do you remember the "Ruby Yacht of Omar Khaiyem"?

One time Boris Badenov was undercover as a lion tamer, under the name "Claude Badly". I didn't think anything of it until about halfway through the episode when it suddenly hit me, and I about fell out of my chair.

You were much quicker on the uptake than I was. I was a big fan of Stan Freberg's "Time For Beany" in the early 50's. They introduced a character at one point called "Tearalong, the Dotted Lion," and I didn't make the connection until a decade later when I was removing a coupon from a newspaper.

Amazing how your mind can store odd things for long periods of time, then smack you upside the head when you least expect it...
