Miss Cellania's Links

Super Pixel Quest! Just keep clicking the rightward arrow. (via Everlasting Blort)

Goodyear’s Illuminated Tires. Neothane tires were pretty, but they were never safe.

When congressman Devin Nunes’s father and brother sued a reporter for implying that the family dairy hired undocumented workers, they should probably have anticipated that they’d have to prove that their employees were all legal. Oops. (via Fark)

14 TV Characters We Never Actually Saw. Strangely absent: Carlton the doorman. 

Gowns, balls and underlying racism. Historical costumers of color navigate a hobby centered on a history that excludes them. (via Metafilter)

French Polynesia’s Teti’aroa Has Been an A-Lister Retreat for Centuries. 

Lucky Ducky gets even lazier and greedier! The latest from Tom the Dancing Bug.

The Strange 1945 Bobbi-Kar. The reason they went out of business will be a surprise. (via Everlasting Blort)

A blast from the past (2015): 9 Parrots You Should Meet.

  2. Malwarebytes won't let me go to the Gowns, balls, and racism link with claims of phishing among other activity.

  3. We did see Carlton the doorman, sort of, in an animated, unsold spinoff pilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEdioxUKtCo

    What I don't get is Angela Valentine from Leave It To Beaver. I watched the complete series on DVD a few years ago and don't remember that name or the alleged antics.

  4. The only offscreen characters I recognized were Vera Peterson, Lars Lindstrom, Mrs Columbo and Maris Crane! Yes, Carlton the Doorman was a definite oversight.

    That's so 1940s Germany !
