"Babsie on Board" is almost finished.  At least, we're at the
point where no new material can be added (and some existing
material will have to be cut).  Until I do this, and put the
script in a more standard format, I don't want to repost it to
the net.  I've been incredibly busy lately, and I'll be out of
town all next week, so a repost will be a lot later than I had
hoped.


BUT, if you are feeling particularly creative, start working on
"Buster's Guide to Drivers Ed", our next script!  The first post
will set the stage for the entire script--think of the power!  :-)

Phil,
Good idea regarding Elmyra being butt-like.  But here's a better idea for
the derivation of her last name.  Think of DUFF pronounced backwards...
then think of Elmyra's toon mentor....  (Light bulb pops over someone's
head) :-) :-)

For Soundwave, Welker used his "Dr. Claw" voice (from "Inspector Gadget").
The voice was modified in a way not too different from the way the other

As my first post to this wunnerful group, I figgered I'd put in my 100
samolians <sp?> worth on the subject of the "Driving School" script.

1)  Re: the driving simulators.  They are, of course, ACME brand, right?  When
someone (Plucky, of course) crashes on the simulator, it bursts into flames and
explodes. 
PLUCKY (toasted): "Gee.  How realistic." <smoky cough>

2)  Elmer as instructor -- just to hear him say "pawawwel pawk" (that's
"parallel park" for those of you that don't speak Fudd. 8*)

3)  Something, I'm not quite sure what at this point, involving Hamton and the
drive-thru window at Weenie Burger.

4)  Shirley sitting in her usual lotus position, a foot above the driver's
seat, willing the car into action by telpathy.  ("Oh waow, like, turn left and
some junk.")

5) The car is equipped with an air bag, which doesn't go off despite all sorts
of mayhem out on the road. When Buster pulls the car back into the parking lot,
though, he pulls up so that the front tires just barely bump into the curb.
*This* triggers the air bag, which proceeds to *fill* the car.

6)  Something, and again I can't get a specific idea, but some sort of cameo by
Lee Iacocca.

Whadda ya say, Toonsters?

She also had a dress on, and she had the "muzzle line" from her nose to her
mouth, like Babs has.  Suffice it to say that, probably because this was an
early episode (one way or another), the characters were all a bit unusual,
a bit unlike the way they appear in other episodes.

But thanks for mentioning it;  I'll look for that next time.

     I AM acting my age.  There is nothing to be ashamed of in saying that
     we enjoy Tiny Toon Adventures.  At its best, this is one of the best-
     written shows on TV.  It's funny, it's intelligent, it makes fun of
     all the right people, it reminds us of the Warner Bros. cartoons
     that we all grew up with and loved - and that we STILL love.  Compare
     even the worse episode of Tiny Toons to the idiotic sitcoms that
     the major networks show on prime-time TV, and you'll see that
     at least the people who write Tiny Toons know how to make us laugh!

     And then there's the quality of the animation.  A LOT of work goes
     into this show, and we appreciate it when people take so much time
     and effort to entertain us.  When I first heard about Tiny Toon
     Adventures, I was afraid that the writers and animators would ruin
     the show and give us something so bad that we would not be able to
     stand watching it.  Did you ever see Saturday cartoons called
     "Flintstone Kids?"  Or "Popeye And Son?"  Or "Pink Panther And
     Sons?"  Tiny Toon Adventures could have been like THAT - but it
     turned out to be genuinely funny.

     I'm 25 years old and I'm a big Tiny Toons fan.  I also love
     Ren & Stimpy, and I like the Batman cartoon series.

     (I'm not impressed with Tom & Kerry Kids.)

I don't know about everyone else, but this week's PDS epsidoe, "Kon Ducky"
was not very good in my estimation.  Some of the 70's references were
humorous (and brought back a flood of memories), but all in all, a
big disappointment.

Some bright spots though...

	1)  Tour guide--
	1)  Tour guide--"And to your left, we have a naked pig."
	2)  The WB water tower inscription--"WB:  After we booted out Columbia"
	3)  Director Plucky's cap--"1941" 
	4)  Closing Credits--"ABBA spelled backwards, is ABBA"

Question:  Oone of Plucky's caps said "Prop 13".  I didn't find the
humor.  Could someone please enlighten me and tell me if it was
an inside joke?  I'm not asking like that 11 year old...I'm asking out
of 1) curiosity and 2) ignorance :)

Hmm...if she did, it must have been a mistake.  Everywhere else I've seen Fifi,
she's only had the one bow, usually over the right ear.

Then again, knowing Fifi, she probably changes styles at the drop of a hat.  :)
