Kent State was May 4, 1970.

Richard Nixon losing the presidency in 1960.

Richard Nixon winning the presidency in 1968.

Me playing with my "Mighty Mike" truck and thinking it was the greatest toy ever invented in 1965.

Petula Clark singing about where all the lights were bright...

I remember Animaniacs. I used to love that. Pinky and the Brain too.

Here's what you're looking for:

We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little looney,
And in this cartoony, we're invading your TV!
We're comic dispensers, we crack up all the censors,
On tiny toon adventures get a dose of comedy!

So here's Acme Acres, it's a whole wide world apart,
Our home sweet home, it stands alone, a cartoon work of art!
The scripts were rejected, expect the unexpected
On tiny toon adventures it's about to start!

They're furry, they're funny, they're Babs and Buster Bunny,
Montana Max has money, Elmyra is a pain!
Here's Hamton and Plucky, Dizzy Devil's yucky,
Furrball's unlucky, and Gogo is insane!

At Acme Looniversity we earn our toon degree,
The teaching staff's been getting laughs since 1933!
We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little looney,
It's tiny toon adventures, come and join the fun!

I remember that If there's one kids show I wish they'd bring back or put old episodes of on, it's gotta be Salute Your Shorts. That might have been my favorite. That and Pete and Pete.

Telly: Will you shut up!
Z.Z.: What? You don't want to save the whales?

Donkeylips: Hey, sponge.
Sponge Harris: Yeah?
Donkeylips: Maybe if I did lose weight I wouldn't get picked on as much. I'm a little husky, you know?

Pinsky: It's not exactly what they showed me in the brochure.
Pinsky: You know guys most camps have rules against bringing in outside food, but you know what? I don't like rules. Thus ladies and gentlemen I come bearing gifts. Behold famous Pinsky salami; the most delicious meat or meat byproduct known to man.

Michael Stein: Look, sponge if anything happens to Ug's equipment, I'm dead.

Dina Alexander: What?
Ug: I finally out-negotiated Dr. Kahn.
Telly: What happened?

