Dramatically Smart Animals

Every time I see the CarMax Dramatically Smart animals, I laugh.  They're pretty funny to me for some reason.  I have to pay homage to the original: Dramatic Chipmunk posted on YouTube in 2007

I think the cubs fans should have these.

I hope to check it out this week or next week at the latest.

How did we, as a

How did we, as a country, come to think of timeframes in chunks of ten years aka decades?
