̶A̶l̶v̶i̶n̶ Simon! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #alvinandthechipmunks #shiftythrifting
Blue Lizard sits on the had of a four foot tall sculpture of Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Based on his Hawaiian shirt, this was probably made to promote the "Chipwrecked" movie. Today, it's in a thrift store in Kansas City.

Blue Lizard has traveled with me for over a decade. He pretended he'd never had a butterscotch malt in both Utah and Iowa. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMemories #butterscotch #malt #utah #iowa #desmoines
Blue Lizard Jr. sees a refrigerator magnet showing Blue Lizard Sr. being fed a spoonful of butterscotch malt. The text on the magnet says "blessed 2016." Blue Lizard sits atop a butterscotch malt, hanging onto a spoon. A small cookie rings the straw in the malt cup. This was at Snookie's Malt Shop in Des Moines. Blue Lizard is being fed a large spoonful of butterscotch malt. The spoon and the malt cup sit on a red outdoor table. This photo was taken at Chow Hound in Green River, UT.
