 Oh, the wonders you will see. 
It's that time again—we're availing ourselves of the local ultramodern train system and speeding away from home. We haven't actually decided where we're going yet, but wherever that is, we'll be back by Monday, barring natural disasters, sabotage, or hospitalization. And if we find something so amazing in our travels that we simply cannot contain ourselves, we'll post it. See you soon.
 We got some serious Spaining to do. 
Yes, it’s that time again—we’re going to take some days off and go traveling. As always, part of the agenda will be finding more material to post, but there will also be some earthly pleasures mixed in. At least we hope so. Not sure when we’ll be back, but wherever we are we’ll start posting again regardless on Monday. If we don’t, call the authorities. Oh, and pop by and water the ficus. Thanks.
 
We’re off to run a few important errands, visit some old friends, and look for yet more pulp. This time it’s Madrid and, with any luck, we'll get tossed from another nightclub. Anyway, we’ll be back in a few days. Meanwhile, these posts located here, here, here, here, and here, are pretty cool, and they’re old, which means you probably haven’t seen them. So enjoy.
 Off to the City of Light and the City of, uh, well, actually both cities are quite well lit. 
We’re off once again to unearth new pulp treasures. And enjoy some drink, food, sightseeing and nightlife. Whereas the last two times we went traveling the website stood idle in our absence, this time, we’ll continue posting. Assuming we can fit it in between the allnighters and deadly hangovers. Wish us luck.
 
Alrightee, folks, we’re taking a few days off to go pulp hunting. El Monkey Blanco will be scouring the alleyways of Southeast Asia, and Chile Negro will be pounding the pavement in Western Europe. In the meantime, help a brother out and spread our url around. We’re new to this website thing and don’t have it down to an art just yet, but we think we have something unique here and we’d like to share it with as many people as possible. The treasure hunting, writing, and web research are all good fun, but we’re attention whores. So pimp us. Back Tuesday.
 
Intermission card, because we're taking a few days off. We're lazy, so you'll be seeing a lot of these.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1921—Chanel No. 5 Debuts
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel, the pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired styles, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion, introduces the perfume Chanel No. 5, which to this day remains one of the world's most legendary and best selling fragrances. 1961—First American Reaches Space
Three weeks after Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly into space, U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard completes a sub-orbit of fifteen minutes, returns to Earth, and is rescued from his Mercury 3 capsule in the Atlantic Ocean. Shepard made several more trips into space, even commanding a mission at age 47, and was eventually awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. 1953—Hemingway Wins Pulitzer
American author Ernest Hemingway, who had already written such literary classics as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, is awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his novella The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. 1970—Mass Shooting at Kent State
In the U.S., Ohio National Guard troops, who had been sent to Kent State University after disturbances in the city of Kent the weekend before, open fire on a group of unarmed students, killing four and wounding nine. Some of the students had been protesting the United States' invasion of Cambodia, but others had been walking nearby or observing from a distance. The incident triggered a mass protest of four million college students nationwide, and eight of the guardsmen were indicted by a grand jury, but charges against all of them were eventually dismissed. 2003—Suzy Parker Dies
American model and actress Suzy Parker, who appeared the films Funny Face and Kiss Them for Me, was the first model to earn more than $100,000 a year, and who was a favorite target of the mid-century tabloids, dies at home in Montecito, California, surrounded by family friends, after electing to discontinue dialysis treatments.
