Did you start singing along? I did! And did a 'wiggle dance of joy' LOL.
I wonder how many still have their copy. LOL
Funny! Thanks for the ping!

I never got mine. :-(
My pleasure, and Numa-Numa to all!
Like you, I'm laughing with him. It's very funny.
He needs to ride this for all it is worth. Think "William Hung."
Some people feel very uncomfortable watching FAT PEOPLE have fun, because they are thin and miserable. Naturally anyone big should be eating worms right along with them.
Got a fax machine? LOL
