It&#8217;s not the most exciting job, but with a lovely (whatever gender you, the reader, is attracted to) by your side, things can&#8217;t be all bad. Wait, there&#8217;s a cat in the house? Okay, things CAN be all bad. My proof? The cat tries to get at the bird in the room, (Okay, that one&#8217;s on the owner. Never put predator and prey together unless you WANT one to die. ) but he misses and ends up breaking the female figurine. The lady of the house isn&#8217;t pleased, but there&#8217;s no use in crying over split statues, so she scoops up the pieces and takes them to the attic. (I guess she intends to fix her. She just leaves, though)<\/p>\n<p>Little boy shepherd statue (and sheep) do not like to be separated from their soulmate, and head off to rescue her. She&#8217;s found and the damage doesn&#8217;t look that bad. Just a couple of broken legs. The common procedure is a little glue, and who better to perform the operation than your boyfriend\/husband\/brother\/best friend\/co-worker\/neighbor to help you piece your life back together after a break-up? This is a couple who sticks together! (Ever the gentleman, he averts his gaze when she glues her rump back in place. Maybe someday she&#8217;ll let him touch it.)<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think we&#8217;ve gone long enough without the title song playing. The duo dance while other attic dwellers provide the music. A spider on the piano, the three (monkey stooges on vocals) and some pretty silhouettes on a lampshade. The girl statue starts getting a little more frisky and does some conga dancing, while the boy conducts a bunch of clocks. (Why are their so many clocks in this attic? One or two, sure, but eleven? Are clock fetishes real? I&#8217;m staying away from this lady&#8217;s house.) There&#8217;s even a rotoscoped couple in a picture. Fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the sheep statue I&#8217;ve barely mentioned? She (I&#8217;m just guessing, but the lack of horns point toward the fairer sex) has disturbed a lion statue, and is now on the receiving end of a hunt. (Hold everything! This cuckoo clock lady knew not to keep the artificial predator\/prey\u00a0 apart, but leaves the ones capable of bloodshed together? I&#8217;m sending the ASPCA to this lady&#8217;s house) The resulting chase has the sheep going through a pipe and coming out black, and they resist the temptation to have it call for &#8220;mammy.&#8221; Impressive. (Although, is it wrong that I feel they should have made it cry &#8220;lammy&#8221;?)<\/p>\n<p>Boy statue fires an arrow on loan from a cupid statue. (Why are there so many statues in the attic? Because they are clearly seasonal. Cupid for February, Angry Lion for March, etc. I have SOME answers) It gets the felines attention, (although, do ceramic lions feel pointy objects?) and it gives the trio a chance to make a get away. (The lion crashed into the door and crumbles.) They get back to their spot, but break a lamp in the process. The clock fetishist is not pleased. (And doesn&#8217;t notice the repaired statue or the black sheep.)<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Part: The lady blames the cat for the lamp assault, and chases after it broom in hand. Sooooo&#8230;maybe I&#8217;ll wait a bit before calling those authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hiya, Big Boy!&#8221; Supervision by Isadore Freleng; Animation by Rollin Hamilton and Charles M.
