They were anxiously waiting for me to open the gifts to see what they GAVE to me; and I was trying to be careful not to rip the gifts, realizing they were homemade.

The proper unwrapping of presents can be a difficult GAME.

When wrapping a gift it is a good idea to put the person's NAME on it, (especially if it is at Christmas time and all the presents are together under the tree).

He has the most recognized face in advertising history. Ronald McDonald is second.. I saw it recently on the History Channel.

They sure don't MAKE cartoons or superheroes like they used to; but I love to see my own children still watching the old cartoons I grew up with on Boomerang.

The funny part is them telling me about the shows and the characters and I tell them I know! I watched that when I was a child as well.

Those cartoon characters rake in a lot of money I am willing to bet. Perhaps we need a cartoon character who employs the power of email to destroy his/her enemies........

e.g. by sending FAKE information about millions of dollars in an orphaned account in Nigeria which can be released if they (the enemies) provide more personal data....

even if no monies are ever 'reclaimed', it would please so many if they (the enemies) just lost some face..

edit: oops, I just scrolled back and realized I used a word recently already used. Two seconds later I saw I was the one who used it..

Do cartoon characters pay full FARE if they ride on a bus or train?

Yes, they dare not try to get a ride on the cheap - they are very afraid of the wrath of Father Christmas!
