My New Favorite Thing – Daffy Duck, The Wizard

On my birthday yesterday, the internet brought forth its bounty. And that bounty was good. I posted about the behind-the-scenes look at Shatner recording Iron Man yesterday, and I couldn’t possibly have a new favorite thing in the whole of that day, as it was spoken for. But today, I will show you the awesomeness…
