I seriously laughed so hard during the "Birthdays" segment today. Anthony Daniels (C-3PO from Star Wars) had a birthday, and Frank remarked that Heidi had never seen Star Wars, so she wouldn't care. She was instantly adamant that she still knew who C-3PO was and proceeded to make R2D2 noises to confirm her vast Star Wars knowledge. Classic! Thanks Heidi, you make my commute on the 10-West bearable :) On this particular day in history...
