Good call! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. The commercial with the children has a definite “Fiddle About” feeling to it. (link)

What kills that image for me is Ema’s famous penchant for rear view mirror ornaments: Teddy bears holding hearts, stuffed toy kittens…

I was going to make some smart ass re-captioning of the above pic, but I’ve been wonderfully outmaneuvered by people recreating marry poppins’ songs. Hilarious..he he…good job guys…

Still…I was hoping to comment on how it might be one of the CEOs from the three bailout companies, I mean car companies…

It’s strange, but, after the rash of misspelled captions, I read this one twice. I’m overly excited that some people know the difference between quite and quiet.

Here is Project Playlist’s entries for “Mary Poppins”. [link under name]

I kinda like Drino Man’s remix; those of you who rave (I know nothing about it), is this something you would hear at one of those jolly gatherings? *wink*

Just a spoonful of bailout
Makes the failure go down
The failure go dooown
Failure go down
Just a spoonful of bailout
Makes the failure go down
But the fat cats still want their tax breaks.

I think I saw this image on Reuters.com a while back. The man in the picture is a performance artist dressed “as a gentleman” as they described it. I think he was walking on a tight rope in London’s business district.

This one made me smile when I saw it in voting! It’s not like “ruin your keyboard” funny, but I’m glad it made the front. As an aside, I really find the way the caption is set up graphically pleasing, which doesn’t hurt any!
