Friday Ephemera (839)

The new guy looks pretty chill. || Ostrich stomach contents, 1930. (h/t, Things) || In search of peanut butter. || It was that heavy beer. || “Like a belt full of pre-filled condoms.” || How to throw a house party, 1966. || I expect you to start body popping on the count of three. || Interactive duckpond, into which you can throw peas. Headphones recommended. || Full thrust. || Fun times. || Riker time. || Regarding travel, enrichment and states of denial. || “Fluid beef,” dispensed from a lamp post, 1897. || Learning curve. || Learning curve 2. || Place your bets. || Cutting hair. || Cartwheeling snakes. || It was the custom in those days. (h/t, Dicentra) || More enrichment underway. || How well do immigrants do? A handy database. || Dr Fukushi Masaichi collected human skin. || It’s modernity, baby.
