Silly pics...what'cha got??....maybe NSFW

Ya Im sure that wouldn't get stolen at the airport at all.

[Kasey Chang]

it's just a slip on cover though. Once slash from a box cutter and it's toast.

I can see my house from here.

[GreenGoo]

I knew it!

[LordMortis]

I had a toy with a map that looked like that when I was very young. For some reason I remember it with a magnet controlled fly which navigated the streets. That absolutely cannot be correct so now I'm trying to sort through memories of when I was like four years old and am totally failing.

Hah this is magnet toy I was thinking of

Which must have been in the same toybox as a map that looked like that.

[Holman]

Yeah, that's just a classic playmat for toy cars that has been around for 50 years. I had it, and I think every kindergarten everywhere today still has it.

[Holman]

It's clearly not the same art, but I think I always conflated it with Richard Scarry.

Holy crap, when you see something you haven't thought of in 40 years.

most people played that game incorrectly. You are supposed to wave the wand at the bee's butt, and the opposing magnetic force would cause it to jiggle down the path. Everyone I knew just had the magnet grab the bee by his nose and drag him through the maze. Where is the challenge in that?

[GreenGoo]

And the world's first rules lawyer is born.

[LordMortis]

I don't remember there being a game, as is evidenced by my confusing it with a playmat that I couldn't find online. I just remember I enjoyed dragging the insect around and around and around. I have an intuitive love for physics. I just don't have the brain power to power of mathmatics to pursue a life long observational love.

The caterpillar has transformed into a beautiful butterfly.

[stessier]

That is awesome. And I'm probably a bad person for thinking it.

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone.

Somebody play the Circle of Life song from The Lion King!

Clearly Hollywood wants us to believe that the turtle's life is more important than the bird or her chick's life.

[Unagi]

lol. are all your posts sarcastic or just this one?

That Black Bolt, he’s quiet in the sack, but...

declassified propaganda posters aimed at NSA employees, dating from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

1950s were a better time.

No.

[JetFred]

As long as you were wh...never mind, this is silly pics.

[dbt1949]

The 50s seemed better at the time. Looking in retrospect tho no, I'm afraid not.
Much less to worry about tho. Just the A Bomb and commies.
The average family had a small b&w tv with few channels and crappy shows. No AC for most people.
Cars did not last to 100,000 miles, more like 50,000. Not much in the way of electronic gadgets and listening to the radio was still popular.
And let's not get into politics and race and absolutely no PCness anywhere.
Altho................haircuts were less than a dollar and large candy bars were a nickle.

Agreed. A fantastic modern take on Lovecraft-style fiction.

Country Time lemonade is going to pay the fines and fees for anyone kids that get busted for having a lemonade stand. Love the marketing concept.

[Daehawk]

Sucky ass country. Leave kids alone with their stands.

It's the kids' own fault for not updating their privacy policy in time.

[GreenGoo]

Stop selling salmonellaide and the health inspector won't bother you so much.

Still, this is pure marketing. While it's true that some kids have been hassled by "the man" on occasion, it's hardly a problem of epic proportions. It's barely on the order of "a tuna fish sandwich that eats YOU? More at 11" scale of news.

In Soviet Russia, Tuna Sandwich eats YOU!

They were the ones calling the city, only to later swoop in and defend the kids.

It's the most serious conspiracy theory I can support.

In my neighborhood, every time I see a cop at a lemonade stand, he's buying lemonade.

Sooo.. newborns are born sexist? 6-8 months to be able to see the male in the relationship? That's poor upbringing I say!

I thought the point was that giraffes were not visible until 11 months.
