EYE STOPPERS

HOT DOG cools off with special sunshade which is secured by reflective aluminum sheet harness. Pooch hails from London.

EYEBALL POPPER is actress Sandra Giles’ fur-coated ‘T-Bird. What happens when it rains?

GENTLE SQUEEZE begets milk as fresh as any udder from unique squirt apparatus. It is located in coffee bar in merry England.

STOGIE PARKER in Holland art gallery allows pure Havana lovers to store rope, pick it up after seeing exhibit.

1. I guess that Ms. Giles doesn’t have to drive on many dirt roads. Another shot of Sandra and her fuzzy Ford: http://www.sandragiles.com/GLAMOR/sg11.jpg

2. I am glad to know where the dog hailed from.
   Didn’t that milk dispenser appear in Clockwork Orange?

4. Stogie Parker – wasn’t he one of the pioneers of Jazz?

5. I believe that was Stogie Carmichael.

   (”Rope” is slang for “cigar”.)

   Imagine my disappointment when I clicked on your link and found her and that stupid car again.

9. #8 Yeah, what a gyp! Especially since the link was described as “Another shot of Sandra and her fuzzy Ford”. Quite some nerve! Next time try not to inhale so much when you puff.

10. Is London regularly so scorching hot that its dogs need special sunshades?

11. All Londoners carry brollies, don’t they?

12. What happens when it rains? The car rusts, of course! Waste of a nice T-Bird.

14. What happens when it rains?! What happens when she tries to stand up straight?

    Comment by Charlene — August 21, 2009 @ 8:49 am

15. When it rains, she has her English brollie-dog sit on the roof.

16. Emperor MAR: I’m guessing about “Havana lovers” – - -”store rope”. Back then folks would quip, “you smoking some kind of rope?” when some Havana cigars smelled like burning hemp rope. Some may even have contained some hemp; better known today as pot. Anyway, the term “rope” was used in derision for a cigar and “weed” for a cigarette (not necessarily meaning a “joint”). They must have extinguished and stored their “ropes” at the entrance in that device for later use on exit. Like kids storing smelly shoes before entering a fast-food play ground. They didn’t want you to burn the art work or someone’s wooden shoes!

17. William Deering: Oh, please! Havana cigars containing hemp? This is how guesses turn into urban legends. You over thought this one.
