Pissed Off Cartoon Characters!
Do Toon Town people have a case against the
artists and animation studios?
You think it was
easy just turning up every Saturday for the cartoons? No, you
were not paying attention to the drawings all week, like we have
to, the art
department guys can
be cruel and draw you wrong. We had to watch them every
day so they didn't make us humpbacks or bearded ladies, or have
five fingers. We have problems too, some of us were promised lots of things but
the Toon industry is not always genuine, they think because they
draw us we have no life? We sure as hell do, you think Felix
isn't alive? Know what it's like to see Dumbo cry? We're thinking of starting a Cartoon Characters
Standards Association and need your backing. So vote for who you think
has the biggest beef that will get us some credibility and attention.
Just think of this:
If you are in love with Jessica Rabbit, and if you ever meet
her, she'll be exactly the same woman you lusted for. Nice huh? You'll be old
but you can still snuggle. If you want her to
stay snuggleable forever then agree and vote. Besides, once she's done teasing you Jessica will probably
toss you into the shredder anyway. So vote.

WILE E. COYOTE
They promised me
my own strip, syndicated and everything, but they lied,
Mickey Mouse became my boss and all I got was wagging and panting
jobs! I had dreams like Lassie and Rin-tin-tin, but
I never got to save nobody. Man’s best friend wasn't a Mouse! He didn't know but I soiled his shorts many times. I
coulda chomped him in a minute with a rebel artist drawing me but
Production watched them guys like hawks in case one of
them drew a penis or something and it got slipped into a cell.
Kids never had penises in them days.
They took away my twusty shot gun. I am supposed to be a freaking hunter!
Yosemite Sam went into a deep depression at the loss of his six
guns. Is Sam supposed to stab you with his mustache now? It’s a
TOON world, man! Nobody dies! I am supposed to be a villain? If
I say ‘Where is that pesky wabbit?’ am I a believable heavy or
about as dumb as Goofy? How come Clint is allowed to ‘Make his
day’ with a 44 Magnum and I can’t even keep my trusty shot gun?
They are renaming the Woodpecker guy too? Saying 'Woody' has
sexual connotations.
Snow White was not good for kids in those days, ya know, doctors
were promoting healthy apples for years and along I come as
Queen Witch with a poisoned Gravenstein for chrissakes! Why
did I have to become the forest bitch? Glen Close did Cruella
and everybody loves her! They put me in a freakin’ mirror and
even Vampires didn’t look in! I could tell you things about Doc
and Dopey too. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go? That ain't
where they went. You don't wanna see those drawings. Don’t get me going.
We coyotes are famous for being smart, yeah? So what the effin 'ell am I?
Too stupid to not run off the cliff? Gimme a break. If I hear
‘meep meep’ one more
time I’m giving someone a rabies bite! Don’t you think I got
tired of being a pile of smoke as the punch line? Damn right.
Fall off a cliff and before that smoke clears there’s a freight rig going
a hundred MPH right at me? With a load of cement! And a boulder
dislodged from up there. And I'm on the rail-road tracks! Sheeez.
Talk about overkill! They could have let me catch
a one-legged chicken once in a while.
BLACK PETE
BETTY BOOP
OSWALD RABBIT
RED SONJA
I was a good character, but they made
me bad. Some dolt in the story department said to stuff a cigar
in my mouth, ‘cause it looks awful! I hate cigars! They WANTED
me to look awful, to be the bad guy all the time. I coulda been
like Tommy Lee Jones, played nothing but heavies until they
needed muscle and grump for police guys. Then he gets the lucky break into the big
money. I get the chin-stipple artist and never the shave. Bad
guy bears have feelings too. I'm not really scary at all.
You’d throw up your hands too if you
started out as a sex symbol in 1930 and they’ve been stealing
from me ever since. I had the voice long before Marilyn Monroe. And the
legs and garter. Guys don’t even know what an effin garter IS
today! And sure, I wasn’t huge in the chest but it wasn’t
ridiculous then, now they got Jessica Rabbit launching her boobs
all over you! So
don’t call and ask me what I’m wearing, the same red thing as
always! Boop Boop a Doop is never gonna droop!
So I was doing okay being a black colored rabbit, but Disney
changed me to brown. Because he favored that little shit Bugs
Bunny. Said I looked too much like a rat. He always treated
Mickey the best too. Pissed me off because I was first, in 1927!
Did you even know I was in Steamboat Willie too? Nooo, Mickey
got all the press while Walt had an argument with the Producer
and I got pressed into oblivion. Look, they even made
me wear that damn Mouse's gloves!
You think this is fair? Get real. I am out here battling to save
the whole friggin’ world wearing a lace bra and thong and the
guys are in steel armor with spiked knuckles? Equal what? And
try to get a job with a flat chest! Cleavage is everything! The
studio pays for most of the tits you know. You think anyone
would watch SIX Tripping the Rift if she just stood still and
didn't
jiggle? And the next Studio guy who pats my ass and
calls me Honey is gonna get his throat slit and fingers
stuffed into the gaping hole! The blood on my sword is
from a guy I caught drawing ears on Alley Oop.
You're only as good as your last drawing.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Academy Award winning film is a murder mystery
set in 1947, in a surreal world where cartoon characters, commonly called 'Toons',
are living beings who act out cartoons in the same way human actors make live action
productions. Toons interact freely with humans and live in an area called Toontown. Bob Hoskins was
terrific.

