Geelong Advertiser Newspaper Archives
So, I was scouring the web the other day, trying to find some juicy gossip to fuel my insatiable thirst for entertainment. And what did I stumble upon? None other than the Geelong Advertiser! You may be thinking, "what's so exciting about some old newspaper?". Well, my friend, let me tell you - this was no ordinary newspaper. I found a treasure trove of hilarious headlines and articles that had me laughing out loud. And being the generous soul that I am, I'm going to share some of the highlights with you.
"Ladies, take note: Don't wear your pigeon on your hat!"
Yes, you read that correctly. The Geelong Advertiser had some interesting fashion advice for women in the late 1800s. According to an article from December 4, 1888, it was all the rage to wear a live pigeon on your hat as a fashion accessory. However, the writer cautions against such a daring fashion statement, as apparently the birds would often fly off and cause chaos. "The bird flies away, probably to pay court to a female pigeon, and the unfortunate wearer of the hat is left with a skewered scrap of feathers". I mean, who knew that pigeons could be so flighty? (Pun intended)
If you're feeling adventurous and want to give this trend a try, just make sure you don't wear your favourite bird on a breezy day.
"Is this the future of transportation?"
It's always fun to look back at how people from the past imagined the future. And according to an article from November 23, 1925, the future of transportation was looking pretty weird. The article describes a new invention called the "helicopter plane" - a hybrid machine that can fly like a plane, but also hover like a helicopter. The writer waxes poetic about the possibilities of this new mode of transportation, stating that "It will make possible trips to places hitherto inaccessible to the ordinary automobile or railway". Unfortunately, this vision of the future never quite came to fruition (at least, not in the way they imagined). But it's still amusing to see how people's imaginations can run wild.
"Wine tasting for cats? Meow-bulous!"
Now, we all know that cats are fickle creatures. So it's no surprise that they have discerning tastes when it comes to food and drink. But did you know that there used to be a cat-specific wine made just for our feline friends? That's right, according to an article by Hickinbotham Group published on Issuu, a winery in Australia once made a wine called "Nyan Nyan Nouveau" - a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Japanese word for "meow". The wine was made from catnip and a variety of other herbs, and apparently had a "slight fishy aroma" that was sure to appeal to even the pickiest of felines. Okay, but can we talk about how adorable it is to envision a bunch of cats sitting around a table, sipping on tiny glasses of wine? I mean, I would pay good money to see that.
"Get your morning coffee fix...from an inhaler?"
Last but not least, we have an article that is sure to blow your mind - or at least your sinuses. According to a recent app released by the Geelong Advertiser, there's a new way to consume your daily caffeine fix - through an inhaler. That's right, forget about coffee shops and baristas - now you can get your caffeine in the form of a nasal spray. The app claims that this method of delivery is more efficient and faster-acting than traditional coffee drinking. And hey, if you're feeling really adventurous, you can even try out some of their other inhalable flavours - including chocolate, strawberry, and even bacon. Because nothing says "good morning" like inhaling the sweet, sweet aroma of bacon.
Well, there you have it - a small taste of the weird, wacky, and wonderful world of the Geelong Advertiser. Who knew that a simple newspaper could bring so much joy and laughter? And who knows what other hilarious headlines are waiting to be discovered? I, for one, can't wait to see what other gems I can dig up. Until then, I'll be chuckling over the mental image of a cat sipping on a glass of wine.
