EAGER TO SCORE
Is this what football announcers mean when they talk about a perfect snap?


Because we're like teenagers it amuses us when we hear sports terms that sound sexual. We've indulged in this juvenile amusement on Pulp Intl. once or twice. Or maybe even three times. The best unintentionally sexual NFL commentary we heard this football season was: “Look, here's my thing—” Which was followed by silence. And we thought, well these broadcasters are certainly making the most of their time stuck together in that tiny booth.

Anyway, 1930s movie star Lona Andre, née Luana Anderson, shows some ball control skills in this promo photo we thought was fitting for today, which is of course Super Bowl Sunday. Andre made a number of notable films, including 1934's School for Girls and 1937's Slaves in Bondage. This photo was made for her film College Humor, which is fitting, because that's about the level of our sports quips. It dates from 1933.

FUNNY SIDE UP
So these two fraternity brothers walk into a bar...


Below are five more covers of College Humor magazine with art by Rolf Armstrong. During the 1920s and 1930s, Armstrong made his income illustrating sheet music covers and magazines, and later he became known as a portraitist, painting likenesses of Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, and Boris Karloff, among others. He also worked in advertising for RCA, and was a sought after calendar artist. We’ll have more from him soon, and you can see our previous post of five College Humor covers here

The Imperial Japanese Navy sends aircraft to attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet and its defending air forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

1933—Prohibition Ends in United States
Utah becomes the 36th U.S. state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution, thus establishing the required 75% of states needed to overturn the 18th Amendment which had made the sale of alcohol illegal. But the criminal gangs that had gained power during Prohibition are now firmly established, and maintain an influence that continues unabated for decades.
1945—Flight 19 Vanishes without a Trace
During an overwater navigation training flight from Fort Lauderdale, five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger torpedo-bombers lose radio contact with their base and vanish. The disappearance takes place in what is popularly known as the Bermuda Triangle.
