I watched a tv program on this fine evening that covered all of the aforementioned topics plus some. \u00a0It was just an hour long program but it covered hot button topics of current times. \u00a0This show identified issues of racism, bullying, tolerance of others and finding a place for each and every soul. \u00a0The current year is 2018 but this tv show was made in 1964.<\/p>\n
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.<\/p>\n
Yes, it is one of the most popular stories of all-time. \u00a0We, here in paradise, set our family clock around watching this little piece of clay-mation artistry. \u00a0Do the graphics stand up to the test of time? \u00a0Heck YES!!! \u00a0 How?<\/p>\n
I’ll tell you how. \u00a0I can look at modern video games that Duke plays. \u00a0I can hardly tell if he is watching a movie or playing a game. \u00a0The graphics are cool but\u2026.is it a game. \u00a0But, if you show me a Galaga, Super Tecmo Bowl, Duck Hunt or Mike Tyson’s Super Punch Out video games, \u00a0DUDE! those old school graphics take me back to a happy place. \u00a0And yet, they still hold up.<\/p>\n
Much like a future movie to be released in 2019. \u00a0Some things do NOT need to be remade. \u00a0The Lion King does not need to be updated. \u00a0It was dang neart perfect the first time. \u00a0It was such a well made movie that parts of that movie are part of our current culture. \u00a0The hyenas, Poomba & Timon, Rafiki, Simba and of course, Mufasa. \u00a0 OOooohhhh, say it again. \u00a0 Mufasa. \u00a0U can bet that I don’t pay to watch the new version. \u00a0No need.<\/p>\n
Watch Rudolph and think about the story lines. \u00a0He and Hermie the Elf are bullied. \u00a0Nobody wants a nose with color. \u00a0And nobody wants a dentist in the vicinity. \u00a0Later, because of their skill set(s), others become tolerant of them and even allow them to bring the toys from Misfit Island. \u00a0Much like another show about tolerance & racism—“…but we dont want the Irish!” \u00a0Then, they too digressed and displayed tolerance for others, “Oh, prairie $h!t. \u00a0Everybody.”<\/p>\n
Pop quiz time.<\/p>\n
What do bumbles do? \u00a0 \u00a0 They bounce.<\/p>\n
Do reindeer have eyelashes? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Clarice dang sure does.<\/p>\n
How does Yukon Cornelius’s sled keep from going in circles? \u00a0I mean, all the short legged dogs are on one side while bigger dogs on the other side. \u00a0IDK?!<\/p>\n
What does the squirt gun squirt on the Island of Misfit Toys? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Jelly<\/p>\n
What dinner do Bumbles prefer over venison? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pork. \u00a0 Well, I guess, at least we know that the Bumble wasn’t Jewish, Muslim or 7th Day Adventist. \u00a0What does that mean? \u00a0Nothing. \u00a0Because he didn’t have no teeth, I’m guessing he liked soup. \u00a0That is soup with bacon in it.<\/p>\n
If this show was made today, one of the deer would have to be of Asian decent, another of Hispanic heritage, Burl Ives would have an Indian dialect (dot not feather) and Hermie would probably be gay. \u00a0Wait? \u00a0What? \u00a0I already thought he was. \u00a0Well, he would at least be openly gay in today’s remake. \u00a0Plus, ol’ Donner wouldn’t have been able to tell Mrs. Donner that she needed to stay at home.<\/p>\n
Here’s the other thing that I noticed from tonights showing. \u00a0Which, by the way, looked exactly like the past 40plus years of watching this show. \u00a0An hour episode with only 4, four, yes (4) commercial breaks. \u00a0And they were shorter than normal. \u00a0One, this show was made in 1964 when things were made better. \u00a0You can’t trim any part of this show to make it fit inside of an hour and still air all of the normal commercials. \u00a0Two, there were NO fast food, pop or beer commercials during this hour. \u00a0Three, all commercials were Christmas shopping oriented. \u00a0HUGE companies only. \u00a0Four, I bet these commercial time slots are expensive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s what I else I learned while watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. \u00a0Being that I am an openly addicted judge of all things livestock, I could not help but to evaluate Rudolph. \u00a0First, he is elevated in his front one-third. \u00a0He is jack necked and round bodied. \u00a0He has good lines and an extremely cocky appearance. \u00a0The red nosed reindeer is also extremely wide from stifle to stifle and travels very wide at the ground. \u00a0However, he is short from shoulder to hip and is borderline straight in his shoulder angle as well as from his front knee to the ground. \u00a0However, this structural extremity almost gives him the appearance of prancing and does not, in any way, \u00a0inhibit this deer from performing. \u00a0This beast\u00a0has packed a maximum amount of muscle on this skeleton and combined it with an almost comical amount of a cocky, cool look that when is added to the extreme color that this one posseses makes this one truly, a unique individual. \u00a0I like this one a lot.<\/p>\n
Were we talking deer or wether goats? \u00a0Wait, who’s the sire of that thing? \u00a0I know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ve got to get away from this keyboard. \u00a0Have a good one and a better tomorrow. \u00a0And if you haven’t done anything to help somebody else, well, get offa yo dongkey and do it now! \u00a0It is the season. \u00a0Year-round! \u00a0Prestige Worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
