Re: Happy Birthday Lester Curtis!
Wow, you mean there's something fresh about me at my age? I must be special!You keep me in stitches with your slightly off kilter humor and fresh perspective on things.

Thanks to all of you for the nice words . . . uh, now, remind me what I'm doing here . . .

I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?

We might speculate that you are well-preserved due to immersion in alcohol, but there's something about your avatar that makes us hesitate... So, does the fire department have a pumper standing by when you light your candles?Lester Curtis wrote:Wow, you mean there's something fresh about me at my age?

Missed me! (Unless that was just a warning shot...)

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Who said I was well-preserved, anyway? It wasn't my magic mirror, I know that much. Can't do the candles anymore; I'm so dried up, I'm afraid I'd catch fire, and I'd never be able to blow 'em all out!Robert_Moriyama wrote: We might speculate that you are well-preserved due to immersion in alcohol, but there's something about your avatar that makes us hesitate...

I guess I can drink all I want, then. I'm too broke to be taxed!Wormtongue wrote:Happy birthday, Lester. Remember: indulging in strong drink can lead to shooting at tax collectors. And missing!

BTW, Our city bus company once gave a 106-year-old man a Lifetime Pass, as a birthday present. (yeah, thanks TARC!)
