Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 01, 2024

They’re his imaginary family, which says a lot about his real one.

Forty years ago my drummer and I thought this was a great idea.

Most of us buy frames to put our own pix in them, horsie…

You’ve been framed, Horace…

He found one of Wilford Brimley!

I kept one in my billfold for years

the frame game…

I knew somebody who did that. Seemed sad. But she wasn’t sad. Well it didn’t show anyway. Except for those framed pictures she’d bought at the five and dime.

My grandmother actually did that, and said “They looked nice” when asked why she didn’t replace the ‘store’ photos with ones of her own family. Point taken, Grandma.

If only me was hads a good portrait of me doggie. Me woulda frames it and keeps it. :’-(

So what’s the big deal?

Sadly, Woolworths’ does not sell picture frames with horses in them.

I’m wondering if all those people whose images were used to sell picture frames received enough compensation for their good looks!

They’re out in the world among us and strangers are thinking, “I’ve seen her before but can’t remember her name.”

Sophia Loren came with my wallet,… a lot better looking than my girlfriend at the time

Horace isn’t the first fellow I know of who’s done something like this—I’ve met people who likewise bought a picture frame at the store who also liked the included demo photo that was included with it and kept it, simply because they seemed like nice pictures. I myself even held onto a pretty landscape photo that had come with the frame (but not the frame, that was to be used for something else) that a family member had bought, because it seemed like a shame to waste it.

A lot of people who try to sell their photography at street fairs quickly learn that they are in the frame business.

Hughmons!
