The crown on the left rotates the inner timing bezel. And am glad someone caught the M.P. reference...;)

I'll have you know some friends and I nearly performed the lumberjack song for a talent show in high school. They got wise during dress rehearsal and we were barred. They were leery of us after our performance the previous year... "Let's Get Physical" done in bondage gear. Needless to say we didn't show our cards during rehearsal.

You should have done the fish slapping bit.Or possibly confuse a cat. A really good bit but not Python was the roman soldiers counting off.I !II! III! IV! V! . I cannot remember who did it.( For Star wars fans only)Why are there no points for effort in the Yodeo ? Because in the Yodeo there is no try only do.

Two crowns are better than "three cheeks", LOL
