ENCYC: then how did you know it was brown??

i remember some weird one where bugs meany tricked EB into tying him up and throwing grapes at him, and then some adults were like, "EB, what are you doing?" EB had a clever solution to that one, though.

I always wondered if Chief Brown was ever troubled by his son solving the case and making him look dumb.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 12 October 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

Wasn't there one where Bugs or whomsever disguises himself as a woman, but Brown catches him because he was sitting at a restaurant not facing the room?

Also, THERE ARE NO PENGUINS IN THE ARTIC CIRCLE

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 12 October 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

The only one I remember involved a sword supposedly used at the "First Battle of Bull Run," according to an engraved inscription, and EB proving it to be counterfeit because after the battle, nobody could have known that there would be a second Bull Run.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 12 October 2006 19:54 (twenty years ago)

I remember there was a TV series. Which I watched. In school, possibly for some school-being-under-funded reason. It wasn't very educational!
