Well done Patty.
Although the Jazz Singer is acclaimed as the first feature length "Talkie", it wasn't the first to use a soundtrack, several were premiered in Paris in 1900, it also only had limited sound sequences and was still mainly silent.

"Lights of New York" is a 1928 American crime drama, is the first all-talking full-length feature film. It was released by Warner Bros., who had introduced the first feature-length film with synchronized sound, "Don Juan", in 1926; and the first with spoken dialogue, The Jazz Singer, in 1927.

Exciting, don't win on here very often...thanks for the fun...

If you see a single magpie you're supposed to say "Hello Mr Magpie" to avoid bad luck.

If you swallow apple pips you will get worms!

Where I'm from, if you step on a crack a bear will eat you at the next street corner.

Twin beds are correct!

Censors wouldn't allow married couples to sleep in the same bed as they feared it would scandalize viewers. However, some of the first to sleep in the same bed were:

The Munsters
Fred and Wilma Flintstone

One of the first sitcoms to allow married couples in the same bed was The Brady Bunch! (however, let it be noted, a toilet was never shown in the bathroom.)

OK, guys, we need some more entries before voting starts. Help me keep the Pony Up going and tokens allowed for the boards by determination of the interest in them.

I have had several designs appear on t-shirts. My fave was the year 2012 expressed in Aztec runes. It was quite colorful.
I bought a grab bag of already printed t-shirts and found this gem -

"Never Trust an Atom. They Make Up Everything."

Never Give Up!

What are you the most grateful for with being part of this GoldToken family?

I don't see your gecko but I've found a Mickey Mouse hat.

LOL...no one seen a gecko but me too.,...

Not sure but I THINK left brained. The article wasn't really informative. Left brain means logical and analytical thinking so that lets me out even though I saw a cat! But NO ONE saw a moose!

I see a CAT Is that left brained, or right brained???

I see the feline, mini cat and a canine with short floppy ears but no moose.

If you press down on the CTRL key while scrolling down on your mouse, you can see the image much better. Zoom in.

You are supposed to see a cat or a moose, depending on if you're left or right brained.

"Sharing the bizarre picture on Twitter, one man wrote: “Depending on how your brain works, (left or right brain) you'll either see a cat or a moose in this pattern."

“Whatever animal you see isn’t part of the image, it’s just an optical illusion created by your own brain."

Well, my brain couldn't create a moose for the life of me!! I did see a cat. I could also see where an eagle, owl or fox might be seen as posted by some. Look closer by zooming in and you might see a picture of a cartoon like cat head in the middle of the cat's forehead. Or if it just me?

Fox

Tiger

An owl..

A cat, the features aren't quite right for a big cat like a lion.
The human brain has developed to see such things as theeat avoidance. To then look in more detail to assess whether you are going to get eaten or not. In this case that threat seems unlikely

A feline for me too.

My mind makes it into all kinds of things, a gecko, a bird, a cat..but that was only after staring at it off and on for 20 minutes...lol....could also be just a design

A cat.

it's a LION

The face of a CAT

African Crowned Eagle

A feline.

I can only see a glimpse of it for a second, and it looks like it could be a cat.

A lion or a cat

No tokens to win, just some fun.

Supposedly, depending if you're left or right brained, you will see a certain animal in this picture.

Let me know what animal you see in the above pic by replying to this and all consecutive posts.

Baby, don't go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I never had a mother
I hardly knew my dad
I've been in town for 18 years
And you're the only boy I've had
I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby, please don't go
I never had no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay
I'm gonna be a lady some day
Baby, don't go
Pretty baby, please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby, please don't go
When I get to the city
My tears will all be dried
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' away
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby, don't go
Maybe I'll be back someday
Baby, don't go
Maybe I'll be back someday
