I could be a gun. I’m always shooting my mouth off, and people are always telling me I’m full of shot. At least, I _think_ that’s what they’re saying.

See? _That_ was your mistake. _Never_ take a promotion that means _ **more** _ work!

Aw, don’t worry about it! **ShotgunZen** may be a blast, but you rock! Besides, you are The Legendmaker[sup]TM[/sup].

I’m still waiting for the photos, so I can figure out the best approach.

Sure seems that way, doesn’t it?

Is it my birthday, yet? Can I open the aardvark-shaped package, now?

IRL, YES, it is your birthday. But the board seems to lag about 10 minutes behind… 😕

Nope and nope…

Wow this place livens up a lot in the wee hours. I’m going to be up a bit more in the wee hours… I’ll have to pop in and regale you with my exhilirating new lifestyle of pumping pumping pumping and in a few days? or weeks? with my exciting diaper changing and feeding schedules 🙂

Oh and since I hate spending the time and effort and brain power to do any special coding … this is just for the one and only **Davebear**!

Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday Birthday!  
Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday Birthday!  
Happy Happy Happy Birthday!  
Happy Birthday to you!

Your official Bear in the Big Blue House Birthday greeting.

Hey… it’s not the **D.Bear** Birthday here, yet!

Yikes … early predictions have us having Arnie for Governer… I’d feel better about it if it weren’t for the late press discoverys that Right before the push for a recall… Arnie was meeting with the current and former heads of Enron and several other of the energy companies that ripped Calif. off so badly, right after their best buddy became president … they have an 8 Billion dollar law suit Calif. has filed against them … and … now it seems, they have a friend in high places … _sigh_

I feel for you **Wyatt** , and all the other Californicators. 🙂 Look at it this way… if y’all can recall Davis, you can recall Arnold too.

**Dave**!!! Happppppppppy Birthday!!!  
We’re the same age now, right? It’s darn good to be 39 again, ain’t it? 😃  
**Tanookie**!! Welcome back and Congratulations and I owe you an email! And many positive thoughts for baby **Zachanookie** to be home with mommy and daddy and big sister soon.

**Wyatt** , my condolences on your new governor. Love Arnie, the actor. But Arnie, the Republican actor turned Governor? Kinda scares me. Wonder what Ronnie would think about this…

**Jaade** , good to see you! The licking the ice cream standing over the vent visual has me all shivery, too. 😉  
**If6** , wake up, dear, you’re drooling on her shoe. 😃

**optihut** , best of luck! Glad things are looking up for you!

**Maureen** , I have warmed up my tongue and am ready to do my birthday duty. Shall I start at that spot just a bit below and behind the ear and work my way down? Oh, birthday boy, where are you?

**ShotgunZen** , I just love a man who knows how to make a good entrance.

**Maastricht** , come back out and post! You brought all that nice stuff, you need to stay to enjoy it!

**sj2** , come back,too! **Dave** _needs_ more redheads in his life!

**simple dreamer** , I’m so glad you had such a nice birthday celebration!

Hi **Rocky!**

And as for the boots, just the boots, I didn’t take the person up on the offer, but it was very flattering just the same.

Wellesley Pond stories, though, might not be appropriate even here. Let’s just say that the great outdoors has an \*invigorating \* effect on me and I’ll leave the rest up to your very capable imaginations…

Oh my, that was long.

And aside from devastating MM impersonations, and elections, and birthdays, and all that… It’s wonderful to have this thread, where I KNOW I have friends! Besides “Song Title Game” and “Word Association Thread,” it seems that every thread I post to, I just set off a new argument. (Thanks for the back-up tonight, **Salem**. 🙂 ) But in here… I know I can post anything, no matter how bizarre, and y’all will KNOW how I meant it, or at least not take me to task for it! This is a Safe Haven for me, and I want to thank you all for that! 🙂

**Happpppyyy Burthdaaaaayyyy!!**

Dude, I hope it’s a GREAT one! Do they let ya walk around town naked all day on birthdays, like they do here? One piece of advice if you’re out-and-about while naked: avoid heavy machinery with pinch hazards. 🙂
