This was a proposed Mustang "Wagon" (1979).  For reasons which should be obvious, the "Fox Body" hatchback won out over the proposed wagon.  This time, Ford didn't have a better idea and thankfully stuck to the hatchback.

When Friends Have Photoshop

One of the readers of this blog has an odd sense of humor (much as I do, apparently) and sent me the above picture.  All I can say is "I have a face well-suited for radio" and not so much for the big screens.

I've never been a big fan of the stuff--even of single malt.  I'm a craft beer guy.  Here's a clip from the delightful 1955 film Mr. Roberts in which Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon, and William Powell discuss the taste of scotch and how one might make their own--under wartime conditions, of course.

I Hope He Has a Good Hat . . .

I am truly amazed by the wonderful advances in medical technology.

But what do you do if you encounter this poor guy in line in the grocery store?

How do you not stare?  How do you keep your kids from gawking, crying, or saying something rude?

I hope this man's friends and family chip in and buy him a hat (or better a beenie) until his new nose is finally transplanted.

Wonderful?  Yes.  But also creepy.  I guess Picasso was more of a visionary than I thought.

What Am I Missing?

I receive lots of email advertisements and promos from companies I've ordered from in the past. 

But this one struck me as rather odd.  I can envision someone wanting to buy this guitar, or even this fake Christmas tree.  But why would anyone buying this particular guitar, buy it because they would also get a free fake Christmas tree?

Sounds Quite Reasonable to Me

I always tell people "unless your smart phone plays the actual tune to the `Song of Moses' from Exodus 15, turn it off during church."  This is even better.
