Speaking of this subject. My wife saw something on FB that an original General was just wrecked in Hollister Missouri, Taney County. I doubt it's really an original but you never know. Anybody hear about it?
Oh no. So tragic. I got a lump in my throat when I saw that picture of him holding her hand. Thanks for letting us know Hobie. I'm a bit choked up right now.
I've never heard anybody complain about the label roughneck. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens someday. Everybody gets so offended so easily now. I'm pretty sure the term came from oil rig workers. I'm not too far from where The Valley That Changed The World is located. The world's first oil well is named Drake's Well and is a tourist attraction. But I think the term roughneck started in the Texas boom...could be wrong. Redneck came from coal miners. Pretty weird since they didn't get much sun. I believe it was to identify themselves in their gunfights when the labor disputes were going on.
You are correct. The writing did seem amaterish. But maybe the writers were told to do that because they wanted to attract a young audience in hopes they would be fans of the show for decades...IT WORKED!
I remember you doing this a couple years ago. I like the cartoons. Sure some of them are goofy but they are cartoons after all. The best thing about them is the voices....all original!
