Flurry is quite smitten.

And HD is highly upset because I found someone better than his idol, old Iron LooQ

Sorry Boys, both of your women are indeed attractive, however,

Hedy Lamarr is possibly the most beautiful woman to have ever graced the planet with the imprint of her foot.

Beautiful Face, Beautiful Body, Beautiful Mind

That invention BTW, is one of the landmarks that makes todays Cellular technology available...!

Sheesh, didn't you just have a birthday last year??

Well, I hope you have a lovely birthday this year, anyway!!!

I would use a fancy font for your birthday wishes but I've got a bad stomach ache and don't feel like it. It's probably stomach cancer.

I hope xshub and xskids make you something to eat other than hot dogs on your birthday...

Potation, potation, why was I such a potator last night?

Good afternoon all - I can not believe I stayed up and tangled with an idiotic anti-smoker half the night.

I would have been better off had I really been the potator I was accused of being!!!!!

One potator two potator...

Me too. Start with the beer and Brahms and it's nearly impossible to stop.

Maybe that's where my stomach ache came from.

Nope let's not. Now that you're thirty you must act more responsible.

Like I said - I would probably feel better had I been inbibing as much as I was accused of last night.

At least I would have had a productive justification for staying up half the night!!!!
