The Good, The Boo and The Ugly

This week’s Tuesday’s with Ty is not an essay. Sometimes life is inspired by sound bytes (or parrot bytes as it were). In honor of 15 years of cartoons playing on the television (supposedly for the parrots) and the subsequent quotes on the fly in my home, please enjoy a couple of our favorite clips. Sometimes the very best lessons in life involve a flash of juvenile humor and a reminder simply to laugh.


Ty was indoctrinated into Warner Bros cartoons at an early age, Foghorn Leghorn especially. (With Henery the Hawk being a special fave.) I will always laugh every time I hear Ty sputter, “I’m a chicken hawk and you’re a chicken”. (Kids these days, don’t know how to tie down their own punkins.)

But Warner Brothers wasn’t the be all end all…

Long before Animaniacs, Ty understood the value of “boo,” so we especially appreciated Chicken Boo. Yes, Ty can whistle “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.”

After all, everyone has got a fistful of feathers around here….

Sing along! “You wear a disguise to look like human guys, but you’re a man, you’re a chicken boo!” (not that I’m admitting Ty and I know the words to the theme song…) I told you that guy was a chicken!
