    I know a lot of people will look at this and ask: "Why use a sausage? Why not just use a stylus?" And to me at least the obvious answer is: "Because it's just funnier to use a sausage."

    Love the Secret Genius Series - Series 2 seems to have less breaking of the Fourth Wall and asides which help to make it so engaging. Wonder if Hannah could do a remake/update of James Burke Connections? "Who doesn't love a bit of ginger?" when cooking gingerbread men in the Microwave episode - not sure if scripted but that was absolutely brilliant - the ad libs and occasional faux pas really make it. Looking forward to more episodes.

    Channels as potato TV is not that Xenothreat. Well we know where sausage came from and they be our French. I'm sorry I don't see that too unless it's 4k. That's more than I could possibly have at home 2:34 and this mehanognomes ingenuity obviously means Arthas and the knights of the oval table. After unboxing this I soon be receiving anything with DPD or Omniva, well because this service was not here ten years ago. Can't have everything those Americans have in their movies.
