Limbering Up For A Party

Good Lord !  It's New Years Eve already !  Better start preparing for the party.

Brushes to limbo under and watered down booze.  Stale crisps and horrible music.

On second thoughts....

Bonus - 2016 - F**K. Excellent illustration of the main shock of the year.

Just A Tiddler

Another addition to the whole "We Haz Fishes" genre of slide.

This time, featuring a little tiddler.  Hold a small fish.

Bonus - Topless 22YO Female.

Bonus 2 - Finally !

The Red Tractor

...and I'm back.  Sorry, I was distracted by some rather severe indigestion :-)

So, today's pic is a  lad playing with his favourite Christmas toy - a new Murray Trac Pedal Tractor and an improvised trailer.  These, unsurprisingly, are now quite sought after.

Bonus - Watch Out New Zealand - Israel is watching you...

Bonus 2 - Harsh

Greek City Besieged by Giants

Description as per title of post.

Bonus - ...and this, son, is the hooman tha I adopted before you.

Nothing more to say.

Fort Sumter.   SC.

Bonus - At the Book Store...

Charlie and Bob- Meet A Puppy

Back to the Charlie and Bobseries.

Today - C and B meet a black labrador puppy. Or maybe a black panther adolescent.

Bonus - Today would have been The Prof's 98th Birthday.

Merry Christmas from Stan and Elaine

As we approach Christmas, I'm sure you'll be inundated by hundred of Facebook Festive messages.

Me ?    Meh. Maybe I'll leave it to the Herschenschmidts, who lefts this message : "Clear off, you weirdo!".

Bonus - Bo Taoshi

...Happy Little Trees.

I don't believe that this painter is actually Bob Ross, but I like to thing that she's been influenced by him.  Certainly, there's a large number of Happy Little Trees just waiting to be painted.

Bonus - What's the Point of Revolving Doors?
Bonus 2-

Two Lads

Sorry.


In a rush.

Gotta Go !

A Veritable Torrent of ... Water

Seems like a while since the last "Landscape" format slide.

So, where in the world.

The slide says "Bhagdaon Durgar Sq", which would suggest it's what's now Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

However, the torrent in the background is worrying.

Bonus - A few days ago say the death of Peter Vaughn.   Here's a favourite music video that he (and other familiar faces) can be spotted in.

(Not) The Christmas Decorations

Finally, a slide with a bit of info on it, but.... it only intrigues me more.

"Port Moresby" it said.

However, I can't figure out what this building (?) is.   There's a definite architectural resemblance to the Parliament Building, so I'm guessing that the parliament building was inspired by this form of structure.

But who knows for sure.

Bonus -

...Luxembourg

People photograph the strangest things...

Luxembourg


Bonus - Legit Hit

Bonus 2 - Owl Heaven

Too Early

Is it too soon for slides of Christmas Trees, Christmas Presents, Christmas Decorations and expectant kid in their jammies, staring at thenon-existent pile of Christmas Presents?

While today is 12-12-2016 (or 12-12-2016 if your 'merican) there does appear to be a restraint in the Christmas Decorations around Slide Villa.

Bonus - Christmas Cheer - Oh No...

Celebrating Clapper's Day

Hugh, Mary, Mary and Mary-Jane at the annual "Clapper's Day" celebration.

This festival has been rarely documented but has been an integral part of Beaverton's December events since 1890. And these four intend to continue the frankly mysterious tradition for as long as poss.

Bonus - Friendly Fire at Pearl Harbor.

Bnus 2 -

Out In The Badlands

'Murica!  Hell Yeah !

There's a wonderful retro style to many of these slides, and a strange familiarity about the scenery. No information on where or when, but my heart shouts Nebraskan Badlands, and 1950's.

I may be wrong of course.

Bonus - The Quest For The World's Largest Frying Pan

Bonus 2 - US Navy - SAILOR AND THE SEAGULL

The Secret Waterfall

Situated on the Narnia / Middle Earth boundary.

Bonus -
Road Rage - oops.

The Incorrect Use of Benches

Yes, the American Schools System has broken down to such an extent that even the simple act of Sitting On A Bench is beyond the capability of most 12th Graders.

Whatever that means.

Bonus - Dealing with a Fly-Tipper. Using a Drone.

Seventy Five Years

A simple graphic slide, for the anniversary of Pearl Harbour.

There's A Tree By The River

Somebody thought this was worth photographing.  And wort keeping.

Loser.

Bonus 1 - Tree By The River

Bonus 2 -

Posing with JFK

I had assume that the location of this sculpture would be quite easy to work out...but it isn't.

First thought was JFK Airport, but no...

I then thought it was the Felix de Weldon sculpture, but no...

So...I', puzzled. Anyone out there recognise it ?

Bonus : Hippo + Watermelons

"Paging Doctor Zoidberg"

"Heavens!  What's that?"

I dunno, it looks like....umm...I just don't know."

"Maybe we need - Doctor Zoidberg !

Bonus - CFB

That Delayed Moment of Realisation

Thirty one years later, Donald realised what Hank really meant.

At his Junior Prom, when Hank said "Nice Outfit, Donny" ... he wasn't really being complimentary, was he?   It was... sarcasm ?   Damn.

Bonus : The sad story of Donald Crowhurst and the Round-the-world hoax.

Bonus 2 :

Mine, Mine, It's All Mine

Hey, if you don't want cruddy puns, try another blog.

Today, our slide is of a "Mine, Underwater, Mk 49 Mod 2"

ANd if you happen to have one yourself, here is some information about it.

Bonus - Aurora Borealis Over Iceland’s Jokulsarlon Glacier Lake

Waiting For Menus

The less successful follow-up to "Waiting For Godot".

Bonus - The Economics of Popcorn

Bonus 2 - The curious history of the Gävle Goat
