Sorry to disappoint you, Andrew, but "the mouse that roared" is not a
reference to Bugs Bunny or any other Loony Toon. "The Mouse that
Roared" is an old Peter Sellers movie about a tiny country (population
100 or so) who decide that the solution to their economic problems is to
declare war on the United States and LOSE.
OK, since it's a Peter Sellers movie, maybe it could be considered a
Loony Toons reference, but no Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, or elephants!
