Garbage In, Garbage ONT

Still off schedule from Christmas, so this is going to be a throw-everything-in-the-hopper-and-see-what-comes-out kinda ONT. Had a weird day at work, the cleaning lady at my office asked me if I wanted to smoke a joint with her. I had to decline, I don't like dealing with high maintenance women.

Holiday Leftovers

These are all things I didn't get to post before Christmas. Like gift ideas:

And holiday mix-ups:

And a Fido Friday clip:

Foreign traditions that sound pretty cool:

And Christmas cards from West Virginia:

And I think that's about it for Christmas stuff until next year.

Cartoon Shorts

Anyone remember these from when you were a kid?

These were staples of weekday afternoon TV viewing in the 70s. WBFF, UHF chanel 45, whould show the Captain Chesapeake (Ahoy crew members!) program for after school viewing. The program was the usual mix of 60s and 70s sitcoms (I Dream Of Jeanie, Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes, Brady Bunch, etc..) and cartoons, like the two above. I love the spot on mid-60s aesthetic of the cartoons, if mid-century modern was a cartoon, those are the cartoons it would be.

As long as I'm on the subject, I'll confess to an unpopular opinion. Maybe because of repeated viewings on Cap't C, I like the Gene Deitch run of Tom & Jerry. He directed a dozen or so in 1961, and a ton of people pan them as awful, but I like 'em. That had a zeitgeist all their own, unlike the rest of T&J. (These were shows like High Steaks, Calypso Cat, Dicky Moe, It's Greek To Me-Ow...yeah, those ones.) Now get off my lawn.

Yes, I have a few.
