blackjohn Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 If technology is supposed to be this great thing, this thing that is supposed to help relieve mankind of some his burdens, why is it that we still have janitors cleaning bathrooms, and guys driving around in trucks picking up trash?

Mission Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Remember that cartoon where Daffy Duck is selling the push-button home of the future to Elmer Fudd and the ingenious devices end up jacking his house way into the air? That's why. _________________ "For a small fee, I can install this little blue button to get you back down." -Daffy Duck Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
blackjohn Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Daffy (pushing button): "In the house of the future, we don't go upstairs. We bring the upstairs down to us!" Elmer (to the sound of much crunching): "But what happens to the downstairs?" Yeah, I always liked that one.

Captain Winslow Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Hey Mates.... Are any of you Jimmy Buffet fans ? Are any of you going to the Key West Pirate Festival in Key West ? I was checking out the website and it looks like fun. Let me know !
Mission Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Mad Magazine and Warner Brothers Cartoons had a major impact on my formulative years.

Mission Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Captain Winslow, this site has a whole forum devoted to the Key West Pirates festival. Check it out here. I was there once (2001 I think), but I missed the bulk of the festivities. I got a nice Key West Pirate Festival 2001 cap - which I lost in the outback in Australia. Easy come, easy go. I bought an outback redback spider cap to replace it. (I'm not being very helpful here, am I?) Who doesn't like Jimmy Buffett? If you think you don't like him, you've got to go to one of his shows; you will instantly start liking him, I think. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I.

Mission Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Here's a photo of me in my spider cap on a dive boat on the Great Barrier Reef looking extraordinarily stupid: (I'm doing "fan hands" which was a running scuba joke invented by three idiots on the trip. ) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

I'm wishing I had my dvd of Looney Tunes at work now thanks to you gents. My favorites are Transylvania 6-5000, Robin Hood Daffy, Rhapsody Rabbit, and any of the Pepe Le Pew cartoons. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...

Mission Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 The ultimate Bugs Bunny cartoon (for me) is The Rabbit of Seville where Bugs and Elmer joust (physically, musically and otherwise) over the Barber of Seville set. "Yes, you're next! You'rrrre so next!" Sure, What's Opera, Doc? is a Classic and all, but for sheer comedy, you can't beat Rabbit of Seville. Second is Bully for Bugs where Bugs, having missed the left turn at Albuquerque, takes on one of his largest (and dumbest) foes. "What an imbezel! What an ultramaroon!" Eddie Selzer (head of the cartoon studio at the time) upon seeing a sketch of a bull on Jones desk told Jones and writer Michael Maltese something like, "No cartoons about bull fights! There's nothing funny about bull fights!" Of course, this lead Jones and Maltese to create this hilarious cartoon. Chuck Jones is one of my all-time favoritist heroes.

I have two tunes on my Ipod, which is unfortunately at home charging right now: Attsamattaforyou and the Fuedin Redneck Dance (I forget which cartoon that's from) Looney Tunes is the best...Disney's a close second for me in the cartoon arena.
