Here’s something we know you’ll really like! By PETER BOSCH It’s National Moose Day, which occurs every January 25! And get this — National Squirrel Day was four days ago, on January 21! What better way to celebrate than by honoring the greatest moose-and-squirrel team of them all — Bullwinkle and Rocky! Jay Ward’s Rocky and His Friends or, more popularly, The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, had its debut a little more than 65 years ago — Nov. 19, 1959, on ABC. And what a show it was!

Even back then, Ward was playing one of his many jokes, as you will see in the below video, with the statue mimicking a Vegas showgirl statue at the Chateau Marmont across the street. Jayne Mansfield did the unveiling (of the Bullwinkle...
