Yeh, that's the one!

I don't watch the stuff, but my kids did. I'd be reading or working in the same room with them (or even being in a few rooms down the hall) when all of a sudden Foghorn Leghorn would put a beating on some poor lil ol schmo for the sole purpose of "educating him/her".

And that deep commanding voice was so intrusive that I couldn't help but look up at the TV.

What was interesting was that Leghorn was so self-assured in his actions and the tone of voice so pervasive, that he didn't have the tiniest shred of self-doubt that a beating may not be the best way to teach something.

Needless to say, my children and I had a number of discussions over the next few weeks as as to the different styles of communicating an idea and the effectiveness of each in the long and short term.

186,000 miles per second is not just a good idea,
It's the law.

And how did you have these 'discussions' with them? I bet you tied them to the chair and lectured to them, right?

Nope. Did the old Foghorn Leghorn thing! Like it is for their own good, right?

Just kidding!

Dogscoff's gun tracks and fires...

...and a little flag pops out and says &#1 POP! &#1

And a hysterically laughing Taz whirlwind fades into the distance...

&#1 POP! &#1!!

&#1 POP! &#1!?!?!?

An angry tbontob stalks up to Dogscoff and demands "You held us here under threat of a pop-gun to listen to this drivel?"

But then he notices Dogscoff's condition is much, much worse. He is absolutely comatose except for the twitching of his right arm, the spittle dribbling down his chin and his counter-rotating vacant eyes.

Tbontob realizes nobody is home and sadly turns away...
