Beaker was the bird, correct?

No, he was the lab assistant with the big eyes and the head shaped like a beaker, hence his name.

Oh, I don't know about that. You won't even stand on a table and sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" for my birthday while you're in Vegas. ;-)

I don't think I'd ever seen or eaten Kaboom.

Freakies was my favorite cereal when I was about 5. There was a time when our fridge was covered in Freakies magnets. Neither Freakies nor Pink Panther lasted very long, if I recall.

I still live off sugar. It is a fine, fine fuel!

Well, we are not going to Vegas. So. This weekend I will get naked, get drunk, get on a table, and sing your silly little song. It's the best I can do.
