    This poor fellow is me, bad temper and all. Have not seen this one for years and I laughed as mush as the first time. Brilliantly silly.

    Procrastination - that's my middle name! It was predictable and silly -- I loved it! Nothing like a good giggle. I especially liked his hair. I've seen this at least once before - I think I could watch this over and over again.
