Most of the arty drawings of hardworking meat men were too faint to be scanned well, but at least we have this guy.

My favorite NYC performance artists used to use these as portable marimbas, back in the 1980s. :P

"Quality Beef s bright red in color and the flesh is firm, fine grained and well marbled." It's an awkward first date when the ruler's are already out before the dinner's even cooked. 0_o

Actually the 12th printing from 1972. Spiral bound, on thickly coated heavy paper. Probably easy to wipe clean as needed during your first semester of Meat Cutter 101. "Prepared by The National Association of Meat Purveyors... Chicago, Illinois..." One of my first vintage finds, way back in the Nineties. I have 83 pages, but I suspect it was originally even longer and some other collage maker raided it first. :D

Oh, that reminds me: we need to watch *A Day At The Races* again since the Kentucky Derby just happened. :D

A week later, he came home from Poker Night at Bob's house to find this note: "Sylvia from The Garden Club doesn't smell as 'distinguished' as you. We're going away together. Don't try to find us." From the April issue of Western Family .

Sort of a NO-jam session, you might say. (Sorry.) From Quick Complete Meals For Summer .

Young Betty had big dreams in Tinsel Town. But her roles were all supporting. A server at a Wienerschnitzel forerunner, then at her brother Frederick's first shop, then assisting milliners and hairdressers. Ultimately, it was handsome dentist Dr. Magnin who discovered her. Off to New Haven and the life of a suburban matron. Good thing she kept her figure all those years!!

I hate getting up when it's still dark out, and being half-asleep and using the powdered creamer as foot powder by mistake. (Or vice versa.) :o From the May issue of Better Homes and Gardens .

I can't tell if Green Car Man is holding a road map or wearing a really odd scarf. From the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

That poor little dog has no idea they're about to be packed off the vet's office. From the February issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

I too always choose a giant floor covering print to give the furniture that adorable dollhouse effect. Very appropriate for mourning. o_0 From the October 27th issue of Time magazine.

Yes, baby lima beans do taste better than the regular kind. But also let's hear it for the least trustworthy serving dish of that century, or any other probably. o_0 From the September issue of Everywoman's magazine.

Submitted without further comment. :( <-- (except this) From the August issue of Better Homes And Gardens .

After a long day of moving caviar and imported cheeses on the black market, nothing tastes better! From the May 1st issue of Life magazine.

This was actually a find at a book collectors' show a couple of years ago, and yes I do procrastinate a lot. :o

It's the mention of Earl Carroll on the flip side which hints at the correct printing date. See here. As for me, I bought two pots of perennial poppies and I might even plant them if it ever stops raining. :D

I keep patching those holes in the garage roof, and still the squirrels get in at night and do this!! >: From the October issue of Flying magazine.
