John Wayne 8×10 from True Grit
John Wayne in True Grit.
Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be?
Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.
Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!
I prefer the John Wayne True Grit over the Coen brothers’ version. I was bothered by all the marble-mouthed talking in the Coen’s. I liked it and many parts were actually better, but overall, John Wayne’s just has that something extra. I find it interesting that I’m calling them “John Wayne’s” and “Coen’s” not “Hathaway’s” and “Coen’s” or “Wayne’s” and “Bridges’.” Jeff Bridges is probably one of the best (if not THE best) actors working today, but it’s still the Coen’s movie.
The Go-Gos Picture
A poster of The Go-Gos that I tore out of a magazine a million years a go. Looks to be early 1980s.
Phillips 66 Wichita, KS Map 1969
Phillips 66 street map of Wichita Kansas, 1969. From Randy’s Service Station also delt with U-Haul. 3155 South Broadway, Wichita, KS. It includes a list of all “66″ stations in Wichita. This map is a little different than most 1969 Phillips maps which show a more close up view of a station and many are in color. The “66″ in Phillips 66 stands for Route 66 which goes right through Bartlesville, OK, the home of Mr. Phillips.

Back from the dead! At least, that’s how I feel after turning in a stack of paperwork. Got some great stuff planned for this next month, so be sure to follow along!
Here’s some photos I’ve found around that I thought I’d share. Don’t remember where I found most of them, if it was your blog leave a comment and I’ll add you to the post.
I love pop bottles (that’s soda pop bottles for you Easterners) and soda pop advertising, and I love Zorro! How great to find the two together.
Planet of the Apes in a 70s stripped robe. How cool is that?
I love these sew-on/iron-on patch advertisements that used to be in all the comic books.
Dick Clark’s Easygoing Guide to Grooming comes from Awful Library Books.
What young boy of the 70s didn’t love Evel Knievel?
What a perfect picture of Keith Richards. I think I got this at Exquisitely Bored in Nacogdoches.
Don’t remember where I got this Marvel Poster, but it’s pretty cool.
Guys with guns. Robert Culp from Greatest American Hero and Bogart.
I think these Elvis Presley pictures came from Retrospace Zeta.
And finally, this is about as political as I get on this blog. Vote for Batman!