Dina Alexander: Way to play hardball, Ug.
Bobby: Wow! That girl is amazing! That girl is breathtaking!
Pinsky: That girl is Dina!
Bobby: [Budnick and Dina are looking at their three-legged race trophy they just won] "Budnick and Dina." It has a nice ring to it.
Dina Alexander: Why isn't my name first?
Bobby: Do you want it first? I can make it first.
Dina Alexander: Whatever.
Bobby: You say that really nice.
Dina Alexander: You're weird.
Bobby: You say that nice too.
Bobby: [Budnick and Ronnie are talking about Budnick liking Dina] You want to know why?
Pinsky: Because she looks great in a bikini?
Bobby: No. Every cool guy needs a cool lady to hang with, and at this camp Dina is it.
[we see a fantasy version of Dina in the background as Budnick describes her]
Bobby: I mean she's perfect! She's gorgeous, she's smart...
Dina Alexander: E = MC... Hammer!
Bobby: And I bet she would win in a beauty competition. She really likes music too, just like me. She's a really good singer, and a good dancer, just like I am.
[Dina begins to hum]
Bobby: But it's what's on the inside that really counts. I mean Dina has a really big heart! And she really loves animals too. I think the thing I like about her most is that her dad has a couple of billion dollars. So I wouldn't mind calling him Dad either.
Pinsky: You just described a combination of Mother Teresa, Madonna, and Flipper. I'm not sure there was much Dina in there.
Bobby: I just got to find a way to ask her to the social so that she can't blow me off.
Pinsky: Well, if you are committed to that idea just do what you do best.
Bobby: Twist her arm?
Pinsky: Write her a song.
Bobby: A song... with a twist. Pinsky, you are a genius, second of course only to myself.
Pinsky: Hey!
[Sponge and Donkey Lips sit and watch Ronny and Telly fight over a piece of paper in the lake]
Donkeylips: Looks like Budnick has a crush on Dina.
Sponge Harris: And ZZ has a crush on Budnick.
Donkeylips: And I think Telly is actually crushing Pinsky.
Sponge Harris: But no-one has a crush on us.
Donkeylips: Do you think it is going to be that way our whole lives?
Sponge Harris: Nah, in a few years woman will love us for our minds and it won't matter if we're cool.
Donkeylips: I can't wait! Hey lets go rub some sticks together and see if we can start a fire.
[the kids just finish watching the tape of Budnick and Dina's first date]
Sponge Harris: The end.
Telly: The end of Budnick.
Pinsky: Budnick singing Captain & Tennille songs... Guys, to quote one of my favorite falsifiers, Baloo the Bear... "He's gone, man. Solid gone."
[campers are having a food fight when Budnick enters the room]
Bobby: Stop! Now!
[the campers stop]
Bobby: Are you all right, honey?
Dina Alexander: I'm fine; I was just having a little fun.
[Budnick yells at the rest of the campers as Ug enters the room with an ice pack on his head]
Bobby: Were you guys all born in barns? Don't you realize that food fighting is bad? Very, very bad! This camp has rules if we do not abide by those rules we could have complete anarchy!
[Budnick turns to Dina]
Bobby: I looked that up in the dictionary.
Ug: Bobby Budnick stopped a food fight? Oh, I must be still hallucinating. I need way more ice!
[Ug enters the cafeteria with a bandage on his head and talks to ZZ and Dina]
Ug: Question: What's wrong with Budnick? I mean, every time I saw his today he was nice. He even volunteered to pick up trash, it's scary.
Z.Z.: Sure is.
Dina Alexander: How's your head, Ug?
Ug: Fine, but do you guys hear this really high-pitched...
[Ug makes a beeping sound]
Z.Z., Dina Alexander: No.
Ug: Or this low pitched sound sort of womp... womp...
Z.Z., Dina Alexander: No.
Ug: So I guess that brontosaurus tap dancing in the corner isn't real, hun?
Z.Z., Dina Alexander: No.
Ug: I think I better go put some more ice on my head.
Z.Z.: You go do that, Ug, now...
[the kids are discussing how Budnick has changed since dating Dina]
Pinsky: Guys, we have a serious problem on our hands. The flow of candy into camp has dried up.
Donkeylips: Yeah, with Budnick stopping food fights it's like having another Ug!
Sponge Harris: I never thought I'd miss the old Budnick. I mean who wants to get beat up by a stranger?
Dina Alexander: I tried to break up with him, but he wouldn't let me.
Pinsky: Well, try plan B. Make him want to break up with you.
Z.Z.: How's she supposed to do that? Budnick worships the ground she walks on.
Pinsky: Look, I know you're normally a sweet wonderful human being without a ounce of meanness in you...
Telly: You haven't been in camp very long, have you?
Pinsky: But you got to do something so mean that Budnick won't be able to stand you. Call it "shock therapy for the love sick."
Dina Alexander: But I don't want to hurt him.
Pinsky: Dina! Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind.
Sponge Harris: Be mean!
Z.Z.: Be cunning!
Donkeylips: Be ruthless!
Telly: Be yourself.
Dina Alexander: I can do that!
[ZZ, Pinsky, and Donkey Lips are fishing]
Pinsky: Think about it. When you die they stick you in the ground and it's the worms that eat you up!
Z.Z.: Then somebody digs up the worms that ate you and use to catch fish which somebody else eats.
Donkeylips: So wait a second guys, when we had fish sticks the other night, I could have eaten a fish, that ate a worm, that ate Elvis?
Z.Z.: You could be burping up the king as we speak!
[Pinsky holds up a worm]
Pinsky: "Hey, look at me! I ate Moe from the Three Stooges!"
[ZZ also holds up a worm]
Z.Z.: "I ate Henry David Thoreau, who lived at Walden Pond."
Donkeylips: Come on, guys, just cut it out! That's weird!
[Pinsky continues to tease Donkey Lips, this time as Curly from the Three Stooges]
Pinsky: "Hey, look at me, I ate Curly! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"
Z.Z.: Betsy Ross!
Donkeylips: That does it! I'm off of seafood. I'm sticking with hot dogs!
Z.Z.: You know what they put in hot dogs?
Donkeylips: I don't want to hear it!
Bobby: [everyone is singing the opening theme song] It makes me wanna fart.
Ug: [shouts] It's "I hope that we never part". Now get it right or pay the price.

Salute your shorts

Sorry, but nothing beats old school Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Wyle E. Coyote....the rest was garbage.

Don't forget about Droopy, Roadrunner, Tweety, and Tom & Jerry

Foghorn Leghorn was the best...

"flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork. Bingo, Drooper, Fleegle & Snork."



All Hail The Banana Splits

Hanna-Barbera cartoons and the old Warner Brothers cartoons (when Warner Bros. wasn't "the 'WB'" and thus still decent) were and are the best ever. Hong Kong Phooey, Grape Ape, Tennesee Tuxedo, Underdog....... all classics


Oh yeah... and while not a cartoon, Lancelot Link is the BEST!

I love Tom & Jerry, who woulda thunk it.

No voices, just music and animation.

I also loved Fat Albert, Top Cat, Superfriends, Pepe LePue, Porky Pig.

And in the non-animated, Land of the Lost, Electric Company (Which I just saw is out on DVD now), Captain Kangaroo, Sigmund the Seamonster.

I bewg your pawdon, mister....but Elmer Fudd was the best.



So be qwiet...vewy vewy qwiet....
