Chongo may not be a good farmer but as a pitchman, he might be the best. Forget Fitz or BILLY MIERS, Chongo could sell an Eskimo a condo in Florida. So easy even Chongo can do it! My view of other drivers would make him a good pitchman for car insurance too.

Also who better to dig up all the money business on K street than Chongo. As a distant relative of the Bush family he even has an inside look at the power of assasination behind certain political families.




Amos while you rarely attribute who your posts are directed towards you may not know that my affection toward the writers behind names like Ebbie, Stilly and Bee are as large as a warm setting sun.

Cartoon characters that shape our childhood are more important than some of our teachers. Seeing a beagel dance with joy or Charlie Brown mope in self doubt might still effect you viserally.

Imprinted characters stay with us all life long. My fav is Wile.
Yep, Wile E Coyote may be most representative of the human condition by chasing after the next technological solution but always meets failure because of poor aim while destroying the enviorment and himself with schemes that are a dollar short and a second late.

As for Porky Pig, if he had only been a smart heart throb of an elegant creature, a lot of stuttering kids would have had an easier time handling mean spirited teasing. Its too bad that animal cartoon characters chosen were prone to derision like pigs and skunks.
But how can you depise a sponge, starfish, crab or squid. Their character choices were truly genius. Once you buy into them even an underwater squirrel or an underwater campfire flow without effort. Jack Nicholson was asked about SpongeBob and he said "when watching the grand kids I found that Spongebob was the only cartoon I could stomach. For Jack that is a great compliment.
