Bullwinkle is famous because his bunion can predict the weather. People call him at all hours of the day. As he sleeps, he is kidnapped by a couple thugs who fly him away. His foot is kept in a little crate. Rocky gets caught up in the Washington DC bureaucracy trying to get help. In additional features, Aesop tells his son the story of the Canary and the Two Hares. Two rabbits play silent music and draw huge crowds until the Canary shows up. Peabody visits Pancho Villa. Not all that interesting.

. . . fifth place in a 1995 BBC Radio 4 Bookworm poll of notable poesy. Here in America, that's what would be dubbed as a "participation award." But Britain is one of those bleeding heart everybody-gets-a-trophy enclaves, where quantity is preferred over quality, and "First Class" is equivalent to mediocre. British Isle "chefs" are known for such culinary atrocities as Christmas pudding, mutton and blackbird pie. Bullwinkle's Corner exposes DAFFODILS for the pretentious puff piece it's always been. Bill Wordsworth prattles on and on about a plethora of "golden" flowers. Gold-hued daffodils have their own name. Botanists have labeled them as "jonquils," but I guess that doesn't rhyme with "misinformation," "dolt," or "dunce."
Meteorologists always have been controversial . . .

, , , and Bullwinkle J. Moose proves to be no exception to this rule in GREEN BURNT ORANGE, as the title of this saga translates into American. King Phil II of Spain had Diego Garcia's noggin lopped off when his faulty forecast for wind direction resulted in the loss of 19,604 sailors, along with his entire Spanish Armada of 44 ships. Similarly, the Fuhrer strung up storm predictor Heinrich Schwartz for "allowing" lightning to incinerate the Hindenburg dirigible in 1937, killing 35 people and giving German aviation a black eye. More recently, TV 6 Action News weather gal Phoebe Phillips got canned for predicting sunny skies during the 1997 Indianapolis 500, during which the trek to Victory Lane was delayed by two days due to multiple thunderstorms. So Bullwinkle's Bunions join a long list of endangered weather gurus.
Greek fable writer Aesop heretofore has not been given . . .

, , , due credit for inventing the trombone. However, AESOP AND SON: THE CANARY AND THE MUSICAL HARES makes it clear that this is the irrefutable case. Though the exact day on which Aesop originated a brass instrument with a slide is somewhat murky, it's most likely prior to 564 BC. Before today, slipshod musicologists have tried to claim that some unknown anonymous nameless Portuguese individual created the trombone in 1478, but called it the "sack-but." To make this music maker more palatable, Italians soon renamed the sack-but to what we currently call it: trombone. But my research shows an individual named Ludwig wielding what is clearly a trombone during a segment called AESOP AND SON: THE CANARY AND THE MUSICAL HARES of this Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 27, which bestows the credit for making trombones possible to the Greeks.
