You want Tedious on a Tuesday?

 

You Got It.


First image is what you would see .... as a human. Yup. Very Boring.


Second Version is the same image, as viewed by a Crawshaw's Salamander. That's an odd little amphibian, which uniquely, sees images not in RedYellowBlue, but in MauveWhitePaisleyLemon.


Bonus - How many times must you fold a paper to reach the Moon?

The Happy Engaged Couple

 

Ah yes.   I recognise these guys.

The not-so-happy guys from here, and here, and indeed here.

I wonder what happened to them...

Bonus - 

Three...

The Happy (?) Engaged Couple

 

Bob seems happy enough.

Cindy seems ... less so.

Later slides example show that Cindy said yes, and wore the ring, but who knows if Cindy took the first opportunity to high-tail iot out of Dodge City.

Bonus - RIP Mikhail Gorbachev. Here's a pic of him with Ronnie Raygun. Curious that both  have well-worn-in shoes, rather that pristine Sunday-Best shoes.

Laying Low on the Costa Bravo

 

Slide number 5000 !

Google tells me that this post number 4943, so sometime I'll have to investigate...

But, Slide 5000 looks like Harry "Fingers" Hardy and Felix "The Wheel" Rochester of the Clerkenwell Mob have to hide out  in Spain until the heat dies down on the Ashbury Street Post Office job.

Bonus - Americans don't seem very good at estimating things.

The Engagement

 

Not all proposals of marriage are made on a spectacular beach in Fiji, or atop a mountain on a crisp September Morning.

Sometimes, the proposal is made accepted and marked with a ring in a dingy flat in (possibly) suburban Madrid.

Still, as long as they're happy.

Bonus - The Outrageous Baby Names Parents Picked In 2017.    "Lucifer....stop doing that to Solaris."

The Ziggurat of Wedding Presents

 

All-Girl Bridal Showers seems to have replaced the old fashioned wedding gifting events, where (as shown above) both Bride and Groom were present.  I'm wracking my brain for the phrase used from my childhood, but ... nope. It escapes me.

I wonder if these two escaped the hell of getting twelve different toasters.

Bonus - Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were sent to the electric chair for being Soviet spies, but their sons have spent decades trying to clear their mother’s name. Are they close to a breakthrough?

The Golden Girls On Tour

 

Obviously not THE Golden Girls of sit come frame, but a gang of twilight years ladies, out for adventure and mischief.

Bonus - Speaking of the Golden Girls, Betty White started her television career in 1939, and is still going ! (Most recent role was in Toy Story 4 in 2019.

Bous 2 - Mieow Antoinette

Dinner with the Muldoons

 

This slide perplexes me. Yes, it's a meal out with two middle aged couples, but...

Where?    They seem to be squeezed between two wooden wardrobes. Possible the LH wardrobe has a mirror, accounting for the light over Mildred Muldoon's face.

And.... cutlery. It seems a little haphazard. Fish knife for Maurice Muldoon, but the plates seem rather "dessert-y".

Odd.

Bonus - Sadly, RIP Cloris Leachman.
