Spoon day
Yay me, I have already done my meager daily quota of listing five things on eBay. Today was little sets of those small coke souvenir spoons offered to tourists nearly anywhere you go.
I have more interesting stuff, though, honest. Like the 1968 film (on a reel! In a can!) called "It's Wonderful Being a Girl" which seems to have been made for those SPECIAL girls-only health classes, where you learn how to SAFETY PIN a big ol' hunk of cotton padding to your underpants. (This one ends this evening, BTW.)
Then there's this cool book from 1934, "How to Train Dogs for the Home, Stage, and Moving Pictures."
Do you know anyone who wants to build a database of sound effects? This is a batch of 12 different LP records--yeah, those old black vinyl disk things!
This one is just kind of fun, a roll of 21 laminated pages from two issues of the Pueblo (Colorado) Chieftain, in the fall of 1939.
This little snapshot of a few days that rolled by 65 years ago just intrigues me to little mint balls. A trolleycar was BOMBED by three people in a car who pulled ahead of it, set a shoebox (with a BOMB!) on the tracks and zoomed away. WHY? We will never know.
It was Friday 13th All Right
"Phoenix, Ariz, Oct 13--(AP)--When a black widow spider crawled up his pants leg and bit him on the right knee, Bryan Thacker, 45 year old Maricopa County courthouse gardener, received emergency room treatment and returned to his job.
A few minutes later another black widow crawled up the other leg and bit Thacker twice. He was sent to a hospital.
In other headline news, Feasibility of Death Ray Not Yet Proved to Science in U.S (It's about what Hitler might be up to.)
We just don't get this kind of intensive news coverage these days!
