Streetcar Sundays – 169

It has been nearly a year since I made a Streetcar Sunday posy, and yet I still have over 70 Streetcar spanking pics that I haven’t posted yet. What I might do is go on a binge, post something like 10 a day for a week and the close the project. During my birthday posts last year I included three additional Men Are Like Streetcars spanking pics so I have posted over 170 of them already.

If you have been following this blog this past week you will see that I talked about a spanking pic that I found on Twitter. I dropped Miss Iceni a line and she gave me permission to use the image, so I will post that this coming Tuesday.

A Little Treasure Hunting

Something happened last week that got my mind to thinking, and it made me realize that I could make a little post on this topic. The subject in question is treasure hunting, and of course in our little world that means hunting for spanking pics.

Now I’m going to make a confession here. As you all know, my enjoyment comes from finding pics that you probably haven’t seen before, hence the term treasure hunting, but today I am going to break my usual role for a change and I am going to share with you an image from someone else’s work.

This first image appeared last week on that newspaper site that I have been telling you about. You know the one, the site where a guy is saving his spanking finds as clippings and they are being shared with the public for free, even though he is the one who is paying for them. Now I don’t want to mention his name because he might not want that, however should he also be a visitor to this site and he is okay with me sharing that then I will happily do so.

This was the image that he discovered last week from the play “Perchance to Dream”. The image is his find, however what I am sharing is my own copy that I retrieved from the British site.

So why did this trigger a thought? It’s quite simple really, I went to the British site to locate this image being that it is from Exeter, basically because I wanted to post my own edit to include the title. The ‘clipping’ doesn’t include it as the downloader edited it for his own purpose.

So on the British site I went, searching for “Perchance to dream spanking”. And what did I get in return? As we would say in England, sweet f a! Thankfully I knew the publication that the image was in so I was going to find it, so I removed spanking from the search and voila, after applying localized filters the image showed up. Here is the kicker though, I could see why the word ‘Spanking’ didn’t show up. The word was in the description, but do you know what it was listed as? Wait for it… “apanking” LOL.

THAT is a huge problem that many of us collectors have when searching for spanking pics, especially on newspaper sites, the words aren’t always shown correctly. So for example, if in the search engine it reads the text as “Kiss me Mate”, then I will not get those results for “Kiss me Kate. That’s why you always have to use an alternate set of search terms, such as “Petruchio” or Katherine and Fred, or even “Kiss spanking” to make sure that you can search multiple avenues.

This also tells me that there are many more spanking pics out there that have yet to be found. Not to mention the millions of papers yet to be uploaded online. I can tell you now, I would never have found this “Perchance to Dream” image had it not been shared by someone else, that’s just facts.

This happens in other searches as well, even though the keywords that you want are displayed on the image. Take this MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS pic for example.

This image shows up nowhere on the search engine, even though you can quite clearly see that it says Men are like Street Cars right on the image itself. I can run this search, narrow it down to the state and individual year and it will still not show up in the search engine.

It makes no logical sense whatsoever. How did I find the image? That’s simple, I was going through hundred’s of books page by page when I found this image, and I was shocked that it doesn’t show up in the search. So what I did is I added another word that is on the page and added it to a search for “men are like street cars”, and wouldn’t you know it shows up first on the search page and get this, the term “Men are like Street Cars” appears prominently in the description. I still have no idea why you can’t search for it without the extra word, because it recognizes the other words I am searching for.

The real fun part about going on a treasure hunt though is my favorite activity, going through books page by page, year by year. It can be a tiring, tedious process, but it can be oh so rewarding.

Mostly I find those really bad quality images when searching this way, but quite often I will find a gem like this one.

Imagine my surprise when I opened a book, likely about book number 120 that day by that point, lol, and the very first image in the book was this spanking pic. Yes, that’s how the yearbook began, with a spanking.

There is only one way that you will find this pic, it will not be found in any search engine unless you are extraordinarily lucky and you find it while looking for something else. This spanking image can only be found the old fashioned way, by searching for hours through individual books.

Actually, I guess there is a second way, you can let me do all of the hard work and then “Find” it on my blog, haha 🙂

So the bottom line is this, I’ve probably got enough material already to post something new to the spanking community every day for the next two years, and then take into account that quite often I find more new pics in a week than I actually post.

