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.

A view of a dissected "Cotez's Organ", an auxiliary appendic that occurs on 7% of Norwegians.


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.

Bonus - Winners: Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards 2015

Mr Smug

With a face that any sane person (including me) would want to punch. Repeatedly. Here we have Mr Marvin Smug.

The Git.

Bonus - Cornish man caught performing sex act with campervan towbar

We'll be in Millbrae, I S'pose.

No doubt about it, I guess.

Bonus -  Interesting

Bonus - 29 years in Derby!

Bonus 2 -

Proof, as if any was really required, that having the family and friends round for "Our Trip To The Colonic Irrigation Facility" slide show is fun, Fun, FUN!

Even the poodle is having fun.

Bonus - A Fogfall ?

Time for Christmas Decorations

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.




Which brings to mind the wisest saying in the world
