Classic Cartoon Showcase: Bon Bon Parade
In this humorous and very, very surreal classic, a hungry little boy browsing a candy shop is granted a wish to visit Candyland, by which he takes part in the overly-madcap Bon Bon Parade! Some of this episode's highlights include a fly licking every candy in the shop(Ewwww, NASTY! Does the store owner know about this?!), and a trio of Three Stooges-esque Cupids in a Valentine's Day display. Please enjoy!

Life's a Circus for Whopper
Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction of mine, which is based on this Tom and Jerry cartoon, and is named after this Tom and Jerry cartoon. In this story, Whopper is chased around a local circus by the dogcatcher Dabney Nabbit, until he meets a kindly elephant named Jumbo, and helps remove a tack from her foot. Jumbo is duly grateful for this, and in return for Whopper's kindness, protects him from the ever persistant Nabbit. Please enjoy!
BTW, here is a picture of Jumbo. She's a very gentle sort, but when her friends are in danger, she won't back down for a second!Saturday, October 5, 2013
Classic Cartoon Showcase: Shirt Tales in Nearsighted Bear and Magical Musical Caper
In the first half of this classic episode, the cuddly little heroes are given tickets to the Golden Brothers' Circus, which includes Cosmo the famous performing bear(No relation). Cosmo is a bit nearsighted, but is hesitant to wear his glasses, for fear that he'll look like a nerd; unfortunately, this spells trouble for his performance. Can the Shirt Tales convince Cosmo to wear his glasses before his act goes south?
In the second half, a criminal named the hand(So called because his face has never been seen) has been robbing the ticket booths of several concerts, including that of Rick's fav band the Patriots! Can the furry little superguys stop this faceless fiend before it's too late? Please enjoy!

Joke of the Week #27
A circus came to a small town one day. This was a very high-quality circus that really had it all: acrobats, jugglers, clowns, fire eaters, sword swallowers, horseback riders, human cannonballs, strongmen, and all sorts of animals, such as lions, elephants, leopards, tigers, dancing bears, performing seals, and little trained poodles. Everyone in town filed into the giant red and yellow striped tent at a quarter to noon; a spotlight fell on the center ring, and a lone clown strolled out.
"What's 3 times 3 times 4 minus 7 divided by 8 to the ninth power?" he asks.
A hush suddenly falls over the crowd. No one there was particularly good at math.
"I'm sorry," says the clown. "But this show can't go on." and he leaves, with the other circus performers following closely behind.

Why couldn't the clown continue?
There were three rings, but nobody answered.
