the Gobbler!!!

Dearest WWSOTW staff --
Thank you SO much, you have given me a real Christmas present with this site! I'm beginning to wonder what the connection is, because the Gobbler reminds me so much of the home of one of my husband's old girlfriends, here in suburban New Orleans. (Wish I could send photos, you'd be amazed.) Plus, I used to casually refer to the campus lighting here at LSUSD as illuminated basketballs. Who knew they were really thought-based alien life forms?!?!? (Sadly, Hurricane Katrina smashed the last of them. So much for higher intelligence on campus.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Have a great Christmas, and a somewhat belated joyful Hanukkah, and keep up the great work!

Wacky Web Site suggestion

http://www.amberdigital.com/where/

If we started a movie on the day you were born, and stretched it over your lifespan, this is where you'd be in that movie. So if you're a teenager, you might see Luke arguing with Uncle Owen, or Cameron making a phony phone call to Ed Rooney. If you're a retiree, you might see the Marshmallow Man, or Toto pulling away the curtain. And if you're in your mid-thirties, you might be relieved to know that Ferris is still eating lunch, and the Millenium Falcon hasn't left Tatooine.
