We Are NEVER Too Old For Cartoons

I'm very, very ancient and decrepit, but I STILL love cartoons. 

Why, you ask so curiously? 


Well, uh...it's because cartoons can do ANYTHING!

Whatever the cartoon creators imagine, can be exactly duplicated and put in to animated magic, that goes into our brains so deeply that we STILL remember them vividly into our "old coot" years. 

Don't believe me? 

Okay, I'll prove it!

1. Name the 7 Dwarfs. 
See, you knew all of them...except maybe Doc! 

2. Pixie and _______.
No, not Jinx! Dixie is the answer...uh...well...Jinx is also kind of right. 

3. What was the name of Tom Terrific's dog?
Incorrect...it was NOT Mighty Joe Young, but Mighty______
Mighty Mouse is NOT a dog! Mighty Manfred, The Wonder Dog, man! 




 








4. Who was Popeye's foe, Bluto or Brutus? 


Hint: Trick question. 
Both!  First Bluto and then Brutus, due to a copyright thing or something. 






                                                                          
Bluto  
                                                         Brutus         

So...as you can clearly see, I was wrong about vividly remembering cartoons in our "old fart" years. 

On the other hand, I still enjoy watching them olde cartoons, and they SEEM new, because my memory is totally "hammered" from too much cartoon watching...or some other reason. 

I can't believe how old I am!!! 

See the olde school below, with the olde cars parked in front, that look like they came out of a James Cagney/Edward G. Robinson movie, and the little kids dressed like the Lil' Rascals? 

That was MY school!!!

Clinton-Peabody Elementary School
                      Circa 1950                   

I was born in 1950, so I didn't attend Clinton Peabody until Circa 1955 for Kinny-Garden. At least that's what I called it. 

The only reason I included this photo of Clinton-Peabody is to illustrate just how olde I am. 

Now, totally forget about me being olde and decrepit, and focus in on ants. 

I was watching the ants out on my patio this morning and noticed how fast they travel! I was thinking to myself, Danny, I believe these ants travel faster than cars, proportionately. So I looked it up and found...

• Assume a human is 6 feet tall. At the same rate as the ant, the human would cover 787 times its size, or 4,723 feet per minute.

• Put that in a unit most people (including me) could recognize, and that's 53.6 miles per hour.

Haaa! You NEVER EVEN DREAMED you would learn anything from reading this ridiculous blob..I mean, blog..did ya?!!

Especially from an olde dude like me!!!



Please stop bringing age into the argument..wouldya? 

Where was I? 

Oh yeah, the genius, Galileo who lived to the ripe old age of 77 was an Italian polymath. Known for his work as astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician, Galileo has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and even the "father of science!"

Not bad for an olde guy. right?! 

Of course, we are not discussing the ignorance of youth, compared to the wisdom and experience of the elderly, are we? 

Remember when Ronald Reagan said this in a debate with Walter Mondale...of course you don't...you're too young...

Latvian Dance Festival Rocks

Here you see me in Latvia...at the Latvian Dance Festival, where students from all over this Baltic country compete for the Trophy Of Goats and Chickens, that has been handed down to the winners since ancient times. I am wearing the traditional Latvian longhat, that also doubles as a parachute in the cliff jumping "Dance Of The Angels."

It is an honor and a privilege for the young students to participate in the dance festival, even though they really have no choice in the matter. An olde Latvian proverb reads like this..."Your heart may tell you not to dance, but you better dance anyway, or suffer the curse of the Fatal Foot Fungus!"

Actual photo of Fatal Foot Fungus

The only way I can describe this lovely Latvian Dance Festival, with Latvian musicians playing home made wooden flutes and stringed instruments, and wearing a multitude of colorful costumes is by including these recent pictures....

Wow! I'm so happy that you were able to travel with me to the Latvian Dance Festival...all be it vicariously! 
Wasn't it fun NOT to hear about Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh , Christine Blazzey Ford, and the "Russian collusion" for a change?

If you want to keep not hearing about these things, come on over to my blog, where nonsense is nonsensical, sarcasm is sarcastic, and wit is witless! 
Disclaimer: Not any or all of this blog has any association with the C.I.A., extraterrestrials, Monty Python, the death of Marvin Hamlisch, and, above all else...the truth. 

     BRETT KAVANAUGH IS MUCH WORSE THAN  YOU  THINK!!!!! 

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BRETT KAVANAUGH....

1. He was not a good baby! He cried a lot and had messy diapers!!

2. As a little boy he said a bad word...poop!! 

3. When he was 9 years old he "accidentally" wandered into a Victoria's Secret store!!

How can any decent American ever want this degenerate psychopath to be on the Supreme Court where he might even "hit on" Ruth Bader Ginsburg!!

