BORIS BADENOV has joined the Dynamic Syndications team.
Not the fictional Cartoon Character but the racehorse !
Dynamic Syndications are delighted to announce that one of our recently advertised and syndicated 2yo’s from the NZ Bloodstock’s Ready To Run Sale, the colt by
MAGIC ALBERT from BADINOV’S BABE has been named after the fictional Russian Spy cartoon character from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show.
We thank co-owner Sam Warne-Smith for submitting the clever name. Several names submitted had similar Rocky & Bullwinkle theme’s behind them.
So who was Boris Badenov ?
Boris was a spy for the fictional nation of Pottsylvania, and takes orders from the nation's leader, “Fearless Leader”. Boris's missions range from trying to steal a secret rocket fuel formula to eliminating all television from the USA as part of Pottsylvania's various attempts to seize power. Boris, who is thoroughly dedicated to (and takes delight in) all manners of nefarious deeds, would also sometimes engage in his own schemes, such as starting his own organised crime gang.
Boris was an active member of Local 12 of the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union. Boris also claims to be "the world's greatest no-goodnik." Boris is also quite proud of the fact that the nicest thing Fearless Leader ever did for him was sending a picture of himself to Boris inscribed "Drop Dead — Fearless Leader".
Boris was educated in the Pottsylvania public schools before taking a scoundrelship to U.S.C. (the University of Safecracking), from which he graduated magna cum louse. He has a cast-iron stomach; and because of it was one of only three survivors of the ruling clique of Pottsylvania, the other two being his superiors Fearless Leader and Mr. Big.
Boris enjoys light reading; his favorite book is an anthology of fiendish plans called the Fireside Crook Book. He is also a charter member of the Van Gough Society, a Pottsylvanian club whose members collect human ears.
Boris is nearly always accompanied by his fellow spy, Natasha Fatale. Usually, Boris's misdeeds are thwarted by Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. Boris's attempts at killing "moose and squirrel" (as he refers to them) also always end in failure, usually by his own scheme backfiring on him. As Boris expresses his plight in one episode: "I put bomb in squirrel's briefcase and who gets blown up? Me!"
Boris appeared in all but three Rocky and Bullwinkle storylines. Also Boris often appeared in segments of Bullwinkle's Corner, Mr. Know-it-All, and Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club.
Now that everybody has re-acquainted themselves with Boris Badenov and hopefully childhood memories have flooded back, we leave you with this positive thought from Dynamic Syndications:
“ Go Boris ! ”
