. . . was nanny to an English Royal named "Chucky," later known as King Charles II, just before Chucky's pops--King Charles I--had his noggin lopped off by Oliver Cromwell, inducing Mary to flee to Boston, MA. Before absconding to America, Mary wrote a poem to read to the young prince at his bedtime, which she hoped would sanitize the gory details of his father's execution. This verse eventually became beloved under the title PAT-A-CAKE, first recited by Bullwinkle J. Moose in his Corner on Feb. 19, 1961. Whereas Mary's original rhyme was sort of ghastly, involving multiple puncture wounds, time smoothed away some rough edges, and Bullwinkle diverts even further from the gruesome images conjured by the beta version.

Some people believe that "peanut butter" is one word.

However, if you type it in that way here, this site's spellchecker will underline it with a squiggly red line, accusing you of an egregious error. Which makes the whole situation a difficult mess, because peanut butter cookies constitute a key plot point during this show's fairy tale segment, titled SON OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Viewers previously disappointed by FRIED GREEN TOMATOES and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE will find this version of BEAUTY equally remiss in not offering a single recipe for making peanut butter cookies, after bringing up the issue and whetting audience appetites. The American Congress must pass a law mandating that any film focused on a mouth-watering food MUST provide clear directions on how to make or obtain it.

These are the two concluding chapters in the Rue Britannia story. Boris decides to send Bullwinkle into space, getting him out of Abominable Manor, and forfeiting his inheritance. Of course, nothing ever goes right for Boris, but justice is always served. Bullwinkle's bumbling makes an unconscious counter to the bad guy's efforts. The Fractured Fairy Tale is "Son of Beauty and the Beast" where the offspring of the famous couple gets no notoriety because of his famous father. People don't even know his name. Quit a funny character. Dudley Do-Right goes to Elevenworth Prison to put a stop to a plot by Snidely Whiplash, involving a submarine and the Canadian monsoon season. Nicely done theater of the absurd.
Peoria, IL has been considered the center of . . .

. . . American culture for at least a century. Peoria turns out to be the key to solving the RUE BRITANNIA mystery, as noted below. Fort Clark, as Peoria was christened, became home to Cater-Pillar Heavy Equipment Company in 1925, largely responsible for churning out the U. S. Interstate Highway System during the subsequent nine decades. Before Prohibition, Peoria was the center of the American whiskey industry, as well. As revealed in the YOU CAN PLANET BETTER THAN THAT conclusion of Britannia, America stands on Peoria's shoulders when it comes to bathmats. Still unexplained, though, is how a moose almost got stuck with Lord Crankcase's million-pound debt.
