Put your pirates to work! Cleaning up is a lot like looting and pillaging!

Looking at Tacky Novelty Postcards while Waiting for a Train

[Alliecat]

Nice sense of atmosphere in this. That looks like an… interesting… train route

That looks like an… interesting… train route.

A Canadian acquaintance on another forum had the audacity to suggest to me that the Santa Fe railroad did not, in fact, have a branch line to Baffin Island; indeed, he went further and stated that rail service has never been available to Baffin Island. Yet here, in this very image, I offer evidence, including a rail poster featuring the Santa Fe Super Chief in the snow! Snow, I say! Obviously the vicinity of Baffin Island!

The Rocketeer Action Figure by Diamond Select Toys, circa 2019

Pants on fire...?

The Rocketeer has a cool outfit, and the flames are a nice touch.

Yes, the leather aviator jacket is quite stylish, I agree!

The display base is hollow, so I was able to place a small flashlight inside it to enhance the "glowing flames" effect for the photo.

Rocket Man singes his heels

A Flickr friend... I am truly blessed to have wonderful Flickr friends... noted that the picture I posted yesterday of this Rocketeer rocket man action figure made it appear that the poor fellow had eaten too many spicy beans at supper. The rocket pack he wears on his back was not entirely evident.

So here's a side view offering a better angle on the rocket pack.

However, now that the ex-plosively gaseous nature of this figure when attached to the included fiery display base has been made apparent to me, I find it impossible to see it in any other way.

This one's headed for the eBay bin.

I'd be lying if I said that hadn't crossed my mind as well.

Aww

Harry Potter Mini Action Figures
.

.

I spotted these miniature Harry Potter character figures in Walmart today. They're kinda cute. I was tempted. But I already have too much stuff.

They cost about ten dollars for a 2-pack, five dollars for single figures, and there's a twenty dollar set that includes a fireplace diorama and two figures.

I don't know why the photo is jaggy and blurry. This stupid Samsung phone camera is supposed to have, like, the best camera ever in the history of mobile devices. What a bunch of hype.

.



This just made me laugh. The mainstream media is always carping about "the obesity epidemic" while simultaneously trying to give us all mental breakdowns by criticizing us for "body shaming" and at the same time pushing medication for high blood pressure, sleeplessness, and digestive issues. Then I walk in to the store and see this: Lucky Charms marshmallow breakfast cereal pancake mix. And, hey, while we're at it, let's stop pretending that eating has anything whatsoever to do with nutrition or health and go full-on with a candy bar pancake mix.

That’s a fun little set. He needs somebody to help him keep a little more organized.
The candy bar pancakes made me laugh. Yuk. Indeed, you need safe and effective medications to keep you healthy, because eating wholesome natural food and exercising isn’t a thing 

[davidd]

Mehhh.... I had typed out, like, a paragraph and stuff, and then my Internet connection dropped out and it all vanished.

I phoned the Internet Service Provider... who was supposed to have sent out a technician, like, two days ago, and left my number for a callback that hasn't happened yet. Now the Internet connection is back... for the moment... so I just need to get my pic posted before it drops off again.

Planking... but not, like, the online foto fad from a decade ago

[Alliecat]

More fun perspective. ...That was a decade ago?? It's terrifying how fast time goes.
Someplace has worse internet than we do? Wow.
If it has any length to it, always type in Notepad or Word and paste!
