Gruesome!<br /><br />Bill in Denver, ha ha, I can hear that soundtrack (with the whistling) as I read your comment.<br /><br />K. Martinez, in a lot of photos of the Mickey portrait it is not in full flower, so it looks a bit weak. You're right, this one is very strong and defined. I guess somebody could figure out the date based on the "population", but I couldn't. Unless there is a database out there? Or it you are willing to compare lots of photos, I suppose. And I am LAZY!<br /><br />Chuck, if we adjust 10:17 for inflation, it would now be 1:34 PM.<br /><br />Alonzo, I still know a guy who wears one of those hats when he's out in the sun a lot. It's weird, because he is not a "country" kind of guy.<br /><br />Melissa, your comment makes me think of Tinker Bell going under water (though I know the photo shows dry land). One of those CGI "direct to video" sequels needs to do that. Also, poor Linda. Smoking jackets are cool. Ring a ding ding!<br /><br />MRaymond, didn't Axel Rose wear one sometimes?<br /><br />JG, I'm pretty sure I had some red pants in the 1970s. I loved them at the time. Remember how it seemed that almost every kid had striped pants in those days?<br /><br />Nanook, Pressler only loved plush. Remove an attraction, replace it with shelves full of plush. I honestly believe that we are STILL paying the price for his bad leadership in some ways.<br /><br />Melissa, does your fez smoke too?<br /><br />Nanook, you too can wear a fez! They can be had for not much money, unless you insist on a vintage Shriner's fez.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-21206226182899125822014-08-25T13:03:39.944-07:002014-08-25T13:03:39.944-07:00@ Melissa-

Oh what good times the kids could have had while sporting one of those babies-! Thankfully, I still have my (non-Disney) version.
