A week ago? Two weeks? Well, it's time for the dry spell to end. These guys show what's possible when you've got a herd of sheep, some talented working dogs, a video camera ... http://www.globalspynetwork.com/?p=97 I wish Saturday cartoons were more like this Think about how we all would have turned out if we had this to watch instead of Fat Albert.

I'm just glad I learned this lesson from the comfort of my own home instead of somewhere a bit more embarrassing, like the zoo or on safari. ... http://www.globalspynetwork.com/?p=91 The Star Trek II Opera I am enough of a nerd to be able to debate the relative merits of various Star Trek movies, and I stand firmly by my position that the 2nd one is the only one they ever should have made.
