My Favorite Things – Volume 1

From time to time (wait a minute, that’s a lie!) Frequently and often, I get excited about a new/old movie, artist, musician, book, recipe, fashion or beauty tricks and feel compelled to share them with the world.  So, I’d like to introduce to you to my new ongoing topic, “My Favorite Things.” Perhaps they will soon become some of your favorites as well. :)

Volume 1

I would like to share with you my love of vintage Goofy cartoons from the 1940′s and 1950′s.  There were a couple dozen short cartoons made during this period which featured Goofy learning how to do various things like skiing, gymnastics, baseball, basketball, and track & field.  In true Goof fashion, hilarity ensues and he gets himself into ridiculous situations.  They are truly timeless and I laugh my ass off to this day every time I see one.  My favorites would have to be Hockey Homicide, How to Play Golf, and The Olympic Champ, but all of them are pretty damn funny.  If you haven’t seen them, I suggest you look them up on youtube immediately.  If you’ve got kids, they will get a kick outta them too!!  For a bit of trivia, Goofy’s proper name is Mr. George Geef. Weird, Huh?!?!

Because I love you, here is a link to all the Goofy shorts that were made during that time:

Enjoy!