Covid - 19 - your thoughts?
Also
known as the coronavirus, Wuhan virus, Chinese
virus or SARS 2. No-one seems to know exactly
from where, how or when it arrived. Was it even
from Wuhan China? A wet market from live
animals? An experiment gone awry? A programmed
release from a mad scientist? There were many
Americans working on this in China. Why? Who of
them disappeared? Was it genetic engineering?
There has been stealthy speculation that human
population of 2 billion people on Earth is the
sustainable amount. But we have 7 billion now.
Covid-19 is currently scourging the
Earth and deaths are everywhere. Rumors abound and speculation is rampant about
the origins!
So vote on what you think is
happening.
Do we need to 'eliminate' five billion people to save Earth?

Which country are you most reluctant
to visit?
Many countries today seem
like they are downright dangerous to visit, like they are under siege!
Are there now places in the
world you won't visit for fear of life threatening attacks? Are you choosing
'stay-cation' rather then vacation? Is the potential of violence determining your travels? While skipping the obvious hot zones, many
tempting travel destinations remain, but ...
Which countries are the most
dengerous to you in spite of their glossy travel brochures?

Are Late Night Talk Shows entertaining or
irritating?
Do the after 11 pm hosts send you off to
bed with a smile or a scowl?
It all started with Steve Allen
keeping you grinning from 11:30 to 1 am with his zany humor and
addictive
lack of composure that was just fun and set you up for a
peaceful sleep. That was then, this is now. Have they become
more of a mental test sending you off to troubled dreams?
What is the criteria for judging these
hosts and what they are doing at the end of your day? The
general consensus seems that they are getting worse with less
fun and replaced by a strident message from comedians who have
become late night
activists cleverly disguised as humorists! Political commentary instead of
pleasurable
moments? What do you
think? This poll is worst instead of best
... we think we know who the best were, but the plunge to the
bottom
has come
quickly. Who are the culprits with a not so subtle political agenda?
Do you too see desperation in their demeanor? Where has the fun
and entertainment gone? Vote yourself - - -
Who is the worst?
Trevor Noah
Jimmy Fallon
Stephen Colbert
James Corden
Seth Myres
Jimmy Kimmel
Conan O'Brien
Don't Watch
Inherited the intelligent humor show
from John Stewart. Has he been up to the challenge?
A ton of talent but are his games and
constant ego one-upsmanship getting in the way of fun?
Once pretended to be Republican but is he
now tiresome with his constant Democratic message?
Seems to be climbing onto the anti-Trump
bandwagon but does he have to yell so much?
Total anti-Trump politico who seems intent
on making his hour a boring extension of
CNN?
Hatchet-man Kimmel trying to stay with
the others while waiting to chop a better no Trump rating?
Conan cut to a half hour and might not
have time for the poor Trump impression now?
I never tune in these shows now and find
more humor in the 'Hunting for Hitler' show.

Who is to blame for the BC Legislature scandal?
The scandal (again) in the BC government is
just shaping up. Many more exposés seem to be just
under the fog in the ongoing scandal.
One whistleblower has already come
forward, are there more in the shadows? Knowing what has surfaced so far,
can
you hold anyone to account for the obvious Culture of Entitlement that has
resulted in greed by people who are paid more than most corporate CEOs?
How far
will this go? Is one person or many responsible? If so, who?
Take your pick, and try not to cry, it is YOUR
money they were spending - - -

were exposed and shoot the messenger ?