It's been many moons since I blogged out anything, but the above video is soooo great! 
It's all about love, teamwork, compassion and fantastic stuff like that! 
I think you should watch it and feel good about today's youth, who frequently get a bad rap.

The Cardinals Win!

Hey, hey, after 3 miserable losses to the Pitiful Pirates, the Cardinals win, win, win, 5 to 1 over them dirty pie-rats!!

I especially enjoyed Piscotty's 3 run homer! 

How many red blooded Cardinal fans, want to give this a high five?

FUNNY HOW THINGS CHANGE

Hi, gang! 

I've decided to discontinue Out Of This World Wednesday, due to numerous reasons.

1. Running out of ideas.

2. The few fans I had are cross with me.

3. It's more fun going freestyle, with no set topics or story lines to follow.

4. Because I can. 

You may have noticed the photo of my dog, Chevy, and me when you clicked on to the blog, however, if you didn't click on to the blog, you didn't see anything.

Too bad, because Chevy is cute.

So, if you have not clicked on to my blog, and are not seeing this, just ignore everything you haven't read.

That's not the point, anyways. The point is that I'm releasing all of my inner angst by writing this drivel, even if nobody reads it.

angst

äNG(k)st/

noun

1. a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general.

I love the Cardinals bazeball team, and they will be coming on the telly in a few minutes, so I can't drag this out too long, which is to your benefit, gang!

I want to take this time to re-apologize to everyone who I have confused and disgruntled. 

Sorry, but I got hit in the head with a wooden swing as a young tater tot, and it discombobbled my tiny brain, everlastingly. True story.

No matter, I feel better now, and I hope you do too! 

Funny how things change.

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

Back To The Old West

Episode II

Rosie and Gary think it's a splendid idea to jump in the Away Back Machine and travel away back in time to the wild, wild west on Earth, circa 1879.

However, they first need to climb into the shape-shifter device, and change their appearances, so as not to frighten the earthlings when they arrive. 

Rosie steps into the beautiful blue ball looking device, and in just a few nano seconds is transformed into a purdy gal from the old west...













                 Rosie before transformation.                                                                                                                                                               Aftertransform-
                                                                          mation.

Next, Gary goes through the fascinating shape-shifting process, and here are the results...














Gary - "Rosie! You make a beauteous cowgirl, like Annie Oakley! How do I look!"

Rosie - "Do you want me to be honest, pard?"

Gary -"Sure, Miss Purdy!"

Rosie - "You look like Gabby Hayes!"

Gary - (Looks in a mirror) "Yikes!!! I DO look like Gabby Hayes!!! Oh, well, at least the earthlings will not know we're really Glirkazoids."

Rosie - "Let's go over our check list, Gary, and make sure we have all the items we need to survive in the old west."

Gary - "Surely!"

Rosie - "Don't call me Shirley!"

Rosie begins pulling items off the shelf, while Gary checks them off. 

Rosie - "Six shooters!"

Gary - "Check!"

Rosie - "Seven shooters!"

Gary - "NO check! There are no such things as seven shooters!"

Rosie - "Just seeing if you're paying attention, Skeezix."
"Lassos!"

Gary - "Check!" 

Rosie - "Boots and spurs!"

Gary - "Check!"

Rosie - "Two pieces of hoss flesh!"

Gary - "Two WHAT?!!"

Rosie - "That means two horses, wrangler! Remember how in cowboy movies, a cowboy will say to another cowboy, "You have a fine piece of hossflesh," referring to his horse?" 

Gary - "Oh, yeah, now I remember! I don't get it, but I remember! Unfortunately, we have no horses in stock, Miss Kitty."

Rosie - "No probleemo, we can bring some gold nuggets and buy a couple of pieces of hoss flesh when we get there."

Gary - "Ah ha!! I caught you, Rosie! You must have pocketed some of dem golden eggs, from the Golden Chicken Of Kluck , that we were SUPPOSED to hand over to the Museum Of Chicken Artifacts, you little bandit!"

Rosie - "No, Gary, you..."

Gary - "How else would you have gold nuggets, if not for your sticky fingers grabbing some of dem golden eggs, hmmm?"

Rosie - "Gary, Gary, don't make a fool out of yourself! Don't you remember..."

Gary - "Here, you lecture ME about not absconding with the Golden Chicken and her golden eggs, and I catch you red handed with gold nuggets, you little Bonnie Parker!"

Bonnie and Clyde

Rosie - "THE GOLDEN CHICKEN OF KLUCK PRODUCED PLATINUM EGGS, KNUCKLEHEAD!! NOT GOLD EGGS!!"

Gary - "Oh, that's right. My bad. Sorry!"

Rosie - "I accept your apology, Gary."

Gary - "By the way, where DID you get those gold nuggets?"

Rosie - "Good grief!!"

Join us next week, when Rosie and Gary FINALLY jump into the Away Back Device and begin their old west adventures...we hope...in OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY!!!!
