my dog and pony show

"Leapin' lizards! You sure feel different, Sandy!" Arf!

Deseret Industries is the chain of thriftstores run by the Mormon Church, and the nearest store is 5 miles up the main drag so I have visited it a lot over the years. Why it is that an LDS establishment, since its members are supposed to shun alcohol, has been such a great place to find bar-room photos is beyond me. I was walking behind the store on a Sunday (ergo were closed and donations were stacked unprocessed) when I saw a large packet of photographs, and knowing that they'd only be tossed out I pocketed them. This packet provided about half of the pictures I was posting for the first year of the site's existance.

I wouldn't say I got "most" of them from Deseret -- or at the present time, since I've had three major infusions since that day, only one of which was courtesy of Deseret (someone was asleep at the switch, and 4 photo albums made by 2 different people made it to the sales floor with pictures still in them) -- but plenty of them, sometimes showing un-Mormon behavior. It's the random ones found at Goodwill across from my old apartment (in/near the frames, and in/near the photo albums) that break up the monotony. The dogz photo posted previously was a donation from someone's Spring cleaning.

Well that was a good hour of my work day spent. How fun, it's cool to take a look into another person's life and wonder what they were up to.

Exclamation and that's where I come in, memory reassignment duty

Heh, thank you... We take photographs of whatever moments so that we may remember them, correct? What happens when we are holding the photographs but we don't remember the moment they are supposed to remind us of?

lost memory even with the clue

Toby: Myself as well. I have a box of photos from eight years of going to summer camp, and there are some that I remember the moment like it was yesterday and other that I go "okay, what?"

Someone else is using the "show a found picture and caption it" concept, I discovered today -- and their specialty is slides. 17 years' worth of collecting found slides; I hardly ever find them but I can't say I've been looking or chose to pick one up.

Nice site, but I still like how you've set up your site. Easy to navigate, and view lots of pics in a short time.

My site was featured in Fred Langa's Langalist Newletter yesterday. Getting lots of hits/visits and emails from strangers. Neat!

Red face une autre

A friend back East sent me a fresh batch of found photos. And you can be the first to see cuz I likes you. This'll probably be in August's update.

Lori: I do believe you're referring to this particular item...



And somehow, I doubt she played the 'wife' role in the family...

As for our frumpy little darling with the basketball, I think she was practicing for the big leagues... if you've ever seen a pro roundballer have a tantrum, you know what I mean.

You can't fool me! I knows a pumpkin when I sees one. I waited all night in the pumpkin patch for this??? If I only had legs, I'd run over there and beat you up, Linus!

The experiment was a success! All those years spent wolfing down Doritos and Rocky Road paid off! As soon as her ear lobe was surgically connected to Blackie's kidneys, the dog's eyes began to glow and her concept for a new unlimited power source had been proven! They would become rich, but alas, would never walk the same again!

"Ain't no way, Osama! Just look what happened when you asked me to kick that 'soccer ball' through the Tel Aviv airport last year!"