Treasure hunting is something that I love to do, with some music playing in the background as I go hunting for treasures the old fashioned way. It seems certain to me that I have only scratched the surface so far, mostly because I tend to focus on the 50s and early 60s, there are decades of material still to search through.

In December I would have been doing this for the community for 17 years, and my initial goal was perhaps to do it for 20 years and then call it quits. However, I don’t know if I will even end, maybe I can keep this going for 25 years, who knows. Other factors will of course play a part, age and health primarily, but also if the audience loses interest. However, I’m pretty sure that the last of my generation who are around the same age as me will still appreciate the memories as much as I do. The days before we had the Internet and we would have to use alternate means to get our fix.

Birthday Bonanza 20 – Men Are Like Streetcars

So we have arrived at the final day of the birthday spanking bonanza series, I feel like I am now closer to 61 than I am 60, lol. I hope that you enjoyed all of the offerings that I have given you over the last 20 days, and in some cases a lot of time and effort went into finding certain pics.

To finish the series I have a nice little treat for you. Today we will end the birthday spanking bonanza series with a selection of pics from the play, MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS.

The first image is one of the most exciting finds that I have made for Streetcars pics in a while. This was the one that I mentioned several weeks ago where I searched and searched tediously for hours trying to dig up extra pics. At the time the pics had dried up and the only hits that I was getting in the search engine was text hits. But then, all of a sudden, way deep in the archived search, this image popped up out of the blue. I mean it was so far down that many people would have given up long before I did, and in fact in the past I have similarly given up when the images stopped appearing.

So this is my personal reward for all of the hard work and effort that I put in, and isn’t it a corker. What a wonderful smile on the young lady’s face and I have to say that it is a pretty nice silhouette of her bottom, lol.

Image number two I have posted before, but this copy is much cleaner. It was found in the actual book rather than being archived by a third party site. And the third image was also another recent find on the newspaper site.

A grand total of 60 spanking pics, one for each year of my age. Stay tuned because the one for luck will be coming on Thursday 😉 On Friday there will be a new image along with a write up regarding picture hunting. The post is already made and is scheduled to post automatically.

Streetcar Sundays – 168

Without trying to sound smug or demeaning, there is a trait that I have which is not present elsewhere. Whenever I share a spanking pic I want you to see the whole thing, not just the section that I determine to be the best section. I post as I like to see, and I always want to see an entire image, especially if other people are present in that image.

Different strokes for different folks of course, but this is how I present my pictures to you.

This could be perhaps because I LOVE to see the faces of the people witnessing a spanking. In the image that I am sharing today there are a total of 14 witnesses to the spanking. From smiling faces to pensive looks, each face can tell a story. For some it could be the joviality of watching someone getting a spanking, yet for others the reality could hit a little closer to home. That’s for you to decide. Click on the image itself for the full sized version.

This will be added to my MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking folder.

Streetcar Sundays – 167

Time for yet another MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pic. This time we have a newspaper clipping, and I have also included 4 extra Men Are Like Streetcars spanking pics. Basically I have a ton of them that are piss poor in quality, but I know that someone, somewhere, will get their kicks out of these additional pics. They might look really poor to me, but they might trigger happy memories for someone else.

The additional pics that I have shared here have been sat in my Men Are Like Streetcars folder since 2013!! So this is something that you should get used to over the coming months, I am going to share a main pic but I also want to clear some of these ancient photos that have been sat on my external drive for like forever.

 

Streetcar Sundays – 166

Time for a MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pic, this is number 166 in the series. This is one of those pics that I found the old fashioned way, going through reams of books page after page. The actual copy that I have on file is huge, but I am posting a truncated version that will fit the blog.

Coincidentally, on the first full day of the new blog format, the count on mobile users took a woeful hit, but surprisingly viewers using tablets went way up. Perhaps the new format more accurately displays view origins? We will see whether it changes over the next week.

Streetcar Sundays – 165

Yesterday I took a break having posted for ten days in a row, but I am back with this week’s MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pic. In fact I have three of them today, the first one is a new one and the other two I have sat on for years, but they are so poor in quality that I can only use them as a throw in to a regular post like this.

