   #7 - Bullwinkle's Corner - Taffy

   S1:E331/1/1960

   Bullwinkle recites the poem "Taffy." However, in the telling of the story, Boris (in the role of Taffy) begins to "bend and ad-lib" his parts. For example, instead of stealing "a piece of beef," Taffy steals a whole cow. Bullwinkle gets upset as the poem is changed, and he thinks that he's got Boris with the last line of the poem. ("I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed. I took a marrow bone and hit him on the head.") However, upon arriving, Boris takes the marrow bone and hits Bullwinkle in the head, giving the story an unhappy ending, much to Boris' delight.

    S1:E401/8/1960

    From Frostbite Falls, it's across a couple of the Great Lakes and portage through downtown Chicago, as the Great Canoe and Leaky Retrofitted Airplane Race is on! It's stroke-stroke-stroke and bail-bail-bail as the pursuit continues down ever more tiny waterways! And finally on one foggy evening, as they approach Washington, D.C., the two competing vessels are so close that—stroke-bail, bail-stroke—their echoes are even writing their own dialogue! But our heroes, prompted by some dastardly sign rewriting, take the wrong turn, heading toward the hideously whirling blade of a sawmill just ahead. Will it be Two for the Ripsaw, or, is it Good-bye, Mister Chips?
