Aiee

Modem got fried by the storm last night. It also got water in my foyer. All this in a ten-minute window. Sheesh. The biggest inconvenience, though, was simply dealing with AT&T. SBC at least had their shit together. AT&T is just shit.

So, how's your tech day going?

What's Up, Doc?

The Warner Bros. cartoon "A Wild Hare", directed by Tex Avery, was released today in 1940. This was the first meeting of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny, and in many ways it was really the first Bugs cartoon.

We could spend all week listing favorite Warner Bros. cartoons, so let's refine it just a bit: What are some of your favorite lines, or exchanges? (We will assume that the entire canon of "Rabbit Season! Duck Season!" is in there, to save space.) I could go on for hours myself; let's try five six seven:

• "Yoiks! And away! [WHOM] ... Yoiks! And away! [WHOM] ... yoiks [WHOM] yoiks [WHOM] yoi[WHOM] yoik[WHOM]...."
• "... No, I'd better not look. I just might be in there."
• "I may be a craven little coward... but I'm a greeeeeeeedy craven little coward!"
• "Dere! You're nice and clean! Although your face... looks... like it... may have... gone through... a... ma... chine."
• "Oh, Bwunhiwda, you'we so wovewy!" "Yes, I know it! I can't help it!" "Oh, Bwunhiwda, be-he my wuuuuv!"
• "'Wile E. Coyote: Super Genius'. I like the way that rolls out. 'Wile E. Coyote: Super Genius'!
• "The Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator! That creature has stolen the Space Modulator! Delays, delays!"
