Foghorn Leghorn was the greatest character actor of our time
I say, I say, I say it's a joke son
Rooster fries and corn squeezins
Maybe I will learn some code. Putting a dashed line under a line of text makes the text much bigger. Too bad I either have no memory or don't intend to spend the rest of my life here. Damn those are deep subjects too. They could use some expansion.
God they sure could. If I have no memory than what does it matter where I am. I won't remember it anyway. If I'm not going to spend the rest of my life here, then where am I going to spend it? And if I have no memory, I won't remember anyway.
Nice clean circle. Jerk-less, of course.
Now the famed rooster of cartoon yore spent his time in the barnyard. He strutted, he crowed. He held down the females. He was a prototype. He was a jerk chicken.
No less about him at all.
Foghorn Leghorn was all about more.
He was louder, stronger, more persuasive. He of course was modeled on Lyndon B. Johnson. Or vice versa.
LBJ was a good man. He passed the Civil Rights Bill. He did good things. He had a genuine concern for the poor. He tried to put the jam on a lower shelf.
Foghorn was more symbol than reality. He does not have a Presidential Library
Were both Foghorn and LBJ actors? Character actors? The greatest character actors of their time?
Well maybe. I say, I say, I say it's not a joke son. They were larger than life. They made the world a better place. I'm proud for knowing them and I would have voted for either of them if I'd been old enough.
When the best of corn squeezin's and rooster fries are hung on the wall to dry, when the clear 200 proof liquor and the chicken gonads are only hungover memories, we will have this to treasure.
Pride can be a good thing.
Well I remembered that this long.
