Happy birthday, Slythe, one day late. I’m sorry. I really did intend to post this yesterday, but work got hectic and I didn’t get the chance.  
Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful day and will enjoy many more to come. Here’s a toast to you!

Happy Birthday, slythe! Hope you had a great day, many more to come and all that. Now, should I be naked? 😉

Silver, honey, we have to talk. This getting naked thing is starting to concern me, and since I love you dearly, I felt I should speak up. After all, you are intelligent, witty and a beautiful person, and you should be appreciated for these things as well as for your propensity for getting naked.

Right?

No? You are having fun and want me to MYOB?

Oh, I almost forgot-

Happy Birthday, Slythe, and may you have many, many more!

And thank you for all the hard work you put in on this, the best little message board in the universe!

Thanks for the concern, Scotti! And, yes, you are a great friend. You’re right. I’m intelligent, sweet, witty, and beautiful, and I should be recognized and appreciated for these things as well. That’s it! No more naked posting for me. 🙂

Thank you everyone!

My dearest Silver Fire, you should _always_ be naked.😉

As a present, can someone tell me where I can find a copy of Allan Sherman’s _The Rape Of The A_P_E_"\*? I know there’s a copy at e-bay, but that auction is past $40 already, and climbing.

Thanks for offering me asylum, hon! Sorry it took me so long to get here, but it took me awhile to don my disguise. How do you like the beard and the eyebrows? I snuck right through the angry mob outside my door, and no one even looked at me twice.

What do you mean, you don’t blame them?

Hey, I can come up with 'em at any time. I even composed a poem for Homer’s non-flushing poop thread…which, come to think of it, is where most of my poetry belongs.

Well _my_beard doesn’t come off. So there!
