Bad Tweety

Tweety completed its first mission of making it to Erika Jean in Arizona in under a year! Check out Erika's blog:

Erika has assigned Tweety a new mission: To get to P.J. in New York a fellow cacher and blogger who she hasn't met either by placing Tweety in the Park in Trees Cache (GC23FG6).

I found this Tweety at a cache in Keehner Park in West Chester Ohio. (On rather important side note, this was the park that I proposed to my wife on Sweetest Day October 17th, 1998.) As soon as I saw this little Tweety I thought it would make a great travel bug and had been thinking of seeing how long it would take to get a travel bug to a specific cache.

I have always been a Looney Toon fan and this is my second Looney Toon Travel Bug.

A little History on Tweety:

Tweety (also known as Tweety Bird and Tweety Pie) is a fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. Tweety's popularity, like that of The Tasmanian Devil, actually grew in the years following the dissolution of the Looney Tunes cartoons. The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "Sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for the sounds of birds. Tweety has appeared in 48 cartoons.

Despite the widespread speculation that Tweety was female, he is and has always been a male character, something that he often has confirmed in The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. On the other hand, his species is ambiguous; although originally and often portrayed as a young canary, he is also frequently called a rare and valuable "Tweetybird" as a plot device, and once called "The only living specimen". Moreover, the title song suggests that it is a Canary. His shape more closely suggests that of a baby bird, which in fact is what he was during his early appearances. The yellow feathers were added but otherwise he retained the baby-bird shape.

Tweety is, for the most part, a good-natured character happily spending life in his cage or a nest. However, when a cat or other adversary threatens him, he can become downright malicious and devious, even kicking his enemy when he's down. In many of Tweety's appearances the bird is shown accompanying his owner, Granny.

In many ways I am a lot like Tweety, normally laid back, and happy go lucky but if you cross me or someone I care about I become malicious, devious, and will even kick them when they are down, just like Tweety.
