CARTOONS (continued): • “Oh curses, foiled again!” was the line regularly delivered by arch villain Snidely Whiplash on “The Dudley Do-right Show.” Canadian Mountie Do-right spent his time riding his horse backwards across the countryside, rescuing the fair damsel in distress Nell Fenwick, whom Snidely frequently lashed to the railroad tracks. • Before he was Elmer Fudd, he was known as Egghead, and was created by Tex Avery with an egg-shaped head on a pudgy body with a bulbous nose. After a little re-designing, Elmer as we know him made his debut opposite Bugs Bunny in the 1940 cartoon feature “A Wild Hare.” • Can you name your favorite Loony Tunes character associated with these catchphrases? The first one is easy: “Be vewy, vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits,” belonged to big game hunter Elmer Fudd. Bugs Bunny frequently asked Fudd, “What’s up, Doc?” How about “You’re desthpicable!” That belonged to a lisping Daffy Duck, while “Sufferin’ succotash!” was the trademark of Sylvester the Cat, created in 1945. Sylvester was continually in pursuit of Tweety Bird, who, “tawt he taw a putty tat,” and Porky Pig wrapped things up with, “Th-th-that’s all, folks!” • When we hear the name Tweety, an innocent, wide-eyed yellow canary comes to mind. But that’s not the way he was first created. In his initial stages, he was pink and named Orson, and was a bad-tempered bird that harassed putty tats. Bob Clampett, the cartoonist who transformed Orson into Tweety in 1942, based his creation on his own unbecoming baby pictures. Clampett was also the creator of Beany and his sea serpent pal Cecil, and contributed to the design of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. • Daffy Duck is actually older than Bugs Bunny. Daffy was first seen in the 1937 cartoon feature “Porky’s Duck Hunt,” while Bugs didn’t come along until 1938’s “Porky’s Hare Hunt.” Bugs didn’t say, “What’s up, Doc?” until the 1940 feature “A Wild Hare.” Sometimes I wake up grumpy; other times I let him sleep.

An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then four-year-old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. Be still, my heart, thought my friend, my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps! Then the child spoke into the instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

I love the outdoors, and because of my passion for hunting and fishing, my family eats a considerable amount of wild game.

• On Aug. 20, 1804, Sgt. Charles Floyd dies three months into the voyage of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, becoming the only member of the Corps of Discovery to die during the journey. Based on the symptoms described by Lewis and Clark, modern physicians have concluded that Floyd was probably suffering from acute appendicitis. • On Aug. 19, 1812, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, known as “Old Ironsides,” catches the British warship Guerri re some 600 miles east of Boston. After considerable maneuvering, the Constitution delivered its first broadside. The British man-ofwar was dismasted and rendered a wreck, while the Constitution escaped with only minimal damage.

• On Aug. 21, 1911, theft of the Mona Lisa is discovered. Investigators and detectives searched for the painting for more than two years without finding any decent leads. In 1913, former employee Vincenzo Perugia was captured attempting to collect a ransom. • On Aug. 22, 1933, the notorious Barker gang robs a Federal Reserve mail truck in Chicago and kills Officer Miles Cunningham. Netting only a bunch of worthless checks, the Barkers soon returned to a crime with which they had more success -- kidnapping. Their first victim, William Hamm, had earned the gang $100,000 in ransom. • On Aug. 16, 1977, Elvis Presley dies in Memphis, Tenn. He was 42. The death of the “King of Rock and Roll” brought legions of mourning fans to Graceland, his mansion in Memphis. Doctors said he died of a heart attack, likely brought on by his addiction to prescription barbiturates. • On Aug. 17, 1987, Rudolf Hess, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s former deputy, is found strangled to death in Spandau Prison in Berlin at the age of 93, apparently the victim of suicide. Hess was the last surviving member of Hitler’s inner circle and the sole prisoner at Spandau since 1966.

