IT’S A mad, mad world out there as Bradley of Boort makes clear in this week’s Treemendous Sign. And we here at OTF know that Bradley is certainly not in the catgeory of people he’s referenced.
DID remind of that classic 1960s comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. All about Smiler Grogan, a recently released convict, crashes his car on California State Route 39. With his dying breath, Grogan tells a group of motorists who stopped to help him about $350,000 buried in Santa Rosita State Park under “a big W”. Failing to negotiate a satisfactory way to split the money, the four cars begin a mad dash to the park.
WHILE we prepare to devour some chocolate for Easter (preceded of course by Pat’s famous hot cross buns, did you know there was a Loony Tunes Easter-theme movie in 1947 when the famous Bugs, Elmer and company strode the screen.
THE plot, we’re told: While reading How to Multiply, Bugs overhears moaning that turns out to be a depressed Easter Bunny, who tricks Bugs into filling in for him (a trick the Easter Bunny plays on unsuspecting rabbits every year).
THANK goodness Bugs kept bouncing along and still makes us smile in countless reruns.
