Bonjour, Wednesday! Bonjour, WTF!
Before there was youtube, people learned how to make things by reading books like the Family Creative Workshop 24 volume set. (1976)
Things such as Candy Wreaths:
And Pulley Cable Glides:
Nothing says "Country" like cufflinks and a director's chair in a wheat field.
Trim Twist was a 1968 exercise fad where CEO's were expected to stand on a 1 foot square lazy Susan and twist.
This one unfortunately warped and no longer twisted.
But if it still worked, a boss and his secretary could twist all day to this kind of music:
Hello clown on stilts holding a puppy in a matching hat.
This beautiful bride was 3 feet tall and nineteen dollars. Priciest thing in the store - you can get a new couch at goodwill for less than that.
Last but not least, a couple of Jesuses. Jesus's blond phase (1942).
And a charcoal drawing of windblown rockstar Jesus.
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Do you think there were any injuries with the Pulley Cable Glides? Probably not. That Henry Mancini could really put out the music but I'm with you....where does that image fit with Moon River?
I mean Henry Mancini grew up in Little Italy Cleveland. They had wheat fields and cufflinks?
Miss you guys...could have thrifted here had you stayed more than a minute.

@anonyDAD - they kids on the gliders do not look sturdy - i think they need to raise the cable a few feet. nothing like the space trolley. and i think they just put mancini in an overgrown field behind the studio. like "look! nature! very country!"
