I had no idea there was so much blue candy in the world before I got to this penultimate spread in the booklet. (The last one shows a lackluster pink birthday cake, duly enrobed by at least six bags or cans of the titular product. Not worth it.) (Originally posted to flickr on February 12th, 2011.)

"...Whether she's a glad witch or a mad witch is up to you!" Either way, she's not half as scary as that unholy goldendoodle-turkey fusion down below. (Originally posted to flickr on February 12th, 2011.)

"...Your lumber dealer will be glad to recommend skilled carpenters who can apply Gold Bond Insulation Board products quickly and with truly professional results. This material is easy to put up, however, and any homeowner who is handy with tools can do a job he will be proud of..." Plus, remember that box of Marx treatises left over from your college days? Wouldn't want some pesky workman to stumble upon those, would you? One quarter of a fold-out published by the National Gypsum Company of Buffalo, New York.
