Some friends and I were watching HISMV and there's a line we can't
understand and would like to settle an argument about it.  The line is
from What's-His-Name, as he's about to leave Plucky et al.  He cries,
"Die, piggy ----!"  The reason I left the blank is my friends and I
can't agree on whether he says "Die, piggy swine!" or "Die, piggy
slime!"  I think it's swine, but I"m severely out-voted.  I was
wondering if any of you guys might be In the KNow and could help me
out here.  Which is the correct version?  Thanks.

... Now, it's personal!

 EW> What does the J stand for in Hamton J. Pig?

I don't know what it stands for, but I think it's interesting that the
letter J seems to be a cartoon standard for middle names--Rocky J.
Squirrel, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Homer J. Simpson, his son Bartholomew
J. Simpson......I'm sure the list goes on and on.

     The original headline (I don't know if it was correct in

headline in Variety many years ago, and translates as:

Hicks Nix Stick's Pics ->

	Unfortunately, they don't make stuffed anvils. :-)   (I was truly

	Anvils or not, my letters went out last week.  Here's hoping that

This is a parody of Babs' (learned the proper place for the "'" in English today!) "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" song from the Tiny Toons SIng tape. The folks over on PRODIGY loved it, and it must be decent to get by the censors.

I was out; making fun of a guy;
But he wouldn't hit me so I had to ask why;
He said "you know you just don't hit girls a bunch.";
But girls, just wanna be punched, oh girls just wanna be punched.

I was upset, 'cause I missed my chance;
TO show off my really neat, great boxing dance;
I guess I'll have to go find other hunks;
'Cause girls, just wanna be punched... oh Girls just wanna be punched.

<Insert crappy chorus here>

I was mad, mad as a fart (needed a rhyme)
So I went out..and learned martial arts;
Guess I never should have used it on them drunks;
Now I, DON'T wanna be punched.. now I don't wanna be punched.

Out of the hospital, with a bruise on my head;
My mama said "Babs when we get home your gonna be dead."
WHo really cares that my bodies in wrecks;
(Oh heck, I forgot the last line.. use imagination so nobody can critize me.)

(Remembered from some long-ago teen magazine tidbit...)

When Michael J. Fox went to Hollywood, his name was Michael Andrew
Fox.  Of course, he intended to use Michael Fox as his trade name.
When he went to register with the Screen Actor's Guild, he was told
that the name was "unavailable" and that he would have to find
something else.  After discarding Andrew Fox (was too British for the
Edmonton, Alberta lad), he considered Michael A. Fox.  He threw that
out as "self-promoting"--he didn't consider himself "hunk"
material!

  No offense or anything, Jenny. Any new TTA news is welcome. But given a

2) TTA hand-held LCD game.

And Marc sent me some mail, too...Hmm, shall all we toonsters go out,
raid our local toy/grocery/drug stores, looking for TTA merchandise,
and come back here with a full report?  Also, as something Marc said
to me in his letter, has anyone contacted WB directly and asked WHAT
COMPANIES have marketing rights, and what the addresses of those
companies are, so we can contact them and find out ALL the TTA

     Actually, I still haven't seen it yet. HISMV didn't appear in stores in 
Campbellton, New Brunswick (yes, as a matter of fact, I DID crawl out from 
under a rock. *grin* ). At least, I've never noticed.
     But I HAVE noticed the day before I came back to university that my 
local video store has it. I'll watch it this coming February when I have access
to a VCR again. (sigh)
     I'm probably the very last one, though. Figures.

My best guess is that it stands for the same thing as Bart J. Simpson and
Homer J. Simpson. Theirs is in homage to Rocket J. Squirrel and 
Bullwinkle J. Moose. Rocky and Bullwinkles are from their creator, whose

one of the more popular lists and it seems that they are all chummy and 
friendly (just like us).  After an unsuccessful attempt to get a rec.
group created, someone made an alt. group for them.  But discussion 
continues on the mailing list, and it seems that the mlist has better 
discussion than the newsgroup.  Which in my experience is always
the case.

In general it is not true that a particular topic has both a mailing list 
and a newsgroup associated with it.  There is no Tiny Toons mailing list,
for example.

Has anyone got a spare Gogo Dodo figure that came with the McDonald's Happy
Meal a few months back?  I'd really really like one, and since the McDs
here didn't have them...
