Two From September 1966

I try to see something unique and fun in every photo that I post here on GDB, but my gob, it can get tricky when it comes to yet another photo of the Mark Twain. I think I'll concentrate on the out-of-focus family in the foreground, with the petrified tree stump to the right. Walt gave the stump to Lillian as an anniversary present; I guess she should consider herself lucky that he didn't give her fossilized dinosaur poo.


Skull Rock! Skull Rock! After I have built my exact replica of the House of the Future (to live in), I will build my second home to look just like skull rock. It will have to be scaled up, King Kong-style. The eyes will be the windows from the master bedroom, and there will be a Slurpee machine on every floor.

The Skull Rock house sounds awesome -- just make sure to keep the water features intact!

Your talk of building a second home like Skull Rock reminds me of Lt. Robin Cruse, U.S.N. where Dick Van Dyke was inside the giant Tiki God Kabuna.

The skull house sounds cool to me. Then you can stare out your front window (or eyehole, toof hole or neck gap)and gaze upon the backside of water whenever you want. Good times.

Skulls are always in good taste-! I say go for it.

Love Mom's sailor blouse. Goes with the boat.

Rich T., the water features will definitely be there, along with the Slurpee machines!

K. Martinez, I saw that movie as a kid, and barely remember it - but my older brother says it is one of the worst movies he ever saw!

Alonzo, on Halloween I will have an inflatable Kong climbing the outside of the house!

Nanook, there is just something about skulls, it is true…

Melissa, I would like to thank mom for her heroic service to our country!

Hey, what is the attraction behind Skull Rock that everyone is standing near in the photo? Is that spillover from the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship?

K. Martinez said...

Major - Yes, the movie was pretty bad in some parts, but the idea and look of it was pretty cool.

Bryce - That's the dining area for the Pirate Ship Restaurant.

Bryce, see K. Martinez's comment below!

K. Martinez, I mostly remember Nancy Kwan... even when I was six or seven I thought she was really pretty!
