He Is Beary Comfortable

It looks like all his is missing is a television and a remote.  Wonder what he would watch:  "Grizzly Adams"?  "Paddington"? or perhaps "Winnie the Pooh".

The photo was taken by Mandy Stantic when visiting a dump in Northern Manitoba, Canada when she spotted this fella chilling on a discarded sofa.

Doesn't this look like something that would be in "The Neverending Story" or a Disney film?

This creation is from Kim Beaton Studios where a group of friends got together in 2006 and crafted this sculpture is unbelievably crafted out of cardboard and paper mache.

Perhaps Auditioning for a "Roller Boogie" Reboot?


My cousin that lives in Hot Springs, Arkansas reposted the above video.  

Not sure what to say about this...he's got style, he's got grace, hoping he is not hit by a car and land on his face?

It is for sure giving me "Roller Boogie" vibes; it was a 1979 movie featuring the little girl from "The Exorcist" dancing on rollerskates and a song in the movie by Cher. (Trailer below).

VINTAGE PHOTO: 23 YEAR OLD JOHN WAYNE


When I was a kid I was fed a steady dose of silver screen legend John Wayne westerns, war movies, and cop dramas, but it was not until recently I stumbled across a picture of him as a young man.

It is hard to believe the rough and tumble tough guy was such a fresh-faced young lad.

UNUSUAL AD: 2016 TYLENOL COLD & FLU AD: FOR THE ONE TIME YOU WISH YOUR KIDS WOULDN'T SHARE

This ad was spotted at the end of a grocery cart at a Surplus store.

While it says you wish they wouldn't share, it is giving mixed messages because that seems to be exactly what they are doing.

Monument Circle, Indianapolis, Indiana - 1920



What a difference nearly 100 years has made!   Back then there was only one high rise building in the background at the far right; now, it is surrounded by high rise buildings. 

What is still there is the Soldiers and Sailor Monuments itself and the light on either side of it.

The photo above was taken 1920; the view from Google Maps below is from August, 2018
