			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src='http://smithsrus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/porcupine.jpg' alt='Porcupine' />Happy spring everyone! Our Illinois Winter has seemed a little longer this year so it&#8217;s nice to feel things warming up.</p>
<p>Every spring I recall an old <a href="http://looneytunes.warnerbros.com/">Looney Tunes</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrie_Melodies">Merrie Melodies</a> cartoon from my childhood. The cartoon starts out looking like a nature documentary as the camera pans through the forest. Then the narrator says, &#8220;It&#8217;s spring … even the porcupines are in love.&#8221; Two porcupines repeatedly pucker up, kiss, then jump back in pain with an &#8220;ow ow ow ow!&#8221; You gotta love that classic Looney Tunes humor.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a little spring quiz for everyone. What is the name of that episode and is it available anywhere?</p>
<p>My kids are probably tired of hearing my wife and I quote it every time someone mentions spring. <img src='http://smithsrus.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;d love to show the cartoon to them but I can&#8217;t find it. It would stand to reason that it may be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepé_Le_Pew">Pepé Le Pew</a> story, but I&#8217;m not sure. We own the first three <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=Looney%20Tunes%20Golden%20Collection&#038;tag=thehomepageofdou&#038;index=dvd&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325">Looney Tunes Golden Collection</a></em> DVD box sets and it&#8217;s not on any of those.</p>
