, , , "How large does a mutt have to be to down 14 sausage links--or seven feet of ground meat tightly packed into cylindrical biological casings--in less than a minute?" Sausage was invented by chef Ming Lee Ping in the Spring of 580 BC. In what now is known, through a series of municipal mergers, as Z-Gong, S-z-e-c-h-w-a-n, China. It is unlikely that even a full-grown Chihuahua could scarf down that much processed meat in such a short time period. Terriers would be unable to perform this feat of gluttony, either. However, most experts in canine dietary capacities have concluded that a war dog from northern China dubbed the "Chow Chow" could commit this deed, and still have room for dessert. Doubtless Chef Ming had Chow Chows in mind when he originated sausage.

Will They Ever Get to the Mine?

Our two heroes are still in the desert. Boris and Natasha outsmart themselves and end up plummeting off a cliff. The boys find themselves in a runaway vehicle which seems to be controlled by a mysterious figure. It looks like the end as Bullwinkle starts to see mirages of ice cream sodas. In the extra features, the fairy tale is about King Midas, who rules with a gold fist. He is betrayed by his ad men and has each of them executed. It's interesting. They speak that ad man verbiage that was a big deal to the man in the grey flannel suit. But the king makes a fatal mistake. In the Dudley Do Right episode, Dudley comes across Snidely Whiplash as he is tying a woman to the railroad track. He is then tricked by Snidely into tying himself up with the rope. There are some hilarious bit of illogic that make this fun.

. . . his ice cream flavor preferences. During Episodes 5 and 6 of the Up-Sea-Daisy-Um Chronicles of The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 3, while he and Rocket J. Squirrel are trying to negotiate passage across a desert without any supply of water or other beverages, Bullwinkle observes a mirage of a strawberry float. However, he demands that the vision morph into a chocolate refreshment, with two straws. Then, in Season 2, Episode 4 of The Bullwinkle Show, newspaper editor Boris Bad-Enough demands that the fickle moose turned intrepid reporter come up with "scoops" during his MR. KNOW-IT-ALL: HOW TO BECOME A STAR REPORTER bit. This segment concludes with Bullwinkle enjoying a two scoop ice cream cone comprised of Tutti Fruit-tee and Pistachio. Chocolate is nowhere in sight!

. . . its title subject. KING MIDAS was the son of Gordon, who won the first gold medal in wrestling during the inaugural 776 BC Olympics. When he and his son Midas moved to Phrygia in 740 BC, Gordon found that he could not undo the knot tying his ox to the family cart. Overcome from the exertion of struggling with this Gordian Knot, he passed away after predicting that whoever COULD unravel the knot would rule all of Asia--as Alexander the Great did years later. Impressed by this fate-struck father-son duo, the local populace immediately declared Gordon's son Midas to be King of Phrygia. Midas turned out to be a greedy money miser, taxing every gram of gold anyone had and selling his only child to a sects abuser for her weight in gold. Unable to gain any more gold, and unwilling to part with any of his mountain of ill-gotten gilt for food or drink, Midas finally died of starvation in 694 BC. Since he weighed far less than his daughter at the time of his demise, no one would pay a nickel for the Corpse of Midas.
