time for this one to come home.

Been a long time, so I don't know if that's quite right.


Edited first word.

"Drissle, drassle, drussle, drome. Time for this one to come home"
  • These classic words from an antiquated Saturday-morning cartoon, "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show," remind me of just how old I really am! In case you were not, like me, around when the Earth was still cooling, the words come from a gifted scientist, the Professor, who sends his gifted lab assistant, Sherman, to different historical events via his Way-Back Machine, a time machine that helped teach little kids like me about both ancient Greece and the Founding Fathers. Sherman 's adventures almost always made an impact on history, but his curiosity often got him into trouble, causing the Professor to bring back his young charge with the "drissle, drassle, drussle, drome" spell cited above.
Hey, he forgot about Mr. Peabody! :frown:

Ouch, wrong answer...



Tooter Turtle - Naive turtle featured as a part of the Saturday morning cartoon KING LEONARDO AND HIS SHORT SUBJECTS/ABC/1960-63. To satisfy his curiosity on a number of subjects, Tooter (who wore a straw hat, collar and necktie) visited Mr. Wizard, a lizard magician (dressed in sorcerer's hat and robes) who lived in the woods at the base of a tree. With a wave of his arms, Mr. Wizard sent Tooter Turtle through time or space to experience what it was like to be a gunfighter, knight, police officer or sailor. By the end of his adventure Tooter realizes (like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz) that there's no place like home and being a simple turtle. When Tooter cried "Help, Mr. Wizard!", the lizard sorceror proclaimed his magical chant: "Drizzle, Drazzle, Druzzle, Drome, time for this one to come home!" When Tooter arrived safely back, Mr. Wizard advised him: "Be what you is, not what you is not. Folks that what is, is the happiest lot." TRIVIA NOTE: In the sci-fi flick The Matrix (1999), when Neo (Neanu Reeves) is calling to get extracted from the Matrix, he says, "Mr. Wizard get me the hell out of here!"

Roger Ramjet was quite a bit later. Ever see Sky King? I got to see it during it's third round of reruns in the early '60s. Yeah, it was lame, but there was only 3 channels to watch and you took what you could get!
