ReplyDeleteHad a question.
Why is it that your wonderful image now is a reclining black monolith containing the words:

Asking for Bitty, AA, JM, Calvin Klein and Sony Bono.
Thank you.
I have no idea. It's showing up for me. A grinning Mickey Mantle in a hospital bed surrounded by pretty nurses before his 1956 tonsillectomy. Whatever the cause, I hope those words bring it.
ReplyDeleteStang, it's possible that AA is talking about some alternate reality, possibly based in the French Internet - remember when France tried to have their own internet? - or just referring to a world in which Mantle existed and the Yankees were truly great.
Delete"Pretty" nurses? Stang, those eyeglasses need updating. Maybe a couple of them, but I think Mick would not bird dog the rest.
DeleteAll excellent nurses, however, I'm sure.
The photo reappeared an hour or so after it disappeared.
