Snoozles™
Before we get to today's Snoozles™, I'd like to wish GDB friend Ken Martinez a very Happy Birthday! I only just learned that February 22nd is his "big day", so I had to scramble to put something appropriate in today's post. Luckily I had this cute scan of a little boy on his fourth birthday (if I believe the number of candles on his cake), with his adoring mother looking on. The two of them have dishes of vanilla ice cream, I don't know why they aren't enjoying the ice cream with the cake. They're missing out! Notice that the icing on the cake says "Happy Birthday Kenny". A total coincidence, but kind of amazing! Kenny has a very nice toy train and a toy airplane on the table, pretty sweet.
I hope you have a great day, Ken!

It's Snoozle Time. Not as much fun as Howdy Doody Time, but then again, what is?? In July of 1972, a photographer attempted to capture an image of dancing headhunters from the Jungle Cruise, but they were a little too slow on the draw; you can barely see the costumed dancers through the lush vegetation. Of course you can't see them at all, nowadays. It's OK, I understand.
This next one is from a batch of faded slides; and even though it isn't faded anymore, it has other issues. That being said, it's sort of a pretty view, one that can't be replicated today.

Happy Birthday, Ken-! Cake and ice cream... no more need be said.
Major-
I like the dancing headhunters image - it's sorta the Jungle Cruise equivalent of Where's Waldo-?
Thanks, Major.
Happy Birthday, Kenny Nartubez -- one of our favorite Jr. Gorillas! I wish you a wonderful day filled with lots of cake and ice cream [and I do hope you're feeling better and can enjoy your special day]! Thank you for the trip to Hawaii, yesterday. I've only been to Hawaii once, and loved it. While there I kept thinking that it reminded me of the Tahitian Terrace, vintage Disneyland Hotel, and Polynesian Resort [in WDW] -- all rolled into one.
I'll stop back later for some cake and ice cream. Please save me some!
Thanks, Major.
Happy Birthday to J. Nartu... No.... I just can't do it.... again. Happy Birthday to Ken Martinez! I know you're not feeling too great right now. Hey! Make yerself a chicken noodle soup birthday cake! (I'm sure it would taste yummy.)
Little Kenny's cake looks to be home made(?). But Mom did a very good job decorating it. On second thought, maybe it was made in a bakery. It looks like there's a cardboard disk under the cake.
We used to have a train very much like Kenny's. It was battery powered, and when switched on, it would chug along the floor making choo-choo sounds and occasionally toot a whistle. When it bumped into something, it would stop, back-up a bit, change direction, and go merrily in its way.
By golly, there ARE headhunters in this photo! Took me a while to spot them. They're in the shadows, blending in with the trees and foliage. Headhunters aside, it's a nice pic of the Jungle Cruise jungle.
Oooh! I like the Castle picture! It's like a painting depicting a scene from the Lord Of The Rings books; Minas Tirith, maybe. The Castle is perfectly framed amongst the foliage.
Sue, I hope you like chicken noodle cake!
First pic, nice jungle. Second pic, nice castle. Thanks, Major.
I agree with Sue about Hawaii. We ate in our hotel's restaurant every night, and the decor was a cross between the Enchanted Tiki Room and the Tahitian Terrace. And they had shows with Hawaiian music and dancing every night. It was wonderful and very Adventureland-esque.
Maybe little Kenny's mom was going to cut the cake and put slices of it on top of the ice cream, but was first waiting to get a good photo while the candles were still lit? Or maybe the kid had a sensitivity to gluten, so Mom and Dad were going to wait until he went to bed, and then eat the whole cake themselves.....in one sitting. And without any utensils.
Happy Birthday, Ken! And thank you, Major, for the Sunday Snoozles!
