On The Boardwalk

 

There's precious little sunshine hear today.

But in his slide ... plenty.

I suspect that this might be the Boardwalk, at Atlantic City in Noo Joisee.

Bonus - CEEFAX

Young Love?

 

The Bride and Groom??

That was my first thought, but I'm not convinced. It certainly doesn't seem like the Happiest Day Of Their Lives, does it.

And the deep blue dress, rather than the traditional white?  Maybe this is just the Best Man and Bridesmaid.

It sort of fits, with the audience / congregation focusing on something else, behind them.

Who knows?

Bonus - Also in the What The Hell corner...

Edith, from the Accounts Department

 

I'm guessing that that's the Grand Canyon, but I dunno.

Bonus - Practical Betterments

The American Consulate ... Somewhere

 

I was debating whether to spend several hours /days trying to track down where in the world this was.

From other slides in the box, it was likely to be South America, but .... Nah. Life's too short to bother.

Bonus - werner herzog's sad beige toys

Bonus 2 - 

...and this one is for Mummy

 

What?  MORE Christmas Day Slides?

Yes.   Blame the Americans of the 1950's for taking so many Christmas Day pictures.

Bonus : 

Chilly around the Weekend

 

Looks like someone's has a woopsie on the ice.

With my warped and odd brain, I was intrigued to see a medical gurney with wheels used on ice., but I suppose it still needs wheeled to the ambulance once it's off the rink.

Bonus - Still on the UK PM fiasco... 

Here's Boris !

Terri's Torpedo Tits

 

I am reliably informed, that this phenomenon is informally known as Torpedo Tits, and is the result of the then-fashionable "Rounds Them Up and Point Them Forward" bra design.   Admittedly, using it for a wedding dress, and with anonymizing sunglasses makes me suspicious that this is some odd retro-porn set-up.

Bonus - 

Overjoyed by the Grandkids' Visit

 

Being a non-parent, I just don't get the level of happiness that this bloke has. The arrival of snotty, bratty, smelly little ankle-biters?  Yeuch.

Bonus - 

The Old Girls' Reunion

 

They had spent 1918 flat on their backs, entertaining the off-duty cavalry officers of Camp Pendleton.

Now, fifty years later, they reunited to remember the good times, the bad times, and (of course) Big George.

Bonus - 

Snowball Fight

 

It's been a chilly day, here in Slideville...with quite a misty, foggy atmosphere.

However, this snowballers seems to enjoying their weather, and will probably head indoors to a mug of Hoit Chocolate and marshmallows soon. Lucky beggars.

Bonus - Vintage Japanese Gas Attack Posters, 1938

Bonus 2 - A Brief History of Medical Face Masks

Hipster Fashion Throwback

 

Funny thing about fashions.

Wait 30 or sixty years, and things become fashionable again.

Like Nancy's checkered golf slacks, and Troy's patterned shirt.  Probably trendy for influencers nowadays.

Bonus - Thanks to JayN, I've been heading down the punk nostalgia rabbit hole.  eg  The Dead Kennedys Kill The Poor.

Bonus 2 - X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

Economic and Commercial Section

 

Well, that appears to be what's written above the doorway.

I wonder why someone photographed this...

Bonus - Warship Hit By Monster Wave Near Antarctica. Gulp

Bonus 2 - 

Sleeping Baby

 

Curious thing about babies. They all look sweet and innocent in pictures, but they could have grown up to be Drug Dealers, or Nurses, or Embezzlers, or High Court Judges, or Olympic Medallists, or Social Media Influencers.

So much potential for Good or Evil.

Bonus -    Mr Lordi lead singer of Finnish band Lordi gets his second vaccine dose in Rovaniemi.
