WOSSAMOTTA U

By

I don't know how many readers remember the Rocky and Bullwinkle show and/or that Bullwinkle's college alma mater  Wossamotta University but it may have been my favorite as a kid. While the show was a lot of fun for kids it was laden with adult jokes as well as biting political messages during "the Cold War".

Back to the cartoon at the top of the blog page.

I'm sure most of us can think of an incident in our lives that relate to the Bee's question: "Why does everyone try to get away from me as quickly as possible?".

Maybe Dr. John can answer that question with his song:

I'd say we must have either been in the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the wrong time.

I can't think of a Real Estate situation in my life this applied to but I do remember 50 years back when I went to a few parties where I was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning, Bob... growing up. my tv time was very limited by my mother. So I have no reference to Rocky and Bulwinkle... plus I think their hay day was after I would have watched such shows in the first place.

I know I was a kid Nina Hollander, Broker but not so much a young kid. I think the silliness and the not so hidden adult jokes kept me watching for more than my childhood years.

This has nothing to do with the message of the post but it popped into my mind. I saw Dr. John, Willie Nelson and B.B. King at an outdoor concert somewhere around 1992/94. Fun memory.

I can easily imagine that being a fun concert Kat Palmiotti as I still have LP's of each of them.

Good morning Bob. I was never a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle but do remember a few zinger comments meant more for adults. As for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, been there, done that. Enjoy your day.

Although some may not admit it Wayne Martin I think everyone has been in the wrong place at the wrong time. 😉

Fun post, Bob! I definitely remember Rocky and Bullwinkle, and we have all certainly had our fair share of those "wrong place, wrong time" moments over the years. Thanks for the Wednesday morning smile and for sharing Timmothy's comic!
