You Know, There We Were, Hanging Out with Wallabies

These li'l muppets are Tinkerbell and Lotho.  The wallaby's name is unknown but we're sure you know how much wallabies like to photo bomb you.  There you are getting ready to take the cute family pic and ... presto ... there's a wallaby.

It's not clear where this would have been as, amazingly enough, wallabies and kangaroos did not roam the streets of Sydney.

There was a park with them wandering around along with emus and koalas in the trees so maybe that's the location.  You know it's Australia because the wallaby hops into it and Tinkerbell isn't even fazed.  Yeah, well, it's a wallaby, man.  Let's get on with the picture.


If I'm right about the park, this is the same one where I was given a bag of potato crisps.

Note:  here they're chips and there they are crisps (shrug).

Nothing like a bag of potato crisps to make a kid happy so I wandered off as I munched them.  Then this huge head comes down out of the sky and ... CHOMP ... my potato crisps were gone.

It was a fookin' emu!  Do you have any idea how big an emu looks to a kid when it's standing right next to you and wants your potato crisps.  Well, buddy, that is one premium-size bird.

With professional help I may be able to work through my emu PTSD but only with time and patience can that happen.

(Ed:  are you mocking PTSD?)

Hell, no.  I'm a walking PTSD catalog!  (larfs)

You wanna hear about my best motorcycle crash?

(Ed:  NO!)


That's Tinkerbell again on the left, then Queen Bee in front, and Doc in the back.  This probably isn't even 1960 yet.

Yah, yah, there's a flaw in the image.  Sometimes stuff like this happened with traditional film.  It was still better than digital.  Ha!

There's some mystery curly hair on the right edge and that couldn't have been Barbie since she would not have been more than a year or two old.  Lotho never had hair like that even in the freak days in the sixties and seventies.  Maybe it's a ghost image from the People of the Future because Barbie's hair did look like that much later.

The ghost has piqued the OCD for who the hell is that??  My mother's hair wasn't that blonde even when she was a wee one.

Nope, need another Sherlock for that puzzle.  No idea.
