Apropos of nothing inn particular (he said, with somehow disingenuously nonchalant expression), I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Clothahump and SWMBO a happy 25th wedding anniversary.* May you enjoy another 25** in good health and happiness.
*well, 25th for SWMBO; 300th for Clothy.
**300.
On the one hand it’s somewhat creepy that you track personal details of other board members that closely.
On the other hand, assuming you’ve done the math correctly, I too wish Clothahump a happy 25th. The spouse and I are coming up on 28 years ourselves and as I always say: so far, so good.
Congratulations to all the newbies.
Regards,
Shodan
Here, here!! A silver anniversary is a beautiful thing!! 
I don’t actually track these things. The thread was recently resurrected, and I noticed the date was coming up, so I decided to bide my time.
…he says, thumbing through a battered Rolodex…
The term is “hear, hear”.
Wear?! Wear?!
Their! Their!(Happy Anniversary, that is).
There, there wolf; there, castle.
Well, this happens to be mine and Mrs Doyle’s 34th anniversary too.
Happy anniversary, Clothahump.
Here’s to 25 (300) more.
Thank you very much.
Our big celebration was to go to the Astros game on Sunday. That’s how we got started in the first place was going to an Astros game. I gave her a silver necklace with our initials and the number 25 engraved on it. I was going to give her a bowling pin with the number 300 on it, but wasn’t able to get my hands on one.
We have a standing lunch date during the week. It fell on the actual anniversary day, so I showed up at her office door with a big bunch of flowers. She, in turn, gave me a (silver) gift bag with silver paper and an assortment of all things silver.. She said the duct tape was to hold me together for the next 25 years! 
Sounds lovely, you big softy.
And to keep you quiet. 
which witch doctor zombified this onto the front page, how, and why?
Daddy, what’s a Rolodex?
Usually that happens if a cornfielded spammer bumps it - the bumping post gets removed but the thread remains until it slides off again.
It’s what people used to keep recipes in.

Don’t know. There’s no recent post here before yours.
Since the subject of the thread no longer posts here, it’s probably best to just close this.
