Brevity by Dan Thompson for April 13, 2019

Tell them dang kids to scoot their butts outa here.

I’m old enough to know the Little Rascals but not old enough to know that Rascal is a brand of mobility scooter without looking it up.

Could be worse – Bugs Bunny could be driving it as a ‘wascally wabbit’.

And they are all named Scooter.

I was a little confused by the picture…. so I just had to look up Rascal® Scooters….

It seems they come in all sorts of configurations, but some do have those extra wheels, like training wheels, in front.

Like this:

So we have 4 or 5 Rascals, depending on how you count, riding on a Rascal….

I make it Alfalfa standing and Spanky kneeling on the seat….

Stymie lying down on the floorboard, with his feet up… which was part of what confused me….

and poor Farina lying sideways, holding on behind the seat.

The fifth one is Petey the Pup in the basket.

That’s all I’ve got….

except for “Hang on, Farina!”

All the original Little Rascals eventually ended up in little Rascals themselves (if they all lived long enough!)

This past January I got to see Baxter St where they filmed the Little Rascals’ go cart scene. Yeah, that’s steep!

If they run over nails is it Little Rascal Flatts?

hey, where’s Darla?

But what’s with the shadow on the left? It doesn’t match the group on the right?