TIDBITS AND MUSIC:

CARTOON THEME SONGS

How many times has a catchy little theme song gotten stuck in your head? Here’s a stroll down memory lane, remembering some of those cartoon jingles that we loved to hum. • Many of us know that Spiderman “does whatever a spider can.” But what comes after “spins a web, any size”? It’s “catches thieves just like flies!” His superhuman strength is explained in verse two of the theme song. “Listen, Bud. He’s got radioactive blood.” • The little blue Smurfs administered good advice when they sang to their viewers, “Next time you’re feeling blue, just let a smile begin, happy things will come to you.” • If you didn’t know all the names of the Jetson family, they were given to you in the theme song, “Meet George Jetson, Jane his wife, daughter Judy, his boy Elroy.” • A bear of very little brain lived deep in the Hundred-Acre Wood. This “tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff” was, of course, Winnie the Pooh, that “willy nilly silly old bear.” • He was “one tough Gazookus which hates all Palookas.” He “biffed ‘em and buffed ‘em and always out-roughed ‘em.” Who sang these words during the opening of his program? Popeye, of course! • There were no words to sing along to for “Jonny Quest.” A 20-member jazz band, heavy on the drums, provided the music for this cartoon. • When do you need to “step aside or you might end up in a heap”? That would be “when you’re on a highway and the Roadrunner goes ‘Beep! Beep!’” • “He always says ‘Hello’ and he’s really glad to meetcha. The children all love him so.” Who is he? He’s Casper the Friendly Ghost, created in the late 1930s and hitting the screen in 1950. • He was “strong as he can be.” But he frequently forgot to “watch out for that tree.” He was George of the Jungle, a not-so-bright, loinclothclad parody of Tarzan. The program aired for only 17 episodes in 1967. • Words spoken over the final movement of Rossini’s “William Tell Overture” provided the opening for the “Lone Ranger” series. The animated version of the 1930s radio program aired from 1966 to 1968. “Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!” was the cry of this “daring and resourceful masked rider of the Plains” who “led the fight for law and order in the early West” along with his fearless Indian friend Tonto. • The “world’s most fearsome fighting team” were “really hip” according to the theme song. These green “heroes in a half-shell” were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, named after four Renaissance artists. They started battling crime from their home in the storm sewers of New York City in 1987. • How did that modern Stone Age family, the Flintstones, ride with the family down the street? It was “through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet!” • Josie and the Pussycats had “no time for purrs and pats” as they donned their “long tails and ears for hats.” This all-girl pop music group toured the word in their leopard-print leotards, encountering all sorts of adventures with miscellaneous villains. Each episode featured a Pussycats song played during the girls’ various chase scenes. One of life's mysteries is how a two-pound box of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.

Greg Biffle’s year to date has been disappointing because he hasn’t yet won a race, but in the Ford camp, there’s plenty of disappointment to go around. Twenty races into a 36-race season, no Ford driver has won. Biffle’s third-place finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Brickyard 400 left him and others with a bit of optimism for the future. It was his best finish of the season, surpassing a fourth at Bristol in the season’s fifth race. Ford’s new engine, the FR9, is now fully implemented, and that, in Biffle’s eyes, is another encouraging sign. “I’m really proud of the guys and this engine program,” he said. “This engine ran really good today, but I want to win one of these things. We had the fastest car, but the fastest car doesn’t always win. We’ve just got to take some chances to win some of these races, I guess.” Noting that stock-car racing has rewarded aggressiveness more than in past years, Biffle cited the impact of the current chassis design. “These cars inherently take a little more abuse than the old car did,” he said. “This thing is built, I don’t want to say like a battleship, but it’s built a little tougher than the old car. The old car, if you got in the fence a little bit and scraped it up, you had problems. ... This car can take a little bit more and keep going.” Biffle, 40, is a native of Vancouver, Wash. He debuted at NASCAR’s highest level in 2002 with a 13th-place finish at what is now Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. The first of 14 victories occurred on July 5, 2003, at Daytona. Only Biffle and Johnny Benson have won championships in what are now known as the Camping World Truck and Nationwide series. Biffle was the Truck titlist in 2000 and the Nationwide champ in 2002. Biffle also is a former Raybestos Rookie of the Year in both support series. In 2003, he finished second in the (now) Sprint Cup rookie standings to the driver who won the Brickyard 400, Jamie McMurray. In 2005, Biffle finished second to Tony Stewart in the Cup standings, and in 2008, he finished third. At present, Biffle stands 11th in the Cup point standings. Entering the final six regular-season races, he is 78 points ahead of 13th place. Only the top 12 make the series’ championship-determining Chase for the Sprint Cup.

