It’s Acme Pumpkin Season

Time brings us “The 9 Rules of Every Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Cartoon“.

The Looney Tunes universe had boundaries as severe as an Acme anvil to the head.

A list of rules for the creators of the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons acme_pumpkin_wile_e_coyotehas been circulating online and the instructions explain why every episode was almost exactly the same.

Rules for the show include a restriction on dialogue (save for “Beep-beep!”), setting (“All action must be confined to wile_e_coyotes_9_rulesthe natural environment of the two characters — the Southwest American desert”) and outcomes (“The coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures”). There’s even an instruction on who the real enemy of Wile E. is: “gravity.”

Live At The Fillmoore

live_fillmore_yardbirds_the_doorsWhat a choice!  Do you go to the show on Tuesday and see the Yardbirds, or wait until Saturday and see the Doors?

“Underground psychedelic scenes blossomed all over the West Coast, and indeed the world, in 1966 and 1967, but Bill Graham’s Fillmore Auditorium set the standard and begat an empire. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Fillmore was that it not only featured the best of San Francisco and American rock bands, but up and coming English bands as well. Of course, British bands had been touring America behind The Beatles since the so-called British Invasion, but the Fillmore locked up the hippest and coolest English bands as well as the American ones, and that set it apart from all its competitors.”

The Yardbirds – “For Your Love”

The Doors – “Light My Fire”

Free Range Kids – ’80’s Style

whiners_free_range_kidIf you think being a “Free Range” kid was good in the ’80’s, you shoulda been around in the ’50’s and ’60’s.

There were no bicycle helmets or car seatbelts.  You were packed off to school with a rifle on your back and Twinkies in your lunchbox.  And, of course, the only padding under the school steel playground equipment was asphalt.
