An album cover I could have gone a lifetime without seeing.

An Album Title that is FRAUGHT with peril!
Handsome fellow.

Handsome fellow.

A charming fellow.
I suspect he was promoted so frequently because he kept killing the employees ahead of him. Preferred technique: Pencil in the throat.

Sullen little weasel makes good, thanks to our courses

The gawdawful cheapness of 70s home electronics. You know it’s wood-grained plastic. As I’ve said before: the only thing for which they should have used wood-grained plastic was the coffin of the man who invented wood-grained plastic. 

Nothing screams ANALOG like 70s “digital” branded electronics. How is this a “digital” clock radio? Because it has pictures of numbers that change with the minutes, as opposed a clock with hands…..

Then, State’s evidence at the trial.
The perils of Barfly Prey in Bakersfield…..

Brother, she’s already sized you up but good - a night of drinks, a few laughs, cab fare out of your wallet when you’ve passed out. Good luck. (Front Page Magazine, 1953.)

I see a typo: “at ease in every social situation with both sexes” which I believe was supposed to be: ” at a ease tease in every social situation with both sexes”
Which was EXACTLY as we saw her on TV.
“She’s a top fashion model, a fine actress, nuclear physicist, political consultant, and brain trust behind the hugely successful Miss Cleo.”

lileks:

Susan Dey: if you were here you might be next to DAVID - but she’s also at ease in every social situation with both sexes, and hence has secrets to impart. Lesson one: be lovely and contradict no one

Are we certain that this is from Moscow IDAHO, and not some other Moscow? Reds are everywhere, and I know because we are made of RED blood cells!

THANK GOD FOR THE ATOM BOMB! I TALKED WITH GOD AND WE ARE ALSO MADE OF ATOMS

That is AWESOME!
I will admit, I never envisioned Jane in this depiction when I saw The GoGos at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium back in the early 80s.

lileks:

Jane Wiedlin does Art Frahm, complete with CELERY. I’m still vain enough to think I am responsible for the CELERY.

Famously known as the “yeah, buddy” wink.
Yeah, buddy!

1958: Astronaut reacts to his co-astronaut having a lovely lady-astronaut on his lap. (Frame grab from craptacular “Missile to the Moon.”)

See Threepio? Depends on what he’s doing. From the “Star Wars Iron-On Transfer Book.” 

I admit: I had the book.
Tragically.
C’mon - I was only 10 or 11.

If they make an Ant-Man movie, will they show the progression through GIant-Man, and finally Yellow Jacket?
Ponder…
lileks:

Okay, after this I can die happy. There might be a Dr. Strange movie. Of course, there might be an Ant-Man movie, too. I’d rather see Strange first - but only if they don’t make Dormammu a misunderstood leader who’s just defending his homeland. Er, home dimension. 
Kevin Spacey for Baron Mordo, no doubt. George Takei as the Ancient One.
