I'm getting too old

I must be too old.

Been re-watching TWW past week (visiting at a friend's house,) and appreciating the sanity. Gone from there now, will return for 1 night and may see last 4 or so episodes.

but they are not there anymore. I just took them off and put them right here on the desk beside my computer...

OMG, you found them! Now I can get a colonoscopy ... or something.

I see that commercial where the little colon cancer screening box finds the lady's glasses ... reminds me of Franzia (see Seth TVs best jokes) Maybe they should call it "colonoscopy in a box."
