I propose a little contest


Recommended Posts

Y'all ever collect Batman bubble gum cards in the 60s? They had a little mystery written on 'em that BM would solve. One I recall is when a bank robber refused to tell Chief O'Hara where he hid his loot, saying "I'll never run outta gas now!"

Batman correctly deduced that the money was hidden in a tank at a local Gotham National Guard parking lot. i.e., his tank was full... Many are called but few are chosen. ;)

All the pointless instructional/troubleshooting DVDs that come with random items, but that no one ever watches, yet can’t throw away?

Those go in the microwave. Light show!

Was the Forbidden Fruit the Apple computer that controlled the escape pod?

That's nonsense.  :miff:

We all know that dinosaurs and humans were on Earth at the same time.

I have seen The Flintstones, my friend.

Hanna-Barbara wouldn't produce something that isn't true.

Well, maybe the talking bear wasn't quite true.

But, we do know that bears wore a green necktie and hat.

Did you ever read West of Eden, by Harry Harrison? It wasn’t my favorite of his works, but it was an interesting universe he created. Sentient dinosaurs using biological technology, rather than mechanical.

OH!  There's still time to get in another vote (or two):

https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/9680345/The+Tubes/What+Do+You+Want+from+Life

A heated kidney shaped pool,
A microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
A dyna-gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
A kingsize titanic unsinkable molly brown waterbed with polybendum,
A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
Real simulated indian jewelry,
A gucci shoetree,
A year's supply of antibiotics,
A personally autographed picture of randy mantooth
And bob dylan's new unlisted phone number,
A beautifully restored 3rd reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
A dream date in kneepads with paul williams,
A new matador,
A new mastadon,
A maverick,
A mustang,
A montego,
A merc montclair,
A mark iv,
A meteor,
A mercedes,
An mg,
Or a malibu,
A mort moriarty,
A maserati,
A mac truck,
A mazda,
A new monza,
Or a moped,
A winnebago--hell, a herd of winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
Or how about a mcculloch chainsaw,
A las vegas wedding,
A mexican divorce,
A solid gold kama sutra coffee pot,
Or a baby's arm holding an apple?

My wife is in the estate sale bidness. I help tote stuff sometimes. She had a client with several of this size and bigger tins. Turns out he collected them from every eatery/drinkery he patronized forever. This one didn't sell so I got it for a song (I chose the Captain America song from the Saturday cartoon)...

Did anyone guess correctly?  If so, what did they win?  Enquiring minds want to know!

Nobody guessed matches, which surprised me. So I donated it in Okie's name. ;)
