Make em’ Laugh.

Today's Tids Issue 3,155

Opening Stuff:

A rushing stream ripples through rocks and swirls into quiet pools. A tree shaded stream broad and shallow, clear and crystal waters. It numbs my mind. Just one reason why this will be the shortest  Tids ever, or at least vying for the title.

The Answer:

The Fisher King and Moscow on the Hudson. I’m sure I missed many of your favorites. Or maybe, you just didn’t like Robin Williams.
