"Is it all fall down, is it all go under?"-The Grateful Dead

A fun little screencap from the Season 2 Chucklewood Critters episode, "Smile Please, Lester!" In this episode, the cubs and their folks go on their annual family vacation to Crystal Bayou. Tagging along with them are Franklin, as well as Bearbette and Frisky, eager to visit their old home (wonder why their folks didn't go with them...? Maybe they didn't want to go themselves but gave the kids permission to go along with Buttons and Rusty's folks. Yeah, that's probably it). After a ride up river in a raft borrowed from Ranger Jones that sees them traverse rough waters and nearly get way off course thanks to lazy Abner and his poor sense of direction, they finally end up in Crystal Bayou. Their good friend Lester Gator is putting on an annual competition called the "Swamp Games" in which the cubs and their folks can participate in, alongside Lester and some of the other swamp critters!

They all have a good time playing and competing with one another, and eventually Lester wins a gold medal (actually, it's just made out of chocolate) after he wins the final competition-"the grease-pole gold medal showdown"-against a less-than-friendly gator called Rufus, who takes losing very badly. Then, it's time for a swamp party! Lester and a few other swamp critters are in a jug band, and start playing a silly little dance tune called "The Bayou Critters' Romp". It's a pretty goofy dance which-among other things, involves you stomping your feet, waving your arms about in the air like you're swimming, and-as you see here-giving your partner a butt bump!

Silly little tune and dance, yes. But it sure looks like everyone's enjoying themselves and having a good time being really silly, don't ya think? (Indeed, when it's all over Rosie says it's the most fun she's had in years!) Personally, myself...I don't like dancing at all, primarily because A. I'm terrible at it and B. I get no enjoyment out of it, but this looks like it might be a fun little dance to try (Though I don't think I will!) This particular episode made me feel kinda nostalgic as it made me think of my own family vacations when I was about Buttons and Rusty's age...I miss those days! Really, it seems like everyone's enjoying the get-together in the Bayou, save for Rufus who is massively butthurt over not getting the medal, and...Lester himself, for some odd reason that the cubs are about to discover...
