Let me be the first to say Happy Fuckin' Birthday!

Thank you Spongee. Have a beer on me. Or bette yet, have an Absinthe.

I'll be hitting it after work today. I've just been up late due to the snow fall and a chance to go into work late tomarrow.

Happy Birthday!

...

Rats! *I* was going to be using such a picture (edited with, of course, the GNU Image Manipulation Program -- see attachment) -- too late.

But still a heartfelt to the Gimp.

Happy birthday to my favorite Gimp!

Happy B-Day

Happy Bday Le Gimp.

Who the fuck is Gimpy?

And remember-
You're not getting older,
you're getting longer.

Hey Spuck, if you're not a member of this club, you should be.

Happee Brthdey.

Cheers Gimpy, I'm gonna burn a dictionary tonight in your honor.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Just got back from visiting Chris for a church service. (Chris is a step son in law's brother, or something like that). Poor dude is dying of cervical cancer.

Time for some serious consumption.

So he's your dad? At least he doesn't have curvical cancer.

I'm sorry, Gimpy. Are you close with Chris?

Dude ... cervical cancer..??

Whew, now I have something else to worry about!

Hope you had a spuctacular time on your b-day!!

Don't worry, Ballz. Just keep up with your regular pelvic exams.

Cerebrial, not cervical. both begin with a "c" any way. I've not been in the best of shape with it going on along with the deaths of two good friends in four months, and the rest of what is going on. Buddy of mine in the next town just found that his best friend since HS had a 28 year old son die of a heart attack leaving a wife and four kids.

Sorry about that.

Figgered it wasn't his cervix. It kind of seemed beside the point.

With all that's going on, be kind to yourself, dear Spucky.

Thanks Peepers.

I'm drinking 23%abv beer tonight. That ought to do it.

Oh, yea. My son (19) just announced that he is considering going into the Army and trying out for the Sniper program. Not a wise choice of vocations in my opinion.

Hang in there Spuck.

Happy belated birthday Spucky!

I hope things get better for you.

Yea Spuck, I hope things get betterer for you.

Ditto what Peeps said. Cancer seems to be hitting a lot of people near me as well, and most aren't even in their 40's yet. Truly getting scary! Just gotta hang in there and keep being supportive to them no matter what.

As far as a sniper, hell, it has to be better than infantry, right? Reminds me of the time I went snipe hunting -- them motherfuckers!

Hiding out in the clock tower in the middle of town, picking off rednecks, isn't really sniping. It's more like weeding out the ignant.

Being in Amsterdam, I haven't been reading any threads other than the one about ME.
Happy Birthday, Spucky.
We are both fish.

Hang in there, man!!
