Thank you. Sorry I didn't get it up sooner, I'm pretty bad at technology, sadly.

I swear - one of these days, I will figure you people out. Major Tom was my first choice, but I thought, "Oh, no, that will sheep - either that or Jenny's number," Wrong as usual. :oops:

That's what I get for going with one of my favorite songs, instead of one of the unused answers. :roll:

What an appropriate choice by me to rename the SHEEP a TURKEY! YIKES! Giant shakeup there. But don't fret! There are plenty more surprises in store . . .

And it was 20 years too late! I was hoping he did the original too -- I just couldn't think of who did, so I thought it might have been possible. I thought of It's Not Unusual a little while after submitting, then She's a Lady 5 or 6 minutes after the deadline passed. Nowhere to go but up!

That song has come up at least 20 times in the Pointless app. I really, really, really should have known that one.

Can we stop now? I'm on the podium. I don't think I've ever been on the podium. The view is amazing.
Teems with quiet fun.
