It also features a very brief moment of her cat Tango, who I named my business after. I'll try to get it onto YouTube one of these days.<BR/><BR/>CynthiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-75737762565663865182008-05-30T22:32:00.000-07:002008-05-30T22:32:00.000-07:00Boy, life was sure simple back then.

In 1980, I was probably too busy learning how to walk and how to hold a crayon, having no idea what volleyball and animation were, nor how important they would both become to me later in life.<BR/><BR/>I love this for those reasons alone, nevermind the funny commentary and the surprising animators' victory. Who would have thought?!?<BR/><BR/>Also, I think there should be a 2008 reunion and rematch!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769492171005228876noreply@blogger.com
