Being a construction of your humble blogger Tepid Halibut, with the aim of posting one vintage slide image per day, from now until Kingdom Come. (Or until Mr Halibut gets bored.)

The Suburban Horror
Who knows what unspeakable horrors were acted out behind those front doors...
Looks Dutch to me...
Bonus - Reindeers will change their eye colour from brown to blue in the winter to help see in low light conditions. Making it Rudolph's eyes and not his red nose that helped Santa that night.

Return of the FLF.
It's been a while since we last had some normal people to ridicule and lambast.
So, welcome back this example of FLF. (That's Funny Looking Folks.)
"Shorty Bob" McGoldrick, and is mistress, Miss Phoebe Fungle. Yes, it's true.
Bonus - Don't conflate FLF with Flerf and Flerfers. Flerf is Flat Earth, and it's proponents need to be mocked and ridicules.
For Example

Scene from a Noir Movie
This was from the same box as yesterday's flower-arranging one, so I suspect the photographer liked the Rosedale Nurseries display.
But, the image seemed more Film Noir than Fantastic Flower.
Bonus - Horn Measuring event in Shaunavon, tonight

N.Y. Florists' Club Past Presidents Trophy ... Winner
I suppose that the sign might apply to the neighbouring flower arrangement, but... I think not.
No, I did not digitally boost the red in that slide - that's how it came out from the scanner.
Bonus - Today, I learned about the Cox-Zucker Machine.
Bonus 2 - Yesterday it was so cold out that I took a man into my home out of the kindness of my heart. In hindsight, this was a very bad idea. Anyway, I felt so sorry for him, the poor thing was standing stiff and frozen out in the cold, but this morning he had just vanished. Not a word... not even a goodbye or thank you for sheltering him.
The last straw? When I realized he had peed all over the floor!! That's the "thank you" I get for being nice to strangers that can't help themselves...
I am posting this so you all can watch out for people like this. He is heavyset, wearing nothing but a scarf, he has a pointy nose, two black eyes, and his arms are very very skinny almost like sticks. Don't bring people like this into your home!! What a mess he made on my floor...

Ominous Cloudforms
Today's Tedious Tuesday slide is , well, a bit of a cheat.
It's a terrible slide, but I've spent a few seconds darkening the skies, while lightening the buildings.
Now, it's only 43% as tedious as the original . You're welcome.
Bonus - Had this song refrain stuck in my brain all day. I’m gonna feed our children non-organic food.
Bonus 2 - Lake Superior is called "The Lake that Never Gives Up Her Dead." It's cold enough that bodies sink and don't bloat then turn into adipocere (mummified soap) over time, and in the depths of Lake Superior there really isn't anything to eat the corpses.

Mr & Mrs King
Celebrating 48 years of married bliss, Mr & Mrs Jeremy King pose for a slide. I guess that the main slide would have been from a closer position, as Jeremy is a little self-conscious about his shortness.
Bonus - I'm going to avoid talking about Trump's Mob, but...