What phobias do you fear most?
Phobias are extreme or irrational fears of
events, objects or dangers real or imagined
and can appear at any stage of life and
sometimes defy explanation except to conclude
that they are born from perhaps too much
thinking and maybe just being alive.
Which one are you most likely to be
concerned with?
Zoophobia
Pogonophobia
Blennophobia
Fear of
animals, zoos and finding yourself the human
exhibit in the collection of a giant
pimply-faced kid of a wealthy alien on planet
XT24b. He wears a propeller beanie.
Please do not feed the tiny Human.
Fear of
beards and becoming the 'friend' of a friend for
the
illicit purpose of a forbidden love lust which
doesn't include your Sweet Smell. You're also afraid of Santa.
Fear of
slime and gooey things. Being prisoner
to Jabba the Hutt is your worst nightmare.
You cross the street to avoid a slug, and
carry salt with you always to combat aggressive
snails.
Ballistophobia
Coprostasophobia
Didaskaleinophobia
Fear of
bullets, especially bullets going at extreme
high speed aimed at you. A common phobia
that affected Tony Soprano, Al Capone and
that pesky Looney wabbit. Be vewy quiet.
Fear of
constipation and are scared a flash fire will start
down in
the bowels of your basement just when you begin
to feel action moving behind
your pantaloon hernia.
Fear of
schools. Affects
children but Night School can be scary too. Hey,
Teacher, leave them kids alone! Learn masonry from Pink Floyd and grow
your brownie mix behind The Wall.
Allodoxaphobia
Russophobia
Pnigerophobia
Fear of
hearing what others are thinking of you. You
wear ear buds without a radio, and avoid
crowds because those people are whispering about
you. You stay under the porch.
Fear of
Russians and that Stalin is alive and
well and living in
Graceland, waiting to make you drink wodka and play tamborine
with Lenin and Colonel Sanders.
Fear of
smothering. Even if it is an erotically wonderful
way to die you are still terrified your death may
come too quickly or from dusty old pillows and
you won't be able to hear heartbeats.
Yes they are real phobias
FYI - snakes top the list
POLL Seventeen -
What news source do you trust?
We get hours and miles of news
coverage every day of our lives. But where do we turn to believe
that news endless chatter? TV?
Newspapers? Radio? The World Wide Web? Whispers from the edge?
Ted Turner thrust his Atlanta news station into
the first look network, with instant coverage of
breaking news world wide, has it plunged into
mediocrity, bloat and a DNC agenda?
Originally a Middle East outlook, the
Arabic news network from Qatar has emerged into
world-wide coverage viewed by anyone with
interest in alternate news.
Trusty old BBC no more? Maybe not since their reporter told us
on 9/11 that WT7 had fallen down when it was
clearly visible over her shoulder
across New York Harbor still standing.
The Russian View has exploded into
reporting about us all as more people see it
isn't just about Russia but also America and
what Main Stream Media misses, but purposely?
ABC is now
owned by Disney. Has their news programming become
just political
opinion and entertainment vehicles? Expertly
drawn from
the cartoon influence of Mickey animation?
Controversial news and views with a brash
mad-at-everybody slant?
Is NYT the last of broadsheet newspapers in
the
age of electronic immediacy? Yet with a creative
faux news twist.
Julian Assange shot his revealing website into
the leading edge of public awareness by exposing
hidden news, tattling on the powerful and pissing off every politician on
the planet.
Fox, ridiculed by the left, heralded by the
right, continues to spin views controversial to
many and what some believe is of doubtful
value. Except for the departed media darling Bill O'Reily.
Is the mysterious web based, free wheeling hacker group who can bring down corrupt
corporations,
secret agencies, military orgs and governments floundering?
Do you pour
over all these networks and others too? Seeking
a vanishing truth because you cannot trust the
constantly biased slant from
these other so called news sources?

POLL Eleven -
Would you use 'Cloud' storage?
Cloud storage
is networked online storage where data is stored in virtualized pools
generally hosted by third parties. Hosting companies operate large data
centers, and people who require their data to be hosted buy or lease
storage capacity from them. Allowing companies or individuals to save
the cost of maintaining their own data storage. The data center
operators, in the background,
virtualize the
resources according to the requirements of the customer and expose them
as storage pools, which the customers can access and use to store
private files or data objects. Physically, the resource may span across
multiple servers. There is some suspicion that sensitive data stored by
another company, could be used or made available secretly to interested
parties, including the FBI etc.
