Boom De Yada
I love XKCD. I say that a lot don't I. I can't help myself. I have to say it again. I love XKCD! If you see the comic below and don't get it right away then you have to watch this completely wonderful commercial by the Discovery Channel.
This may sound crazy but when I watch this video I think that no matter what is going on in my personal life, there is this whole great big world out there, ready for me to explore. It makes me feel better and truthfully brings some tears to my eyes. The world is just awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've watched that video. And to see it with the nerd slant at XKCD. Well... again, the world's a brilliant place. Boom De Yada!
I love XKCD too, but I didn't get this one until I read your post, so thanks. Oh, and thanks for making me tear up like a sap over the commercial. Yay world! :)

I'm glad I could introduce you to the video Jeff! I watch it more times than I care to admit. Yay world!
Elaine, did you see the commercial here? If so I'm glad I could introduce you to it. If not then you are surely already a fan. Yay world! :-)

Yes, I'd love to have money to travel the world, but I want to travel in luxury. I'm spoiled that way. :-)
And thanks about the background. I think it is perfect for summer.

I'm so glad that so many people are discovering (hee... DISCOVERing) this commercial. Of course now I guess it is confession time. I don't watch as much Discovery Channel as I should. Like hardly any. But I still think the world is just awesome!

I can assure you that for the rest of the day I'll have "Barack Me Obamadeus" in my head. Hilarious.
Oh, yeah, and I'll just hop onboard the bandwagon of wusses who teared up during the Discovery Channel commercial. *grabs tissue*

I love that commercial every time I see it on TV - I didn't know it was on YouTube. Now I must watch it over and over again. Love.

That is one of my favorite XKCD strips. And the commercial is awesome, it always puts me in a better mood.
