Oh the things you'll see!

When the Mega Millions lotto gets up around $100 million I make the drive over to Bristol, VA and pick up some tickets. Today after buying a couple of tickets for the next three draws I went into one of the many antique stores in downtown Bristol. I didn't buy anything but since the place was so big I did snap a few pictures of some of the stuff that caught my eye.

When regular bacon isn't enough for you, get yourself some candy bacon! It looks almost life like and it's got a keen "BACON VIEWING WINDOW" just to give it that more realistic look. You can bet Uncle Oinkster is happy that he's not in that package.
I found a treasure trove of these old style scientific sex mags from the '70's. I almost bought this one but I decided against it because it was mostly articles. I'm sorry to say I did not check this to see if the middle article was for or against blackmailing the homosexual. And I didn't see what the answer to the timeless question "Should You Marry Your Cousin?" was. I figured since I have never married any of mine then I didn't need to know.

They had a few lurid gossip mags at the antique store as well. Oh how I loved the cover, it's got Commies doing lobotomies, Oral Roberts, and a gal in a bikini. The British bad girl they refer to on the cover is Joan Collins. This magazine was from the mid to late 1950's and judging by the pictures of her they used in the article she was at least 40 back then. She was on the last series of Footballers Wives on BBC, so you can imagine how old she is by now.


Despite the urge to snap all three of these magazines up I settled for just taking photos of the covers.
Side boob but no butt crack.
I don't think Ms. DeMos ever had a tan in her life.
But it wasn't all bacon, babes, and side boob, I did spot some Quaker propaganda.
I'm betting Blue Gal or Suzy planted it there to lure unsuspecting and impressionable kids to Quakerism. Those insidious Quaker vixens will stop at nothing in their attempt for world Quaker domination. Oh well, I suppose it could be worse, we all could fall prey to the unholy siren song of the Mennonites.

Voluptuary, now there's a good word you don't hear too often these days.

Plus, "Barrymore's Decadent Dynasty" was written way before Drew came along. Wouldn't she have blown the author's mind.

I will ponder that whole "cousin-y" thing as I slowly jew on some gummy bacon.

Can I get back to you on that?

Did anyone else notice that the bacon is STRAWBERRY flavored? Is anyone so tired of the real bacon flavor that they need to give it artifical flavoring? Yes, I understand that it's fake bacon, but I would think candy bacon would sell better if it tasted like real bacon.

I think I found another one of your monkey cousins:

You have the cutest family!

Missy-Be careful what you wish for!

Kirby-She would have probably blown the author as well.

Fran-Sure.

Merry-That freaked me out as well. Bacon flavor tastes better than strawberry any day of the week.


Becca-Why thank you my dear. We are a handsome family.

That's Suzy on the cover.

"Bacon Viewing Window"
-- adds major curb appeal to any home.

Oral Roberts?

...and: "Will the Atom Bomb Ruin Your Sex Life?" I can't think of anything that would be more harmful to your sex life, unless it's Oral Roberts.

These are great!

Monkey, I realize that you just have to have a budget when you see as much scannable vintage stuff as you must see, but really, I must protest. I can't believe you didn't pick up that Sexology mag ("Educational Facts for Everybody") so I could read that "blackmailing homosexuals" article! I mean, you say you love me, but then you have a chance to get some educational material that was practically written for me--material that might well change my life!--and you just pass it by.

Tsk tsk tsk. I just don't know what else to say.... I'm so disappointed.

But I will have some of that gummy strawberry-flavored bacon. It's like gummy bears, right? But not if it has gelatin in it; I'm a vegetarian, you know.

"Marry your cousins" jeepers. I don't even talk to my cousins.

Wait...so that is kind of like being married.

Suzy said...

Ed, he doesn't call us "Quaker Vixens" for nothing!

Yeah, and well, Mennonites have their cookbook and Quakers have their ... sheet music? WTF?

Fran said...

After a most satisfying snack of gummy bacon and lots of time to ponder, plus the fact that I am already married, I will not marry my first cousin.

That said, dguzman has a point here Dr. I am sure you will bring the clarity needed in order to answer her comment.

However, if you need some, I have a big supply of gummy bacon and it does help the thought process.

Just give me a shout out and I will get it to you stat.