Now what I like about the image this week is that it is really unique, that is because the play director is teaching them how to spank, haha, I kid you not. Now obviously the spankee is going to need to change direction and get up over that lap so that the bottom is prepared for a spanking. Do you think that perhaps the director is also indicating that the spanker should ditch the newspaper and use his hand instead? Look at all of those attentive faces in the background as well, perhaps they will be practicing later with their partners?

Obviously the latter part is literary license, but you guys can see for yourself, the one experienced in spanking is teaching what she knows 😉

And here are the extra two MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pics that are of much lower quality.

Streetcar Sundays – 164

This has been a very productive week for finding spanking pics from a whole variety of stage plays, virtually all of which are brand spanking new to me. In fact there are some that didn’t show up in a search engine, I literally found them by stumbling upon them. Take the first MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS image below, you could put any combination of words into the search bar and nothing will show up, you have to be looking for something else.

Most of the images are quite decent, however some of them required a lot of editing work to get them even remotely presentable. Like the second pic below, I am only adding that one because I would never put it up as a single post, but you have no idea just how much work that I had to do to get it to a point where you could make out human images, lol, the picture was so black initially.

So keep coming back this week, I have a plethora of new spanking pics which you quite likely have never seen before, and I am pretty sure that I will come up with another half dozen today.

Streetcar Sundays – 163

I’m back after a few weeks off for a spanking good break, and we are back with a MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS pic.

On the vanilla front I have just produced what I consider to be one of my best videos so far. In this video I follow the footsteps of the last night of the NYC Gangster, Monk Eastman. If anyone cares to support my vanilla work then you can do so at the following link. The video is eight and a half minutes long and I narrate the video with my sexy English accent 😉 Any support that I can get I would greatly appreciate as I am a struggling Youtuber and the video took me over eight hours to make.

If you wish to support my efforts you can do so by clicking on the link below which will take you to my vanilla blog.

THE MONK EASTMAN VIDEO

Right, here is the spanking image from 1952 which is of course from a newspaper clipping.

Streetcar Sundays – 162

This morning I popped out for a smoke at 5am and my upstairs neighbor exited the house with her two daughters. Obviously it was quite a surprise but she told me that they were all getting a flight to the mom’s country of birth for a three week holiday. That was wonderful news for me because I immediately thought that I could break out the old microphone and record some spanking stories.

It is very difficult to record in my house because I am on the ground floor, and as anyone who knows me will attest, I have this big booming voice. Compounding the problem is that the two daughters are as quiet as mice, so they could be stood outside of my door and I would be none the wiser. The last thing that I would ever want is for either of these older teenagers to hear me talking about spanking, so I try to avoid it at all costs. Half of my life is spent wearing headphones, lol. The Mother and her grown up son on the top floor present no challenges at all as they are rarely home and they aren’t exactly quiet when entering and leaving the house. But now I have a three week window where I can get some recording done.

The story that I think I will concentrate on first is “A Lodger’s Regret“. That would seem on face value to be the most appropriate spanking story to record.

Ideally I would love to do another spanking interview, but I have a problem there, since I left all forms of social media I have no contact with anyone in the spanking world at all. It would have been easy to put a blast out on Twitter that I was looking to interview someone, and anyone who was looking to promote their material could have sent me a DM. Unfortunately that option is not available anymore, so it is up to me to see if I can contact someone privately and set up an interview. Yet another of the pitfalls of being forced off of Twitter, but, we all have to work with what we are dealt with.

So I will use this blog to reach out, though the chances are somewhat remote. If anyone wants to conduct a spanking interview with me then I would love to have you. You can feel free to promote whatever you want, but it has to be done so within the next three weeks.

If you look at the popular posts tag on the righthand side of this blog you will see that the SPANKING VIDEO that I posted yesterday did very well. It is rare for a new post to top that list so clearly it was enjoyed by a lot of people. I was able to download it and I will eventually add it to a compilation video of my favorite spankings for my personal use.

So that brings us onto today, and once again I have something brand spanking new for you.

One of the newspaper archives uploaded a new newspaper in the last couple of weeks to its archive and fortunately for us all, one of those papers had a new MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pic included. So here it is in all its glory.
