Nor a basket

It’s been a few decades since I’ve seen a Yogi Bear cartoon. Did/does he say “pic-a-nic” in the cartoons?

I’ve always wanted to meet a spelling bee.

I’ve always wanted to meet a spelling bee. I want to ask it what kind of spells it knows.

Whaaat? Come on Boo Boo. Everyone knows there’s an a in a picanic.

“Then, why does it sound like there’s an ‘A’ in it? Pic – uh – nic. ‘Uh’ usually means there’s an ‘A’. The English language just doesn’t make sense sometimes.”

Yogi made a boo boo.

Or no e in potato.

This is cute, Leigh. Thanks!

My favorite Hall and Oates song is " You Make A My Dreams( Come True)"

The ranger didn’t like it either.

Gent Learned all about picanic baskets from Yogi. Gent, I have a picanic basket ready for you!

I still think he’s smarter than the average bear. The average bear wouldn’t even think about entering a spelling bee; he’d just eat the emcee.
