"Christmas Bells" can't save Snoopy from this embarrassment


Many of you know of my continued rivalry with Snoopy, the Beagle from Peanuts. I can’t understand how a cartoon dog can be a lawyer, college student, and World War I flying ace --- that’s ridiculous.


NO, I am not jealous! – stop saying that!


Here is proof of Snoopy’s inadequacy:

Some text from Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron by The Royal Guardsmen

Was the night before Christmas and forty below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron and fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below


Now come on; if Snoopy is that wonderful, why is he using the “ice on his wings” excuse? Any Beagle can shoot down the Red Baron at a -40 degree temperature. I could. It takes forty below just to permeate my fuzzy coat. I call this song “The Song about how Snoopy Failed in his Mission and Instead Fraternized with the Enemy.”

Here’s a link to the song on YouTube in case you haven’t heard it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlf---13Q0g&feature=email

I propose a new Christmas song: “Dr. Bohdi accidently bombs an Inebriated Snoopy and Red Baron near the Rhine” -- that’s a catchy name.
