonus - Nope. No idea of the story of this.

Mrs Harrison, of Wetton

From a box of slides documenting the history of Wetton in Derbyshire/Staffordshire, this was marked as "Mrs Harrison".
Whether that refers to one of the pictured ladies, or the owner is the original picture...I dunno.

Bonus - The ‘driest place on Earth’ is covered in pink flowers after a crazy year of rain

Bonus 2:

The Penthouse Swimming Pool.

Today's slide is from 1959, and seems to feature three friends at a rooftop swimming pool.

No doubt, seconds later, they would strip off and indulge in some sorority skinny-dipping.

Well, no doubt in my mind.

Bonus - A soap bubble freezing.

Judy and Joyrette

That's what the slide had written on it...

"1950 May 6 Judy and Joyrette, Derby, Mich"

...so who am I to argue.

Not a forename that I've heard before.

Bonus : Impressive hangtime

Bonus 2 :

65 - 12747

After yesterday's Crowd-Pleasing swimsuit shot, today we head off in the opposite direction.

Bonus - Frankly Astonishing

Milly, Mungo and Maisie

From a review of almost one begging letters, it's time for a "Teenage Girls in Swimsuits" Post.

Two shapely young ladies, and a younger bother, in some frankly bizarre swimwear.  Still, pre-spandex I suppose.

Bonus - Now that's a surprise...(Warning : F!!!! !)
Curses. Deleted.
Try this.

Show Me Your Presents

Yes, more Christmas slides.

Everyone seems thrilled with their presents, and nice to see a game of Chutes and Ladders, catering for the extreme Ophidiophobics.

Bonus - And finally… G-string wearing homeless ex-lawyer high on crystal meth and crack cocaine mistakes woman and kids for giant panda

The Christmas Tree

Centrepiece of the Christmas Decorations.

Because Little Baby Jesus was born in a manger, and umm  mangers are made of wood.... so the tree is sacred. Or summink.

Yes, it's time to look out the tree and tinsel.

Bonus - The jubremony at the library.   O_o

The Window Display

One of the lesser known fetishes :  Agalmatophilia

Here we have Frederick and Sophie pretending to be mannequins - standing there still for up to 12 hours a day. The Pageboy, however, is not part of the scene and is merely a real mannequin.

Or is he?

Bonus - 30 Amazing Street Posters

The Three Bears

From the left - Momma Bear, Baby Bear and Poppa Bear.
