Atomic Tuesday: I'm On A (Cassa)-Role!

Welcome to Atomic Tuesday, where the vintage is good and the puns in my titles are bad. I've got to be in & out today (I know, I'm boring lately, I'll make it up to you at some point, unless I forget), as we're getting an ass-whopping of snow (I don't know what that means exactly), and I have loads of shipping to do and loads of junk food to stock up (I mean tofu and bean sprouts). So let's make this quick! (That's what he said.) (Sorry.) (Apparently it's "Have a Second Dialogue in Parenthesis Like That Crazy Cat Lady Down the Street Who Yells at Fire Hydrants Day.) (Again, sorry.)


Today's atomic-themed pick is this superbad Vintage 50's Atomic Starburst Hearts Pyrex Casserole Dish:






(Makes reading through the gibberish worth it, eh?! If you made it to this point, you should get a major award. Like coming over and shoveling snow for me. What a treat for you, no?)

Atomic Tuesday

Welcome to this week's Atomic Tuesday! We schmucks in the northeast have been under a grey skies and rain attack for the past 3 weeks. I kid you not: 3 straight weeks. The Winona-in-Beetlejuice, goth kid inside of me secretly loves it (not so secret now, is it, voices in my head?!), and my grumpy German DNA refuses to let me tan, but go from glow-in-the-dark white to peeled-skin red in about 3 minutes. I'm like a walking nuclear explosion waiting to happen as soon as I see the light of day. I'm a freaking Gremlin. So this 3 week hiatus of sun is a win-win. Only northeasterners aren't exactly the friendliest of people and in fact, I think this section ranks as the grumpiest in all of the USA. (Sorry, PA, NJ, NY, CT, VT, RI, MA, NH, and ME. But at least we win at something. Screw you, charming and lovely citizens of Wisconsin!) And since we're not the nicest lot to begin with, add some crap weather and lack of sunshine and we've lost all will to get motivated and you can only imagine all the sweet going on around here. (Except me. I'm always sweet, dammit. I'll shiv anyone who says otherwise.)

So I found it only fitting to bring coffee into today's atomic-themed mix, because lord knows nothing else is working at this point. Except maybe a Zoloft/Jack Daniels cocktail or 3. Please enjoy these atomic starburst-printed vintage 50's Pyrex coffee carafes, or I swear I will pull this car over, reach back there and give you damn kids what-for. (Looks like it's time for another upper cocktail!)
