"Things that have made my day" - When is that going to happen? I wish I could have one of those; the kind where everyone cared about me, or even said "good job." :sadbendy:

Cheer up, Duckers. You know we all care about you here. :D

We're here if you need us, dude. :frankiesmile:

Truer words have yet to be spoken. ;) We care about you Ducky. And I know you have an awesome guitar collection, and no doubt create some amazing music, too. :frankiesmile:

My friend showed me this commercial. Truly the most amazing and wonderful thing I've seen in a while. It certainly made my day. :)

Someone in my steel structure class pointed out a math error in our syllabus: the total percentage points added up to 115% instead of 100%. Oh my...:weirded:

Found this on the site that my sig leads to:

Sounds like a pretty dang good idea to me. :frankiesmile:

I recently picked up this, in a charity shop for only 50p. I seriously think it's one of the coolest things ever:

It's a rat made entirely out of metal. Plus it's wearing a little custom (I presume) scarf, which is random, but darling. I got it last week when I was visiting my parents. At first glance they didn't want me to buy it, since they mistook its metalic body for some kind of cheap brush, but I liked it, so I went ahead and bought it any way, and once they'd had a better chance to look at it and absorb its true resplendence, they finally had to admit that they liked it after all. Huzzah!

Cool! Is it die-cast? I've got a die-cast cat with a spring neck that'd like your rat! Actually it reminds me a little of Fingermouse, which used to pass for entertainment on TV in a more innocent age:

Thanks, Koosie! And you know, you're the first person I've encountered in ages who actually remembers Fingermouse too. That also goes some way toward making my day! I loved Fingermouse as a nipper, and he has no trouble passing for entertainment for me even today - in the late 80s, I even sent off for one of those instruction sheets which told you how to make your own.

It wasn't until many years later that I discovered that Fingermouse, as I used to watch it, had actually been a spin-off of an earlier show called Fingerbobs. There are some pretty nasty rumours regarding the final episode of that show, which claim that presenter Rick Jones went slightly mad and started destroying the beloved puppets while the camera was still rolling...if so, then I highly doubt that any of that footage was ever aired, despite what popular legend might dictate. That Fingermouse got a spin-off obviously proves that he survived Jones's alleged attempts to murder him by drowning him in a cup of coffee. :P
