Happy Birthday, Bugs


TWIT and I would like to wish Bugs Bunny a very happy 80th birthday.  Yep, 80 years ago today Bugs made his debut in a Porky Pig cartoon titled "Hare Hunt."  

When most people think of Bugs Bunny, they think of his trademark "Eh, what's up, doc?"  Not me.  I think of his phrase "I must have taken a left turn at Albequeque."  In a lot of the cartoons, Bugs was always burrowing his way to some sort of carrot-related event, but ending up somewhere else.  He would then consult a road map, which was silly because he was burrowing underground and not using roads, and as he becomes reoriented, he would always say "I must have taken a left turn at Albequeque."

Thanks for the memories and the laughs, Bugs.
