He certainly seems to enjoy it.
When quiet time is a silent prayer for it all to end.

Attack Of The Plastic Floral Hat
A vintage plastic hat — yes, entirely plastic! Even the inside — it’s like a weave of plastic! (The very sight of it made my head itch!) White plastic lily of the valley bells topped by green leaves, it even matches its nifty hatbox! Spotted at The Olde Store in Hales Corners, Wisconsin.
Dames & Dogs #84
I know the seller kinda ruined the image going crazy with watermarks, but it’s Sophie Gimbel! Sophie Gimbel and a dog! *squeal* Via
Grandma Susie’s Skunk
A very cute vintage made in Japan skunk figurine that I did not buy. I considered adding it to my skunk collection; but what if Grandma Susie or one of her grandkids came looking for it? So I left the skunk on the shelf at Exit 55 Antiques.
Ha, Ha, Women Grow Old
Normally I post this sort of sexist stuff over at Kitsch Slapped. But I felt general kitsch lovers might like this too.
Postcard No E, copyright 1956 by Petley Studios Inc., Pheonix Arizona. Petley Studios was started by Bob (Robert Teeple) Petley in 1946. The studio began with twelve black and white humorous postcards — but would later become the nations largest publisher and distributor of scenic color postcards. In 1984, Petley was sold to Bruce Finchum.
This vintage gag postcard was spotted at Antiques On Broadway, Fargo.
This Quacks Me Up

Hey, Jesus, Take The Wheel
Meet The Parchis
This funky album cover was my first introduction to the Parchis. According to Wikipedia, “the group’s name is a reference to the board game, Parcheesi (translated as ParchÃs in Spanish), where each player represents a different colored pawn (red, yellow, blue, and green). In the same way, each member of the group dressed in one of these four colors with the fifth member representing the dice.” The vinyl was too badly scratched for me to buy it. Maybe next time.
