Quotes
Charlie Brown: [Charlie Brown has just won the motocross, in defiance of all expectations - including his own. However, instead of the Grand Prize of 5 free Superbowl tickets, CB is awarded...] Five free *haircuts?* But my dad is a barber. And besides, I don't have much hair to cut!
[Later, on the way home]
Linus van Pelt: Don't take it too hard, Charlie Brown. Winning the big prize isn't what really counts.
Charlie Brown: [DELETED LINE] I don't mind not winning a *big prize*, half as much as I mind getting stuck with a *white elephant*.
Linus van Pelt: What does count is that you did your best. And by doing your best, you beat them all. You came in first, Charlie Brown!
[This, however, is very cold comfort]
Charlie Brown: [DELETED LINE] Do you want one of my free haircuts?
Linus van Pelt: [DELETED LINE, extremely awkward] ... Uhm, well - er - No thanks, Charlie Brown.

Whoop-Dee-Do!

When it comes to being an all-round sport - This sweet, animated short (25 minutes) from 1975, has our young, pumpkin-headed protagonist, Charlie Brown, going in for such all-American, pastime activities as tennis, baseball, football, and, yes, even dirt-biking.

Of course, being good, ol' Charlie Brown (the ultimate blockhead) failure just seems to be his destiny in any sports arena. But whatever he tackles, you can always be sure that Charlie Brown can be counted on to plunge into any given activity with the winning spirit of a real loser.

This particular short was an Emmy Award winner. Its creator, Charles M. Shulz, is considered to be one of the most influential cartoonist of all time.

Sad to say - On Feb. 12. 2000, Charles M. Shulz, 77 at the time, died of cancer.
