(Damn it, Dozer, that's a famous quote. I saw it just the other day and I can't remember who or in what context.) (Sorry, I'll get out of the way now.)

[Dozer]

Classic commercial of all time...Tannin's old Avatar should certainly appreciate it (remember Mr. Owl?) :lol:

[Tannin]

Three small problems here: (a) I don't watch TV more than perhaps an hour in a month or two. (b) It's Australian TV. (c) It's almost invariably either ABC or SBS, neither of which have ads. (Well, SBS gets close these days, since Howard buggered it up, but I tune out anyway.) All in all, I'm no good on ads unless we are talking ~30 year old ones. Some of those I remember quite well.

But never fear. The owl will return, as will Tea's portrait. The sock puppets are just for a bit of a change. I'll get bored with them soon enough. Only question is, which owl? The reading one? Or the one with the eyes?
