Four Hundred Tenth in the Famous People (FP) Series -
Foghorn Leghorn
SIDE of the ROAD GANG #5
A series of caches dedicated
to those things you just might see (or imagine you see) on the side
of the road while driving through the countryside. All containers
are small micro caches, although the main characteristic of the
cache would be that of its namesake.
Many of the gags involved
Foghorn and the Barnyard Dawg, George P. Dog, engaging in
one-upmanship through a series of pranks. Unlike other Looney Tunes
rivalries, Foghorn is often the initial aggressor out of
self-amusement and subsequently on the 'losing' end of gags. Most
common among them was Leghorn's taking up a plank of wood, while
ambling along humming "Camptown Races" (the only intelligible words
being "Doo-DAH! Doo-DAH!"), coming to the sleeping Dawg with his
front half inside his doghouse, picking up his tail and rapidly
whacking (almost always with eight strokes) his exposed rear
end.
