Bullwinkle Clocks In

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 25 February 2016]

Most of this episode involves Bullwinkle hanging precariously from the hands of an enormous clock that controls all the clocks in the city. People's lives are totally disrupted because they don't know what time it is. Of course, Boris continues to gain control of the box tops, the moose being his biggest adversary. In the Aesop and Son, we have the story of "The Hare and the Hound" where an insensitive hound takes advantage of the kindness of his fellow creature. Peabody and Sherman visit the first race at Churchill Downs, as a horse, suffering from sleeping sickness, has to be aroused in order to compete. As is usually the case, there are forces at work preventing him from doing that. An average offering.

. . . players have ever populated Baseball's hallowed Hall of Fame. MR. KNOW-IT-ALL: HOW TO ESCAPE FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND AND GET AWAY FROM IT ALL highlights the career of Jacques "Bull" Brothers, who enjoyed the second longest Major League Baseball career of any native Frenchman. During Bull's 73 games in the Big's, Bull whiffed an amazing 144 times. That's why this tribute concludes with his most famous remark, "In Baseball, it's three strikes and you're out." Devil's Island, of course, was not only the team providing the jumping off point for Bull's career, but also gave France's most famous pitcher--Captain Al "Dry" Fuzz, his start. Hurling for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Al struck out 28 batters during his M. L. B. Career, including the New York Giant's Bull 16 times. Unfortunately, Al gave up 29 career homers, mostly to other Giants batsmen.

. . . had his big moment on-screen, dangling high over a city street from the hands of a clock in his picture SAFETY LAST! During GIVE 'EM THE WORKS or ROCKY AROUND THE CLOCK, Bullwinkle J. Moose spoofs, mocks and belittles Harry's big moment from 37 years earlier. Why such disrespect for a one-time Tinsel Town Big Shot, rising from his prostate cancer death bed only to take 3-D lewd photos of famous strippers? Mostly because Dirty Harry was nearly Evil enough to crack the infamous Hollywood Ten list of trashy Rich Oafs driving thousands of innocent blue collar wage workers to early demises through starvation, bankruptcy and suicide with an avalanche of slander, lies and libel. Ginger Snaps' mom edged out Harry to pose beside her daughter, Jack Ford, Ell Crazy One, Charlie Heston, Headless Hopper, Ronnie Ray Gun, Frankie Cap Raw, War Bonds and Marion Mitchell "Duke-the-family-Mutt" Morrison in Hollywood's Hall of Shame.

. . . AESOP AND SON: THE HARE AND THE HOUND. When you research the original text of this fable, you'll discover that the entire thing adds up to only 58 words, when translated into American. However, this picture reveals that it is far more involved than that, and includes other characters, such as a bear and a skunk. HARE also informs viewers that rabbits may live as long as 60 years, which is a great relief to my family. A close relation raised an orphaned bunny in her bedroom for a couple of weeks, after it was found next to a deceased sibling below an eaves trough downspout extender not far from a patch of rabbit fur ripped from the slain parent by a nocturnal carnivore. After releasing the now much larger bunny in a woods ten miles away, the foster mom insisted that we honk to say "Hi" each time we drove by that park in subsequent years. It's nice to know that that hare will be around to hear this greeting for decades to come.
