BETTY BOOP TIDBITS

While cartoons were tame compared to her earlier appearances,

their self-conscious wholesomeness was aimed at more of a

juvenile audience, which contributed to the decline of the series.

Much of this decline was also due to the lessening of Betty’s role

in the cartoons in favor of her co-stars. This was a similar problem

experienced during the same period with Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse,

who was becoming eclipsed by the popularity of his co-stars

Donald Duck and Goofy, not to mention Fleischer’s biggest success, Popeye.

 

     

 

This little Australian Betty Boop petting a Koala Bear was submitted

by Wanda Landers, who has been Boopin’ for only about a year.  Great Work, Wanda.

The reason so many Texas cowboys went north and stayed there

was because they were tired of cornbread and sowbelly.

Recipe for Cowboy Coffee

Take two pounds of Arbuckle’s coffee, put in enough water to

if the hoss shoe sinks, she ain’t ready.

• 1/2 C. sugar
• 1/2 C. brown sugar
• 1/4 C. water

                  Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It’s a lot cheaper

than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth.

It’s also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but

didn’t like when you tried it in your hair…

OTHER:
American Icon:
Wayne rose beyond the typical recognition for a famous actor

to that of an enduring icon who symbolized and communicated

American values and ideals. By the middle of his career,

Wayne had developed a larger-than-life image, and as his career

progressed, he selected roles that would not compromise

his off-screen image.

 

John Wayne received the two highest civilian decorations

awarded by the United States government.
1)Congressional Gold Medal 1979
2)Presidential Medal of Freedom 1980

 

Various public locations have been named in memory of John Wayne.

They include John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, where

his nine-foot bronze statue graces the entrance; the John Wayne Marina

near Sequim, Washington; John Wayne Elementary School (P.S. 380)

in Brooklyn, NY, which boasts a 38-foot mosaic mural commission by

New York artist Knox Martin entitled "John Wayne and the American Frontier";

and a 100-plus-mile trail named the "John Wayne Pioneer Trail" in

Washington state’s Iron Horse State Park.  A larger than life-size bronze

statue of Wayne atop a horse was erected at

the corner of La Cienega Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard in

Beverly Hills, California

 

On December 5, 2007, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

and First Lady Maria Shriver inducted Wayne into the California

Hall of Fame, located at The California Museum for History,

Women and the Arts.

A Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a
remote mountainous pasture when suddenly a brand-new
BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

 
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci
Shoes, Ray Ban, Sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the
window and asks the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how

many cows and calves you have in your herd,

Will you give me a calf?"

 
The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie,
Then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly
Answers, "Sure, why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell
notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR
V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet,

where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation System to get

an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to
another NASA satellite that scans the area in an
ultra-high-resolution photo.

 
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe
Photoshop and exports it to an image processing
Facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives

an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been

processed and the data stored.

 
He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC
Connected Excel Spreadsheet with email on his
Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a Response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page
report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet
Printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says,

 

"You Have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my
calves," says the cowboy.

 
He watches the young man select one of the animals
And looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into
The trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I
Can tell you exactly what your business is, will you
Give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then
Says, "Okay, why not?"

You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says
The cowboy.

 
"Wow! That’s correct," says the yuppie, "but how
Did you guess that?"

 
"No guessing was required." answered the cowboy.
"You showed up here even though nobody called you; you
want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question

I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter

than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows…

this is a herd of sheep. Now, give me back my dog!
