You mean Joe Gardner?



Hey, if I'm mocking anyone, I'll sure be in a vulnerable position...in 2 1/2 years. Anyway, it's not repetetive, yet.



(At least I'm celebrating!)

What is the younger generation coming to?

I say no one teach him the secret handshake. Maybe the secret milkshake (Arby's jamocha shake -- 550 calories of pure goodness).

Good to see you over here LBM, you're gonna fit right in. 923 days isn't much of a barrier, most of us can do 923 days standing on our heads.

Some of us have.

You're excited?

Hell, I just wish it had taken as long to go from 45 to 50 as it took to go from 11 to 16.

My calendar sounds like a playing card clothes pinned to my front fork as it is...

And do not forget the Sacred Paddle when you're getting the cape out. Or the candles.

That's what you get for celbrating with sex. I've known better for years.

BTW, you guys better not let me in here. Next thing you know, Chipcom will be right behind me!

Talk about trouble...

Oh $%*^&!, I just forgot what I was going to say...and it was going to be really witty too!
