España 6/02/10 (part 2)

In-flight entertainment included "Uncle Donald’s Ants" and that Pluto cartoon where the father and son coyote try to steal sheep ("Pluto, Sheep Dog"). I love that 1940s view of the southwest. The thought of sleeping outdoors in the wide open desert with only a Navajo blanket sounds a lot more breathable than a window seat next to two humid Pakistani businessmen. Not complaining, though. This is fun.

Now I'm writing sloppy... just flecked my pillow with pen ink. Sorry Luftwaffe, err... Lufthansa.

So, blast from the past, they just played an episode of "Goof Troop". I kid you not, I remember the episode, too. So many old memories leak out of me now; memories without reason or rhyme. Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers (I was Dale, Ed was Chip). Darkwing Duck. TaleSpin.
I think Peg Pete might have come from the same neighborhood as the Boggs in "Edward Scissorhands". She was always too nice for Pete Sr.; what did she see in him? Goofy was a better guy, a stand-up dude -- just like Barney Rubble, Ed Norton, Al Borland, and any number of second-bananas from sitcom history. And how come Fred and Betty’s eyes, and Wilma and Barney’s eyes matched, huh? That always bothered me as a kid. Oh, and the answer is Betty.
