The Birds (1963) – Poo fail
To mark the release of avian Hitchcock horror ‘The Birds’, giant feed trays were installed across New York to help mimic the frightening flocks of the film. Did it generate hype? More like a city full of pigeon poo. Nice.

Let's change topic, here a new snap:

Third from left winning a spaghetti-swooshing contest in which the spaghetti must be eaten with use of face, lips and tongue only. The competitors are all Minsky Carnival showgirls. South Virginia.

They not only have to eat being careful not to dunk their face in with the consequence of having a semblance of a bunch of clowns, but they also need to keep on smiling while they have been photographed. Anyway, they are doing good.

I suspect the woman on the far left has grasped the real reason they are asked to eat that way.

the use of low cut dress's is very sensible
can imagine a lot of bolognaise sauce flying around the neck area

Basque Country - Giza-abere probak (dragging games)


11 people dragging a 4-ton stone .
This sport translates as Human-animal tests and is a collective term for a number of sports in which humans and animals are involved in dragging heavy weights. There are four main categories:
• Giza probak (human tests) where people attempt to drag a heavy weight, usually a large rock, across a certain distance
• Zaldi probak (horse tests) - same as giza probak but with horses
• Idi probak (oxen tests) - same as giza probak but with oxen
• Asto probak (donkey tests) - same as giza probak but with donkeys
These normally take place on specially built trial grounds, although nowadays is played all over around. The aim is to cover a certain distance within a given time or to cover as many circuits as possible. The idi probak are by far the most popular in this category. The asto probak is second in row.
All chaps are regularly fed to keep them in good working order and keep on going on their full time job.
