OH YESS you found the "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12" song! That was one of the hilights of the show for me as a kid; when visiting family, it inspired the tradition on rainy days of my cousin and me spending the better part day constructing elaborate "marble runways" from tape, cardboard, and...

The winner: "HAMMER: The King of Tools".

Yes! Love this as well as all the other Bogey & Bacalls, but this one is special, for good ol' Rico. And those are stunning quality images; this might be awfully tempting for me to start replacing VHS'es with DVDs .
Thanks for posing, Hemingway!

Anyone done work on one, or know if one's in the making?
Anyone have leads or pointers to artists & titles in existance, besides just doing google searches and starting with all the titles/artists in...
