, , , The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 14, the moose mentions that Edgar Allan Poe wrote THE RAVEN, but does not provide much of a backstory. It turns out that when Cadet Poe was expelled from West Point for writing the word "Bells" too many times during cannon ball class, he grew very depressed on the train back to Virginia, wondering if he'd ever see his soul mate Cadet Leonard Flynn again. As his train clicked and clacked over the rails, Poe gave in to the urge to somehow memorialize his love for the Lost Leonard. Scribbling on the back of an envelope, Poe completed a virtual final draft of THE RAVEN by the time his locomotive pulled into the Harper's Ferry station. Bullwinkle simplifies all of this to a reprise of the Hammerstein verse about how "woodpeckers peck it on wood."

Parking Space!

The boys find out why they have not been able to get Mount Flatten to Washington. Boris and Natasha have a more powerful engine which blows them back to where they started. So the solution is blow up the mountain so no one benefits from its qualities. A sidebar takes us to Pottsylvania where we are give information as to why the mineral Upsidasium is so important to their culture. The fairy tale this time is the PIed Piper. He plays an instrument called a "flat" which only mice can hear. This leads to a problem for the king who employs him in a strange task involving cheese. Dudley Do Right is not getting his man and is in danger of losing is job, so he brings a stranger to see Inspector Fenwick. Some very funny scenes, including those who are put in the jail.

, , , the future production of the most infamous vehicle in automotive history. Pot-Sylvan-Land's "Assassin 8" model cars established the template tor Europe's execrable Yugo's, which were copied virtually bolt-for-bolt from the SUPERSONIC BOOM portion of the U-See-Daisy-Yum Saga. After being subjected to instant ridicule from all corners of the civilized world, the reputation of the Yugo plunged to its nadir on Sept. 22, 1989, when one driven by the doomed Leslie "Blue" Carr blew off Michigan's soaring Mackinac Bridge. Though Ms. Carr's corpse was recovered eventually, the hamster providing her sub-compact's severely limited power perished without a trace.
