The whale-and-petunias silver pendant just floored me.
@breadbox: Oh! Oh! Oh! I just saw that! Holy Moley!
It's the first time someone gets the whale & petunias thing. I can die happy now. Thanks!
You are among your people!
I have to confess to being caught off guard by the whole Yogi Bear thing. How could I have not noticed that?
Steve- I know what you mean! And once you know about it, it's hard not to notice it.
Chemical Party made me gtiggle, and that Yogi Bear thing was fascinating. I knew that Hanna-Barbera pioneered new animation styles, but learning the details was really interesting.
I've now watched a ton of those Big Picture videos, thank you for amusing me.
