Whoever’s catching those monkeys, our zoo could use their help, frequently.
Capybara, world’s largest rodent…
Watch out crossing the bogs. Those ROUSs are of great concern
What game is that?
This game? It’s called life, sometimes Garden of Eden
Window pic is manufactured form based on HoMM3.
Plus some based txt from WT.
I thought that looked familiar
I can’t remember what thread we posted the other archive footage of Britain in so I’ll just hope it was here
Fined five shillings for riding a bicycle on the path and being a woman ' did I understand right that the police paid their fine for them?
I love that in their youth they were cheeky to those with old fashioned views as they embraced new possibilities, but have to wonder what things they found strange and confusing and couldn’t agree with in the 70s.
I sometimes wonder what stuff I will be unsure or worried about at that age. I like to think I’ll always be progressive and open minded but you can never guarantee where or who you’ll be in decades to come.
That photo of them all by the park bench is amazing. Like an American biker gang from the 50s but it’s Victorian London.
I love the way she sang the song as if she’d thrown back a few pints
I helped a friend rescue a lost kitten some absolute scrotes were chasing after on bikes with fireworks/bangers one Halloween.
He named it Jack then found out MUCH later jack was female. She’s still Jack. Just like our lil drainpipe friend John here.
I thought Female names for Male cats would be a more common mistake considering it can be hard to tell when they’re that age at a glance.
Well my daughter named hers Wilkens after the coffee in the old Kermit the frog commercial and she already knew the cat was female. The cats don’t seem to care.
Things I miss from my childhood…
Every cool adult had a Gary Larson “page a day” tear-away calender. I’m sure those have an actual name.
You just don’t see Larson on display like you used to.
Apparently he retired sometime in the 1990s. He found he was running out of ideas, and starting to repeat himself - so rather than go downhill, he just stopped. Takes a brave man to do that.
I wish the Dilbert guy would do the same… That is one HELL of a rabbit hole to fall down into if you decide to look him up.
I miss the Sunday funnies. The only way to get a printed paper these days is get to WalMart on Sunday morning and grab one. I miss the old paper dispensers you dropped your coin into and could pull one out. I am certain it would spell disaster for many of them today. It’s for the best they are electronic now.
I remember pulling each section apart and after hitting the headlines and local news, finding the comics, having a good laugh and then working the crossword.
At least Doonesbury will never run out of material
My local paper’s online edition has the ability to read all sections, including comics and to do the crosswords.

I still get a chuckle out of the toon of a dog in a pickup leaning out the passenger window and with glee telling another one outside that he was “going to the vet to get tutored!”
I still go to WalMart and get the paper one There as so many uses for the paper afterward.
