I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

You people clearly don't have iPhones, which can now be stacked to the gunwales with time-wasting apps.  I haven't done any actual work in over a month!

Being me has advantages and disadvantages.  Be careful what you wish for.  Sometimes, being me is a right, royal pain in the arse.

My boss hates you, he just doesn't know it yet.

That should counter-balance the self-loathing commensurate with a management position.

Here are just a few of the key ingredients: dynamite, pole vaulting, laughing gas, choppers - can you see how incredible this is going to be?

If you can't get to 1000ft then you just ain't trying hard enough (or wasting the proper amount of time).

I apologize in advance.

2 hours of my life GONE thanks to "Down Under".  Anyone else figure it out yet?  My solution was nuts.

Yeah, I finally beat them all. Wait till "Unpossible". It's a real bitch. "Four Balls" took forever, too.

I think, all in all, I spent about ten hours on that over the past few days.

That's the best timewaster I've seen in a long time. Of course I didn't figure out until #10 or so that you could drag the critical piece around the construction box, so I was building my contraptions around where that piece started.

I thought you were more of a vasectomy type.  Sorry, ma'am.

Terrible way to explain this, but you need to create something to roll over and crawl around the ball, making it roll backwards until the object has been delivered....

At least, that is how my kids showed me it worked last night.
It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.

I think this might have some solutions.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Better yet on big ball, beat the ball to the spot. Best accomplished by stacking fast cars.

I still can't get past Tube.  Help?

I presume there's no Vasectomy level later.

Make a box with wheels that turn toward the side they're touching... it'll give the climbing effect. If necessary create a "stopper" triangle to plug the bottom. There's just enough of a bulge at the bottom for it to catch.