THE FLINTSTONES Yabba-dabba-doo! This week, Tidbits visits the town of Bedrock, and a “page right out of history”! • There were 166 episodes of everybody’s favorite modern Stone Age family, the Flintstones. The names of the Flagstones and the Gladstones were considered before the family name was settled upon prior to its 1960 premiere. • The cartoon was based on a popular 1950s series, “The Honeymooners,” with Fred modeled after Ralph Kramden and the good-natured pal Barney Rubble after Ed Norton. The two friends both worked at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company Quarry. They were also faithful members of the Loyal Order of Water Buffalos Lodge. One episode of the series featured Wilma and Betty, curious about the lodge’s activities, wearing disguises in an attempt to join the lodge. To gain entry, they were required to speak the secret passwords, “Ack Acka Dak! Dak Daka Ack!” Do you remember the name of the Grand Poobah of the Water Buffalos? Diehard fans will recall it was Sam Slagheap. • Alan Reed, the voice of Fred, came up with the trademark phrase “Yabba-dabba-doo.” Reed claimed that it was borrowed from the Brylcreem commercial slogan, “A little dab’ll do ya.” This wasn’t Reed’s first shot in show business. He had already starred opposite Marlon Brando in “Viva Zapata!,” a 1952 biographical film about a Mexican revolutionary. • Mel Blanc was the voice behind Barney, and Jean Vander Pyl spoke all of Wilma’s lines. • Family pets included the Flintstones’ pet dinosaur, Dino, (voiced by Mel Blanc), and the seldom seen saber-toothed Baby Puss. The Rubbles owned a “Hopparoo” appropriately named Hoppy. • Before she was Betty Rubble, she was Betty Jean McBricker. Wilmas’s maiden name was Slaghoople. • In 1962, Fred and Wilma welcomed their bundle of joy, Pebbles. Although originally slated to be a boy, the producers recognized that a girl might trigger a merchandise line. Sure enough, the Ideal Toy Company introduced both a 12-inch and a 16-inch Baby Pebbles doll shortly afterward. During the fourth season, an abandoned baby was dropped on the doorstep of Barney and Betty Rubble, and Bamm-Bamm became the playmate of Pebbles Flintstone. • This series generated the production of three breakfast cereals, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles and Dino Pebbles. Although Dino Pebbles were discontinued, they later reappeared as Marshmallow Mania Pebbles. Still alive and well is the “Flintstones Complete” line of children’s multivitamins. • Fred was an accomplished bowler who went to great lengths to improve this skill, even taking ballet lessons on the sly. This earned him the nickname of Twinkle Toes from his bowling team. • Wilma used many “modern” appliances, such as a baby woolly mastodon for a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine that consisted of a pelican’s beak full of soapy water. The family’s shower was an adult woolly mammoth spraying water with its trunk. • “The Flintstones” was initially sponsored by Winston cigarettes, and Fred and Barney could even be seen smoking them at the end of the program. However, after Pebbles was born, the network made the switch to Motorola and Welch’s grape juice.

