June is here at last -- a glorious sun-shiny day here in NYC -- and it's time to play!
Parenthetically, have you noticed that nobody is really named June anymore? (Nor April or May for that matter) Can you identify the famous June up top and explain why she's wearing an aluminum foil jumpsuit and holding an Ericofon?
But I digress! What better way to celebrate this glorious month than with another round of the internet's favorite pattern-naming game, MPB's exclusive NAME THAT PATTERN!
You all know the rules by now: I post photos of patterns I've found online, and you give them funny names. As always, we have an amazing assortment of prizes, including an empty can of Final Net reputed to have been snatched from Donald Trump's Palm Beach dumpster!
With no further delay, let's get started. Presenting PATTERN #1!
Stumped? Perhaps this will stimulate your imagination: PATTERN #2!
But wait -- there's more! Put your hands together for PATTERN #3!
And now, something for the boys, it's PATTERN #4!
Friends, we're nearly done. Here's PATTERN #5!
But wait -- as always, we have our BONUS PATTERN for you overacheivers. Welcome PATTERN #6!
Readers, thank you so much for participating in this very special June edition of NAME THAT PATTERN. Naturally, I'll be participating, along with Michael and, I'm hoping, even my Mom! As you know, you can name any or all of the above patterns, but only those providing names for all six patterns will be eligible for Donald Trump's discarded can of Final Net.
Ready, everybody? On you marks, get set, NAME THAT PATTERN!

Peter,
ReplyDeleteThe foil-clad lady is actress June Lockhart, who starred as Maureen Robinson, mother of the Robinson family in the futuristic TV series "Lost in Space" (1965-1968). She's dressed in her astronaut suit, because that's what space travelers in the 1997-set future would all wear (or so we were led to believe!).

From time to time I will say, "Danger, Will Robinson." And I get quizzical looks. But I recognized June Lockhart straightaway.
