Don't worry, Wolly. I am going to college to learn how to give robots "feelings". I'll help you make a robot that not only cleans up a sooty house, but sympathizes with you when these sort of crises happen. :smile:

MoonB, that's not from Riki Tiki Tavi -- guess again! And quickly before Zz comes in here!:biggrin:

I think there should be a forum rule about doing away with sexy blonds
and adopting cartoon cats :smile: I agree whole heartedly MoonB it is
mental cruelty.

Bingo! When I was a kid I played that album so many times I wore the record out. That's the only reason I remember it. Because I was the dorkiest little kid in the world, I used to play it while I danced around on my screened-in patio. I choreographed a dance for every song on the album. The Siamese Cat Song dance was particularly silly. :redface:

Wolly, I will build you an Austin Powers Fembot. A much nicer version, though. :smile:
