Wow, that is cute!  My husband was looking over my shoulder and said "that guy has much too much free time!". And if you had a cat, it would never get to completion.
Anyway, remember the car commercial that someone posted here about 2 years ago?  I didnt save the link,,,,,,That was slick.

I'm having a déjà vu moment here. wink.gif  Saw this earlier when RHP linked to it (via a different website that loads better) in the humor thread. It's very clever.

I think this just goes to show you that great minds think alike and not-so-great minds are stuck in the same rut!   smile.gif   Well his is in German and I couldn't get it to load properly at all (must be a time of day thing) and I also wonder who posted it first because his says "Yesterday, 05:54 PM" and mine was posted "Posted Mar 27 2007, 02:55 PM" but since yesterday was the 27th then I guess I win (nanny-nanny- boo-boo) and how's that for intelligent discussion!   harhar.gif

Well, even with the grainy picture, I think I figured out that the alarm clock in the first frame starts the whole thing. But, without sound, I'm not sure...

I have sound as well..  I didn't find the picture to be all that grainy either.  Might be a bandwidth thing..  Greg are you still using dial up  wink.gif

Dial-up at home, but not at work - however, no speakers.

I was going to suggest one of these:



Until you said that!   smile.gif   Of course I've used one since I worked that Flying Burritos Concert back in 1975!
