Bear Tagging

 

I've said it before, I'm saying it again, and I'll probably say it in the future...

People Photograph The Oddest Things.

I guess that this sort of vandalism / graffiti / tagging was new and unusual at some point, so maybe I can understand the effort to catalogue this new artform.

Maybe.

Underwear on a washing line

 

It's been said before, but ...

People Photograph The Oddest Things

In this case, two ladies sit and discuss vital matters of the day, while in the background, a young lad practises his ice-skating flourishes, while behind him, some rather large bloomers dry on a washing line.

Hmmmm.

Bonus - Just when I think I've figures out modern news, I read   Bidding war over fast-food costume renews old feud over Canadian snack

It's a hobby.

Bonus - The Slide Guy blog may be updated intemittently for the next few days - even the world's finest blogger needs a break.

I think that this slide explains itself, so I don't have to

Bonus - Be+Bop+Deluxe on OGWT

Ummmm A Care Package ?

Ummm.


I'm genuinely bamboozled by this slide.   What is the

context?


My best guess is that it's a care package sent to some overseas Peace Corp do-gooder, who sent this slide back as proof that it arrived.

That Life Magazine dates it as 1966.

But .... Canned French Fried Onions?????

It's seemed like a fairly ordinary, perhaps dull, slide from a village fete, However, closer inspection reveals...

How Rare. It looks like Prose carved into a black marble slab, but... it rather poor prose (IMHO) and the opening lines turn up nother on Google. As usual, there's no context on the slide, although it's probably American.

Bonus - It's an "Alexander's Star"

Big Bucking Bunny

Rather a damaged slide, I'm afraid, with a lot of dust / mold that wouldn't rub off. Sorry.

But what an image !  A brace of brave boys, bareback on a big bucking buck bunny.

I suspect that this dates from the very early sixties, and could be from Hulstead's Wall Drug Store, as featured in this early blog post. Heavens - was that really two years ago?
