A Boogieman in Babes in Toyland (1934)
No matter how you spell it–boogieman, bogeyman, boogeyman–these guys are bad news.
My mother always used to watch Laurel and Hardy in Babes in Toyland when it was on TV at Christmastime. When I was a little boy, the scenes with the boogiemen upset me–although I didn’t say so, or then I wouldn’t have been allowed to see the movie. I also had a lurking suspicion that some of those boogiemen were living in Edgar Woods, practically next door to us.
Why have I thought of boogiemen today? I dunno–maybe listening to the news and hearing political idiots warning us that President Trump is gonna tear children from our arms, next. (That was Michael Steele, spouting that.) Maybe it’s from driving to and from the vet’s, through what used to be “the country” but isn’t anymore–just a wilderness of McMansions, strips malls, and a lot of Agenda 21 crap. Nothing beautiful is allowed to survive.
Maybe the boogieman isn’t imaginary, after all.
I’m probably gonna get in trouble for this, but I guess I’m old enough not to mind lol. I have a new proposal for the ‘face of the boogeman’.

I think this pope IS the boogieman! Just my opinion . . .
He’s definitely scary.
Gee, the Bible must have been wrong about all that.
The relationship of churches to the bible is not what it used to be.
We all know the real Boogeyman is Satan, the deceiver of the nations. His days are numbered when God finally has not more use for him – good riddance.
I have an idea for a prize for the ‘Draw the Ugliest Boogieman Face’ contest: the winner gets a free trip to Boogieland (or to Jurassic Park)…one-way trip, of course!
(P.S. This is a joke, and nothing but a joke.)
We already have Nancy Pelosi…
…and the Little Rocket Man.
