Think big head on little body in toy car. Noddy was my childhood friend, along with Andy Pandy, while I was < 5yrs old, in the UK, in the form of string puppets. Noddy actually has a web site - http://www.noddy.com – if you want the full saccharine experience. But the image Dara invoked for me was just priceless. I guess I have more context.

As for the stick – make it a big one, please.

Thanks, Greg.
