Your first thread, my 2000th post…what more could one want from a thread? ---

ShadowWarrior, I will volunteer to be the departed if you will all pay homage to me and get drunk on Irish whiskey and sing true Irish folk songs. Throw any sober folks out. Blackeyes, you can still have your cake and evict too. ---

Hey Blackeyes. Mind if I come in? I see it’s your First time posting and that’s a pretty good reason for a party. I think many occasions are good for a party - the holidays for instance (New Years, Fourth Of July, Washington’s Birthday, etc…). So this does seem like a hospitable get together. I promise not to get too rowdy and cause a scene like the last party I went to. Are your neighbors cool? I hate it when they get all pi$$y and call the police. It’s a drag when the cops come and break things up just because of someone gets a little out of hand. So, I didn’t even park on anyone’s lawn this time, and I swear I won’t do any damage to your walls either - OH! and I promise NO drunken singing at the top of my lungs. I promise I’ll be good! So what do you think? So Flamsterette\_X, you gotta put on that Danny Gatton Album. He was a great guitarist, even if he was not very well known. I don’t know many people who have copies of his tunes nevermind even know who he is! ---

Well, I hate to crash a party, but today is my Birthday, so I was looking for something just like this…round of shots? I left my bagpipes in the car (helluva drive) but I’m always up for show tunes! Who’s up for a chorus line? ---

Well Happy Birthday! As it happens, this thread started on _my_ birthday. I think the cake might be stale by now, but I’ll do a shot with ya. Tequila? ---

Criminy, we got the tunes today! I feel like it’s obscenely early for Christmas tunes, but let me throw back the Jose, and we’ll talk about it in a sec… Limes ready? Salt ready? Let’s toast to something, what should it be? ---
