happy side



I had more luck at my local op-shop, where this record cover jumped off the shelf for fifty cents.

It would be too easy to run a caption contest on this one.
("You Can't Be True, Dear.") reportedly sold something like 3.5 million copies, but the funny thing is that the hit version was actual a dub of vocals by singer Jerry Wayne over a copy of the tune recorded by Griffin as an instrumental number for skating rinks.

Blatant.

The blonde looks like a dill.

She certainly looks more clueless than the brunette, whose body language is signalling a degree of doubt (or amber, anyway.)

I think you two are being somewhat disingenuous for Carry-On value. (Ooo, well I never!)

It's quite obvious to my discerning eye that the two boys are sharing a Montgolfier moment as they dream of the day they take their first hot-air balloon ride.

"From party balloons do zeppelins sprout."

I can't remember who said that, but I'm sure he, or possibly her, was quite wise. But only quite.

"Jerry, I told you they weren't balloons."

No strings attatched...

Close Encounters of the Fifth Dimension?

Anyway must fly, and buy up the op-shop's entire Ken Griffin Organ collection at 50c a Pop. It's lucky that FX doesn't know where it is. ha.

How many of these little babies would you need for air, Roy?

Don't know Ron. Depends on the ballast I spose.

Hey, hey, hey, we're happy today Roy, remember. None of this gloomy "catch the wind" routine.

Let this be a warning, kids: helium balloons can get you high.

Just shooting the breeze, Ron.

Shooting-up the breeze.
