"Now, that makes me mad." When you read that line, you have to take on the persona and voice the cartoon dog character, Droopy, to get the full effect. I had a few things to get at Walmart today. Luckily, it was a rather...

DB Wow, psychedelic colors! The pattern on that fish would make for a great tie-dyed hippie t-shirt. Interesting video. I've noticed on other nature shows different species attracting a mate with exotic dances
