Schnappi
I feel bad that my Follies post today was somewhat lame. Therefore, I am making it up to our readers the only way I know how: with some juvenile German "humor."For more about Schanppi, visit his Wikipedia page.
Father Abraham and the Smurfs
If you had to be locked in a small room for twenty-four hours with a musical novelty act, which would you prefer?1) Alvin and the Chipmunks
2) Barney the Purple Dinosaur
3) The Danish dogs who originally barked out "Jingle Bells" in 1955
4) Father Abraham and the Smurfs
Soggy, Mushy and Toughy
Who needs Iron Man or The Dark Knight, when you can watch Snap, Crackle and Pop battle their evil counterparts?

Vision in the Forest
More proof that one line-item in the Forest Service budget was devoted to extra-potent hallucinogens.

American Monsters
I enjoyed visiting the American Monsters site, a resource for cryptozoologists.But I regret that when I visited Crater Lake in Oregon, its scaly inhabitant was not showing himself.

The Elves of Iceland
Maybe the Icelandic banking meltdown can be remedied with pots of elvish gold.

The Mothra Song
I think we all need a little more Mothra in our lives. I myself intend to sing this song in times of personal crisis.

Spring Heel Shoe
The verdict is still out, however, on whether wearing them will turn you into the mythic monster known as Spring-heeled Jack.

Follies of the Mad Men #34
[From Life magazine for April 24 1964.]
Who ever knew that the female mammary gland was such a writhing, squirming, contorting, Blob-like object? (Page Steve McQueen for help!) There are 1,440 minutes in a day, so the copywriters are claiming that a woman's breasts morph dramatically ten times a minute, or every six seconds. Even while sleeping?
Thank God a Maidenform bra can tame these savage glands!
