As my girls would say;

I know right! Buck Rogers meets the Jetsons. Will have to get one of those one day....

BUT, today is the best day, cause we have it. We're not promised even one more. After all aren't the Mayan's killing us all off in a couple of months?

That Hornby spot had me howling with laughter.
One of the most brilliant spoofs I've seen. Thank
you, for that.

Surprisingly, I've never watched SNL. Heard about
it, just never looked at it. That skit was simply
delightful. Thank you, again.

Being a spiritual leader must be a job with unique challenges. I am
reminded of the principle that if we are created in His image, it
follows that we are mini-creators. Fabluous post, WKS, thank you!!

Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer — that means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'What is beauty?' because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
