doesn't the Orion logo intro make you feel good? doesn't it make you feel like a little kid again? don't you miss it? it makes me want to call my Mom. it makes me want to build rubber-band guns and eat Ritz crackers...it makes me want to eat pizza with my brother and sister and Mom. it makes me want to ride in a big blue van. it makes me want to sleep in a sleeping bag surrounded by my friends in their own sleeping bags. kind of makes me sad...
