Cheesy Throwbacks

I begin this post by admitting the real reason I refrained from making a Wayback Wednesday Post yesterday was that I was pretty sure I would want to make a Throwback Thursday Post today.

As I lounge on my couch pecking in one letter at a time with the stylus on my Tablet, I am continuing my viewing of 50 Horror Classics with a bit of foolishness called Blood Lust.  It did not look familiar when I put it in, but I quickly recognized it.  I wrote a blog post about it once.

I’m still a little freaked by the presence of Mike Brady.

I miss writing posts about cheesy horror movies.  They are fun to write.  I like to have fun writing.

Cheesy reading material.

Searching for something else to throw back to, I found this pulp fiction cover (actual pulp fiction, not the movie of that name, which I never saw, by the way).  I once had a bunch of post cards of pulp fiction covers, but I eventually mailed them all to people.  I wish I knew where to get more.

Waaaait a minute!  As I proofread this post, I see that this is, in fact, a movie, not a book!  How careless of me!  I am quite mortified.  I must seek some pulp paperback covers for future blog posts (I am much too tired to do it now).

One of my favorite shirts.

I was just wearing this shirt yesterday, to my Dad’s birthday party.  I got it some time ago at Original Herkimer Cheese in Ilion, NY.  I need to get back there soon for some chutter: tastes like cheddar, spreads like butter.  Yum!

So I threw back to my own blog, my sent postcards, and a shirt I still have, plugging a local business along the way.  And I did it in over 300 words.  Happy Thursday, everyone!

 

Where’s My Head At?

OK, so I had three real Mohawk Valley posts this week.  You didn’t think that was going to continue, did you?  I didn’t.  Anyways, today I’m tired and hungry and haven’t gotten all my stuff done yet (not whining, just giving you the picture).  I just went through a couple of pages on Facebook looking for fun pictures I could share.  The pictures may seem unrelated and my commentary disjointed, but, hey, it’s Non-Sequitur Thursday.  Just go with it!

I went first to a page I recently Liked (actually, more than Like, I LOVE) B-Movie Mania.   While scrolling down, seeing all kinds of cool stuff, I noticed the poster to one a great cheesy movie I saw years before I ever wrote about them or even blogged about anything, The Thing with Two Heads.

I always thought it should be called The Guy with Two Heads.

If I ever come across that movie in cable or find it on DVD, I’ll write a blog post about it.  It’s fun!

In my search for more fun pictures, I discovered a new (to me) Facebook page called the  Trash Cinema Collective.  Ooh, do they have a lot of fun stuff!  Where to begin?

It’s one of those movie posters that looks like it could be the cover to a pulp fiction paperback from the ’50’s.

Ah, if only I had see this movie when I was young and straitlaced.  I might have gotten some tips on how to be more popular with the boys.

Another instruction manual from which I may have benefited.

I finish with an actual pulp fiction paperback cover.  I once had a catalog of a company that sold post cards of these covers.  I sent away for some and eventually sent them all to folks who appreciated them. How I wish I still had the catalog and could order more!  Hey, I wonder if they are online?  Is everybody online?  Once again, I show my internet ignorance.

On the brighter side, I see that I am over 300 words.  I call that respectable for a Non-Sequitur Thursday.
