Marylin was quite a woman. Sexy as hell and she actually had curves! Too bad that seems to be a bad thing today.
This is going to sound weird, but oh well – that Expo 67 picture depresses me. Not the picture of it, but the picture on the tin. I don’t know why, but there is something about vintage photos like that that make me kind of sad.
I’d love to know why. Even when I was a kid I’d see photos from the 60s and 70s and they made me feel kind of sad even then! Any psychologists on the site?
I think it’s usually vintage summer photos that do the trick. It’s like they’re so wonderfully cheery that they’re actually quite depressing. Odd. One of my many weird quirks.
Ah, I need hockey. Soon.

Darth, it’s very strange and I’m going to find you a shrink. Why don’t we ask Dr. Recchi! Oh wait, he’s a medical doctor, not a head doctor. It is very unusual that old photos make you feel that way. Myself, I find photos of Scott Gomez and Brad Marchand make me feel that way.
