Okay this is off-the-wall, but it came to me last night as something that bothered me when I first saw it.
There’s a Donald Duck cartoon, a color one, where he’s listening to a radio broadcast about an escaped criminal (I think-it could’ve been an animal). The announcer breaks in every so often throughout the cartoon with updates. At the end of each, he says, “That is all…”, and then says a word that, to my ears, sounds like “Breckenridge.” What’s the word?
He weathered a firestorm of agony and did not break.
And while Yori raged against his unbending
courage, we took Kyuden Hiruma back.
His loss is great, but so is the gift his suffering brought.

Yeah, the cartoon is about a vicious escaped gorilla. Youre absolutely right, it sounds exactly like “Breckenridge”. Havent a clue what it means…not much help, I suppose, except to tell you you heard right.

Yeah, Opal, I thought that maybe it was supposed to be some kind of call sign for the radio station, but I’m not up enough on 30’s/40’s radio to know the practices. That, I’m not completely sure that’s what he’s saying.
But thanks for telling me I’m not insane, Pimpernel. Good to know someone else heard it too.

Wow. Welcome to the board and thank you for solving this one, Larkspur! Since this thread is almost 10 years old and the question has been answered, I’m going to close it down. Marley23.
