Mr. Lala

Over here at Herding Cats, we've only been subject to one annoying children's television program so far, and that is "Teletubbies". Something about this show just entrances the Branch and the Blossom. On weekends when it doesn't air, they reach up and slap the TV screen as if to invoke these encephalatic, gibbering creatures. Pictured left to right are Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala and Po. They are always, always announced in this order. Po never gets to be first and Tinkywinky is never in the middle or last. Must be written in stone somewhere.

Anyway, we headed to the local Walgreen's this evening to take advantage of some of the specials touted in the Sunday circular. And I kid you not, the managers name was Mr. Lala. I saw his name tag, so I am NOT making this up!
