Thank you so much!

Wow -- a Mafioso older than me! I thought for sure that the Aphelion Mafia Lifestyle was fatal by a Certain Age not far from my own. But Lester prob'ly treats Death and Grim Reapers like revenooers nosing around his still -- fires a couple'a warning shots over their shoulders (and if their heads happen to get in the way, too bad). (I think Dick Cheney mistook his hunting buddy for a Reaper, what with viewing the world through Tea Party-colored glasses.)
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Wow. He must have freakishly long arms to reach all the way from, er, the South 40, to Bush's mouth...Mark Edgemon wrote:Robert_Moriyama wrote:(I think Dick Cheney mistook his hunting buddy for a Reaper, what with viewing the world through Tea Party-colored glasses.)
He was aptly named.
The legend of his Afro American hand was a misnomer, when in fact, it's brownish discoloration came about through 8 years of puppeteering George W, the wooden-headed face of President Cheney.

Re: Happy Birthday to Lester Curtis
Thanks again, everyone -- and BD -- yes, the birthday gifts just get better every year.
When you're a kid, it's "Wow, a model car (or something)!" Then later it might be, "Wow, a new briefcase (or whatever)!"
These days, the gift is the same every year, but keeps increasing in value:
"Wow, I'm still BREATHIN'!"

"Doff clean underwear?" What is this, the Magic Lester male revue? Methinks you meant "don clean underwear". Or, if your valet is named Frank, "Frank! Clean underwear!"rick tornello wrote:Another revolution about a star completed

just doff clean underwear.
(btw keep the finger out of the trigger guard until you're ready to use it. A gun is always loaded).

Rick, I always observe proper trigger discipline.
Underwear? Maybe someday I'll need Depends, but for now, I go commando -- if I wear anything at all. I always wear my glasses, at least . . .
