Now if the bomb doesn't kill you out right at least you won't expire from breathing toxic fumes!

How about a humanoid friendly mine... you know, one that doesn't go

KABOOM

Yeh, I know. I have a stuffed toy my son gave me of Marvin the Martian sitting on my bookcase. I still enjoy Marvin, Bugs, Yosemite Sam, Daffy, foghorn Leghorn and Wile E. Coyote. Just old, I guess.

My oldest son (now 26 and working in Fort Worth) had a great Marvin the Martian alarm clock. It was about a foot tall and at the appointed hour, Marvin would pop up and shout "Wake up earthling!"

That reference is from a cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian. Marvin is trying to view a star, and the earth is blocking his view. So he is going to use his Illudium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator in his gun to destroy the earth. Bugs steals it and Marvin is waiting for the explosion. That is when he states "Where's the Kaboom" There was supposed to be an earth-shattering Kaboom". These characters and more, were from Looney Tunes with Mel Blanc as the voice. Google Looney Tunes, I believe Youtube has some snippets from them.

Here is some Looney Tune trivia.

What carecter appears in the fewest cartoons but is one of the most popular?
