    LOL @txcoastal1

    I didn't know Hello Kitty was so old.
    I swear I never heard of it when I was a kid.
    I disabled signatures.

    on second thought -- no. :p

    I am pleased to hear that "Mr. Sanrio" is still with us at age 95. I thought this was going to be a sadder thread. Meanwhile -- where's @afterburnt ?

    You thinks that's disturbing, you should see my "Wall of Dali" it's simply nightmarish.

    As stated earlier @verb, he’s not dead, just retired. 😉
    The founder of the Japanese company that created Hello Kitty has announced he is stepping down as CEO aged 92.

    Shintaro Tsuji said he would hand over control of Sanrio to his 31-year-old grandson, Tomokuni Tsuji.

    It marks the first change in leadership in the company's six-decade history.
    Alea jacta est!
