We see @NARiverside @KCArchives posted #ArchivesWaitWhat so we give you this image of actress/model "Jinx" Falkenburg giving Vice President & Mrs Nixon joke gifts following Nixons' trip to South America (where they were attacked by mob in Venezuela). (May 1958; A10-024.68.6.10)

#ArchivesWaitWhat!! Boating on Lake Northrup? Yup. The 1938 flooding of the wild and wonderful #LosAngelesRiver was catastrophic and led to the eventual management of the river by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

#ArchivesWaitWhat Sacaton Home Extension Club women from the @GilaRiver Indian Community are collecting cacti for home improvement landscaping, including transplanting an ocotillo cactus ca.1945. All with beautiful smiles on their faces. Landscaping that gets right to the point!

A Prohibition agent named R.J. ‘Two Gun’ Hart was the scourge of moonshiners and bootleggers in Nebraska and beyond. Born in Italy and raised in Brooklyn, NY, his given name was James Vincenzo Capone and he was the oldest brother of Alphonse “Scarface” Capone. #ArchivesWaitWhat

A cigar maker in LA? #ArchivesWaitWhat! At its peak LA could boast 7 manufacturers of cigars. There was enough of a presence there to attract Cuban-born Rafael Bermudez and his wife, Maria, to open their own cigar factory in a storefront in Pasadena. #HispanicHeritageMonth

We’re always looking for good potluck recipes, but #ArchivesWaitWhat!? Brains? Glands? Bladders? Rear leg nodes? Urine? ew! Wildlife Service Specialist, Odon Corr wrote the perfect recipes for trapping and attracting coyotes. Which recipes will you try?

We love a cool summer beer just as much as the next “person.” Right, @Denver_Archives? But #ArchivesWaitWhat? This is just too #VisitCalifornia for us! Bears with craft brews kicking back in the great outdoors! Why not?

Slenderella? #ArchivesWaitWhat 100s of salons & 1000s of women turning to “passive exercise” to trim down. In 1955, a patent infringement battle between Slenderella & B.H. Stauffer HIIT us with testimony about how it was all done on a vibrating muscle relaxing machine.

This lesson learned made us say #ArchivesWaitWhat! No matter how much you want to go to Mexico with your pals, don’t hand the Immigration Inspector $10.00! Young Albert Quan was reminded of this universal fact in 1933 by Calexico Immigration Station Inspector Charles G. Killberg.

At 1730 #OTD, the Coast Guard guided the vessel “Fuddpucker” to port at Alamitos Bay, California. A Fuddpucker is the name of a Triggerfish. We found this log that made us say #ArchivesWaitWhat while reviewing log books digitized in accordance with the Blue Water Navy Act.

#ArchivesWaitWhat, is this #HollywoodHistory obscene? Postmaster Otto K. Olesen thought so, refusing to deliver over 153,000 copies of Frederick’s of Hollywood’s 1954 holiday catalog. That is, until the Post Office told him to stand down.

This letter between prohibition officials Frank Bell and John Udall made us say #ArchivesWaitWhat! Think they were making plans for Christmas drinks in Ray, AZ? Nope. Bell and his “boys” were going to “knock off a few joints before Christmas” just to temper the holiday cheer!

#ArchivesWaitWhat, this #ArchivesGIFGiving features the amazing #RayBolger in a scene from “Four Jacks and a Jill”. We stopped in our tracks when we came across the suit Bolger filed against RKO for repackaging his performance without his permission.

Here is #ArchivesBookLove for all of those fans of #truecrime out there! This criminal docket from the 1920s is full of flappers, gangsters, low-lifes, housewives and at least one violation of the Insect Infestation Act #ArchivesWaitWhat?

1944, the US Government took 430 ft. of floor space in LA’s CFI building #ArchivesWaitWhat? For @PareLorentz who filmed Air Force supply routes from a glass B-24. After 425,000 flying miles, they did their post-production in that 430 sq. ft.

1954, William Mills sued Pabst Brewing Company for “injuries sustained from drinking bad beer.” #ArchivesWaitWhat #ArchivesBrewsday. Sorry, beer snobs, but it was a matchbook left in the bottle that made him sick.

Write up for all: 1928 Judson D. Morrow is found guilty of “gross contempt of court”, but the #ArchivesWaitWhat is because Morrow was a juror in a bootlegging case! 30 days in the Yuma County Jail. Oh #ArizonaHistory of the #ProhibitionEra

#ArchivesWaitWhat? The prince of Thulia sued the US in 1954, following his conviction on check forgery. The Empire of Thulia and its 11 principalities were not subject to American law, he claimed. He was declared sane nonetheless. #LAHistory

Yuma, AZ, 1921. Henry Sartuche had 8 pints of whiskey in his pockets! Yes, and he was said to have been wearing a denim jumper with 19 pockets--each large enough to hold one pint. In the age of prohibition, he gets points for creativity, but still paid a fine. #ArchivesWaitWhat

"Would you please define 'unique'?" This is only one of several moments in the Martha Nelson v. Xavier Roberts Louisville civil case that make us say #ArchivesWaitWhat! You definitely don't see an argument over soft-sculpture baby doll toes very often!

Seconded! #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesWaitWhat catalog.archives.gov/id/205590147

In 1964, Marlin and Meredith Brewer were sued by Burger King over the use of the phrase "Whopper Burger", which Burger King eventually obtained exclusive rights to its use. #ArchivesBrewsday #ArchivesWaitWhat

1928, Harry Doe’s description made us say #ArchivesWaitWhat. Phoenix #prohibitionera agent Walter Patterson noted the suspect was a “rather snappy dresser.” Can’t beat that. Glad they filed it in the criminal case. BTW, Harry got away.

We found what we believe to be a Kurt Russell look-alike in our Alien Registration Affidavits. Tell us if you think Robert Kasper Koweske Blum resembles Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in “Tombstone.” #KurtRussell #Tombstone #ArchivesWaitWhat

Among the "artichells" found at the Sand Island Light Station in Alabama (just off of the shores at Fort Morgan) in 1838 were two out-of-order lamps and a broken globe, to the presumed annoyance of incoming lighthouse keeper John McCloud! #ArchivesWaitWhat #CustomsService

This clerk notation is a real #ArchivesWaitWhat! In US v. Sloan, the jury needed time to deliberate & the clerk recorded:“jury retired to deliberate & goes to dinner at govt expense.” Good dinner? They found him not guilty of mailing obscene matter the next day. #LAHistory
