A Party For Peg

 

Possibly the last of the Christmas / New Year slides.

Today's was marked as "Party for Peg  Jan 64", so I guess that's Peggy being manhandled by strange old Uncle Herb.

After the Party

 

As the New Year Party winds down, Mrs Shenkman chats with her husband and they start to unravel, who, what when and why of their infidelities. 

The recriminations would last until Easter.

Bonus - The Web Design Archive

Happy New Year (Again)

 

Yes, another new year, and another slide from the "New Years Eve 1966" set, and I'm still not sure if they mean 31/12/1965 or 31/12/1966.

Even worse, the streamers have been thrown, and there is much dancing, drinking and snogging, so this image could be 1/1/66 or 1/1/67.  

Isn't life complex.

First Friday - PAR-TAY!!!

 

From sixty years ago, and a different party entirely.

First Friday is a tradition for the accounts department of Frisson, Mulgrew and Henderson, and we see them going wild...but still wearing their ties.

Hello 2023

 

Just I've managed to stop myself from typing the date as 2021, along comes another new year.

Happy New Year to any readers I may have.

Bonus - Not sure if I can be bothered to carry on blogging. It seems so... 2009-ish.

74th Tournament of the Roses (1963)

 

I've a whole box of slides for this parade, complete with descriptions of the slides. 

Well, descriptions of all slides...except this one.... but it's fairly self-explanatory. 1963, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Parades, crowds, etc.

If that's whetted your appetite, Youtube

Bonus - January the second is traditionally teh date I read about Social structure of frog-eating bats.

Bonus 2 - Syphilis has a complex linguistic history. Even as the English used to call it the French disease, the French called it the Neapolitan one. The Russians called it Polish, the Poles called it German, the Germans called it French and the Danish called it Spanish.

Happy New Year 2022!

 

From 55 years back, Edna Turnblood and Edgar van Dieman bring in the New Year after some sex-toy action.

Good riddance to 2021, and hoping for a better 2022.

Bonus - 

More of the Same

 

After the popularity of yesterday's Party Pic (I received just less than one email on the subject) I thought, Let's try the same again.  So, here we have Governor Hiram"BloodAx" Schenkelmen. I'll let you ponder how he got that nickname.

Bonus - A horrifying thought...

Happier New Year

 

Yes, it HAS been an odd year, but things should be getting better.

But lets look back to New Years Eve 1966, and a time when the biggest fear was Mrs McGovern's impromptu strip tease, accompanied by "Bobo" Wilson after 3 lessons on the banjo. While being watched by a sailfish suffering from locked-in syndrome.   Oh, and the ever present threat of all-out nuclear war.

Happier days.

Bonus - the SS Warrimoo, a ship which simultaneously crossed the International Date Line and Equator at 12 am on 31 Dec 1899 thus placing her in two different seasons, in two different hemispheres, on two different days, in two different months, in two different years, in two different centuries.

Bonus 2 - 

Ding Dong - The Orange Buffoon Is Gone

 

Yes, it looks like Joe Biden has gained enough EC votes to secure his position as President Elect.

Whether the bloviating Cheeto-faced cock-womble will leave without a fight is another matter.

Still, Americans all the way back to New Year's Eve 1962 have been celebrating.

Ummm....Happy New Year.

Yes, what better time to celebrate the new year, especially when the new year appears to be from 1962.

So, to celebrate the latest Boris Johnson / COVID 19 announcements  -  put on your glad-rags, and par-tay the night away.
