That was AWESOME. Ha ha ha. Holy cow. Excellent find. I’m glad that the blocks were introduced slowly, so we could watch the threads unravel into crazytown bit by bit. That was marvelous. My favorite was probably the fire extinguisher at the end.

That made my day. I’ve just been inspired to teach crazy English from now on. Perhaps I should make some flash cards of my own.
