    Heeere I come to save the dayyyyy!”…. *can’t remember the rest of the Mighty Mouse anthem* (Am I dating myself? Well, heck, yeah!)

      I’ll date myself along with you emmberrann. Funny how these things stick in the brain when you can’t remember who said what to you a week ago!

      Mister Trouble never hangs around
      When he hears this Mighty sound:

      “Here I come to save the day!”
      That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

      Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right
      Mighty Mouse will join the fight

      On the sea or on the land
      He gets the situation well in hand

    SOOOOO cute!
    This photo is perhaps why, in German, a bat is called a _fledermaus_. :-)

    So, if Superman’s cat is named Streaky, would Mr. Mouse’s name here be Squeaky?

    Never seen a house fly either. Well, maybe in the wizard of oz, but that was just a movie. If my house could fly, I’d fly it to the beach.

    Much cuter than the mouses in my garage eating the bird seed I drop. Although the ones in my garage are pretty cute, but tend to startle me into screaming like a girl.
