Orson Bean’s vocal talents accounted for most of the cast of _Rabies Raccoon_. While Rabies himself was voiced by Ethel Merman, Orson did voice Rabies’s sidekick Pernicius Possum, his archenemy Offal Owl, the mischievous twins Scurvy and Turvy Turtle, his love interest Wilhelmina Weasel, and the extras: Botch Badger, Llewellyn Lynx, Mackie Maggot, Conrad Condor and Verity Vulture. Intended for ABC’s 1962 Saturday morning lineup, the show was pulled after a number of PTA’s throughout the country threatened the show’s main sponsor, Tampax.

Post’s line of animal themed cereals really didn’t spark any interest from consumers at the time though nowadays, dirty hipsters fondly remember eating bowls of _Rabies Raccoon_ as well as _Mangy Mutt_ and _Cropwormy Chick_ and long for their return. Post Cereal CEO Earnest Flatuline refuses to comment on whether or not these cereals would ever return.

A contributing factor in the failure of “Post’s line of animal themed cereals,” was the inability to shoehorn the word “sugar” into _Rabies_, _Mangy_, _Cropwormy_, _Maggot_, et cetera. Ironically, now that “sugar” has been banned from cereal names, _Rabies_ and his pals would be an acceptable part of your complete breakfast–especially over _Yoda_, _Darth Vader_ and _Jabba The Hutt_ [del]Breakfast-type product[/del] cereals.

Detailed biographies of whom are now furiously debated on fan sites. And a formerly nameless proposed droid character George Lucas once mentioned in passing in an interview, F-R-2Ch-EO, has now had his eighth novel published.

Drools-a-Bit and Dozes-Off-Again were considered the two most ineffectual chiefs the Shawnee ever had, though both were known to make killer kebabs and play a cut throat game of Parcheesi. Both fought in the Battle of Blawnox, but by proxy, sending instructions by mail from their winter home in the town of New Western Croatia, Ohio.

Last spring four researchers attempting to discover the true population of New Western Croatia, Ohio were found brutally slain, all having been horribly battered beyond recognition with a ball-peen hammer.

“Just Another Random Act of Census Violence” is a song by The New Western Croatians. It was the official anthem of Ohio, Baluchistan, and Uintastan until last year when they all found out about each other’s use of the song and held a Parcheesi tournament to determine who gets to keep it. Uintastan won, which means Baluchistan’s anthem is now “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO and Ohio’s is now “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber.

The National Center for Music predicts that unless the massive number of bands in the world sharply declines, the world will run out of new songs by 2075. So many songwriters blowing through the creative supply is unsustainable, they argue, and if we want our great-grandchildren to be able to croon something original, then we all need to change our tune now.