Downsizing

Instead of downsizing, maybe we should call it “right sizing.” For many seniors, that right size is a smaller place. And that means getting rid of some belongings that just won’t fit. No matter what you call it, moving can be difficult. There is help, however. If downsizing involves selling your current property, consider using an expert. A Seniors Real Estate Specialist is an agent who has passed special course work and training. To locate one in your area, call a local broker. If you don’t need to sell or buy a property and only need help with the actual moving process, consider using a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist. These are people who help with the planning and moving of those who are age 55 and older. They will be able to arrange for packing, moving, sorting, organizing, antiques evaluations and more. Call 1-800-519-7316 for more information. Do you really know what you have in terms of value? Have multiple appraisers come out and make offers on items you either don’t want to take with you or haven’t decided on. Perhaps learning that certain antiques could net you hundreds or thousands of dollars can help you decide. There is a 55-page book by Barbara H. Morris called “Moving for Seniors,” a workbook that could be very helpful. It costs $15 but could be a real sanity saver. It’s available at www.movingforseniors.com, or at Amazon.com for around $10. If you fear you’re going to be “helped” in your move by some grabby, uncaring people, consider getting this book, too: “Don’t Toss My Memories in the Trash -- A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Seniors Downsize, Organize, and Move,” by Vickie Dellaquila. The book also is around $10. Read the reviews on Amazon.com to see if you think the books will help you.

After months of searching, you and your roommates have finally found a house to rent. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, the house's interior has been updated with fresh paint. The color of choice, of course, is white, and much to your chagrin, the owner will not allow you to repaint. White it is, but not to worry. You can add in pops of color to really jazz up the place. One of the first things that might come to mind is buying a load of colorful furniture. Beware of this, though. Whatever pieces you invest in now will most certainly go with you to your next place where you might be able to paint the walls. Opt for nice neutral pieces instead that will work with any décor in the coming years. You've got white walls and neutral furniture, so where does the color come in? One of the easiest, most inexpensive ways is through your selection of fabric and textiles. Like the color red? Toss some red pillows onto your caramel suede sofa and a red throw on your chocolate recliner. Add a bright red rug underfoot, and voila, you've got instant color. Got some chairs that have seen better days? Sew a slipcover for them, or better yet, reupholster them with colorful fabric. Need more artwork? Drape a canvas with a favorite fabric, tack it in place and presto, you have instant color on your walls. Another way to punch up your space is to use colorful accessories. Cut some flowers from your garden and put them into a colorful vase on your coffee table, or clip some branches and stack them in the umbrella stand by your front door. To stay on budget, look for colorful accessories at flea markets and discount stores. Spray-paint anything you don't like and purchase artwork from budding artists or frame colorful wallpaper scraps. For even more color, paint all of your plain artwork frames. Don't overlook lighting in your quest for color. Polish tarnished brass fixtures. Change out white lampshades for more colorful ones. Replace old fan globes with bright, stylish models. Add some brightly colored pull chains to plain metal lamps. By limiting color to your fabrics, textiles, accessories and lighting, you can change your color palette fairly easily and inexpensively whenever you want. Tired of red? Switch to a cool shade of blue or yellow in your fabrics, textiles, accessories and lighting components.

• If you’re a sailor you’re probably familiar with the hazards of being out on the water: high seas, storms, hidden reefs. You probably wouldn’t count whales among the dangers, but you’d be wrong. It seems that on a recent day sail out of Table Bay Harbor in South Africa, a couple on a 30-foot sailboat were whale-watching when one got too close for comfort. A 40-ton whale they had been viewing breached right next to the boat and landed on the deck, breaking off the mast and then thrashing around before sliding back into the water. The whale lost some skin and blubber, but was otherwise unharmed; the couple were lucky to still have a seaworthy craft and made it safely back to the harbor. • Statistics show that the average 5-year-old boy today weighs about 10 percent more and the average 5-yearold girl about 8 percent more than children of the same age in the 1980s. • Those who study such things say that the word “daisy” started out as “day’s eye” and was shortened over the years. Similarly, “God be with you” became “goodbye” and “whole be thou” became “hello.” *** Thought for the Day: “To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.” -- Peter McWilliams
