Photo # 3. I thought the stork brought us!!!
Photo #2: “Back to school fashions” page from the 1620 Sears catalogue.
Photo #1: Before she blew out the turkey-shaped birthday candle, Susie wished for a new Retro 51 pen.
# 3. Susie: Grandma, how do they get all those drugs across the border?
Grandma: Well Susie, let me show you.
Susie: Ohhhhhh…
#1. Little did Karen know that Mr. Bojangles, the family dog, would never be seen again.
#2. Discovery’s new show, “Growing up Puritan,” surprisingly was never picked up for a second season.
#3. Susie’s reaction to where the stuffing goes paled in comparison to that which Mr. Turkey would soon give.
#2 “Don’t worry, Penny. If they make us eat all these vegetables, I have a double cheeseburger hidden under my hat.”
#1. Life’s to short for an ugly turkey
#2 We got an ugly pen
#3. You put a pen where?
Photo #1: Another happy Thanksgiving in Stepford, Connecticut!
#1 If only we could see the look on little Kathy’s face when she finds out it is really Tofurkey.
#2. If we hold very still, no one will notice these ridiculous hats.
#3 – “If you don’t give my Tornado back Timmy, you’re gonna end up like that turkey there…”
#1 “Wait until they find out it’s plastic.”
#2 Oh my gourd!
#3 Are you SURE that’s where babies come from, grandma?
#3: Um… when mom said to stuff the turkey, I don’t think she meant you should use Fluffy!
1) What a nice shiny lacquer. 2) I see a Tornado in the distance. 3) It’s just like putting an ink cartridge in a pen, isnt it?
Collectively, a Thanksgiving glimpse into the past of the future staff of Retro 51.
3) Oh granny, there’s no way I’m eating that!
Photo #2. Screw the Turkey where’s the presents?
Photo 3. Good godly, poor Turkey had to much stuffing up his butt. No wonder we had to cook him.
Photo #2: Wanted superhero costumes…….
Got “pilgrimwear”.
#1 I hope she likes her new feather pillow!
#1 Hurry and take the photo…this turkey is heavy and little Suzie didn’t brush her teeth this morning!
#2 Little Boy: I should have worn my Superman Shirt with this cape!
#2 Little Girl: I am so sophisticated…I have two bow ties on at the same time.
#3 I am thankful for Stove Top Stuffing!
#3 So that’s why they call it stuffing!
#3 I hope we’re not next!
#2 “Hey Honey Boo Boo, they’re trying to feed us veggies. I’ll find us a pic-a-nic basket. I’m smarter than the average Pilgrim!”
Photo #1: An exuberant father explains it this way to his young daughter… “Look Mary, Don’t you just love Retro 51’s new holiday-themed packaging!”
Photo #2: Watching mom dress that turkey with all those levers and pulleys… makes us really really scared…
A note for the Retro 51 folks, I completed my captions at 8:25pm to 8:35pm Arizona time on Sunday night the 1st, however, for some reason the blog posted a time of 3:29am and 3:34am respectively on the 2nd, not sure why?? I have a screen capture if that helps… Thanks for the contest.
