LMAO THE HAT! The Hat! The hat! the hat. Now THAT is hilarious. **IF6** The woman in the add. Can I look at that sort of thing at work? **Simple Dreamer** I know you are married (with a house full of hopefully no longer sick kiddo’s) That was a general inquiry about the footwear. Are us guys wasting our money on flowers (yes I remember the great flower debate of page 4). Should we pick up the lady and take her directly to her favorite shoe procurement establishment? As I recall that sort of thing didn’t work so well for StuddMuffin. As I said, random thought :). ---

**Jaade** , honey, much as I will miss chasing after your many charms myself… you need to get this marriage thing with **Rocky** off the ground, right now! Cuz he is losing it!

Oooh great! The pictures from yesterday are here! Gather 'round everyone! Oooh, here’s the one where **Wyatt** held that stunning speech on stage.

WOW!!wowowowowowowowow… \*\* _hands Mo a nice cold Cherry Pepsi_ Yeah, it was a pretty good birthday, overall. Between you guys buying me a **PPH** and the Sox beating the Skankees, that kind of made up for some bad news I received, earlier. My sister sent me some presents, too, including a book on Sensual Massage, but I’m told I don’t really need that book. And, Sherri took me out to dinner, but the only thing that got naked was my fish. (We went to the seafood chain Naked Fish.) We came back to my place, afterward, for dessert, but dessert was just some of the birthday cake I made for myself. But, she told me she’d ordered me the Indiana Jones DVD box set, as a birthday present, but it hadn’t arrived, yet. Actually, I don’t think it’s going to be released until November, but it was nice, if somewhat oblivious, of her. I love the first and third movies of that series. Anyone else think the second one was pretty nasty? > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by peritrochoid \* > \*\*Well, **6** , I haven’t _seen_ any aliens yet.

You’d need to be missing several teeth and about 50 IQ points. Besides, I’m thinking that, if it’s bizarre sexual experimentation you’re looking for, your bride-to-be, **Jaade** , would probably be willing to acommodate you on that score, if you asked her nicely. I’m not really sure “deserving” a **PPH** is actually a compliment, but I’ll take it that way, anyhow. So, thanks! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by if6was9 \* > \*\*I’m on my second anniversary of my 39th birthday… you got a friggin problem with that? 🙂 > > Also… Like I’m gonna pick up stray hats! :rolleyes: > > And lastly… SOX WIN!!!

Well, now that the papers are done and I’ve gotten my 1.5 hours of sleep, I’m ready to roll on this whole Birthday thing. What? Whaddya mean I missed it? I was doing the can-can and wearing hats. Strategically placed hats, I might add. Hmmpf, I miss all the good stuff. Oh well, anyone’s head cold? Need a hat? **Dave** , glad you had an overall good time. Hope the news you got wasn’t too bad, though. Niiiiiice hat. Next BoDopefest, I promised pictures of you in that! Why is such a nice boy as **Rocky** seeing aliens, now? Isn’t there some nice native girl that could take him away? **Optihut** , thank you for the birthday wishes, that was very sweet, but it’s not actually my birthday yet. (Although I can see how you would have gotten that from my post) Neither **Dave** nor I have really been 39 for, well, let’s just say a few years now. But I stopped counting at 39. Now I just celebrate the anniversary of my 39th birthday, but not til February. I’ll be 6 years old then. 😃 **Wyatt** , your man-giggle was the manliest giggle ever. teehee. Nice aardvark, too. teehee 😉 And **Maureen** , oooh, you lucky woman, you. No one has buckled my knees in a loooooooooooooong time. ---

I understand you were busy onstage and all but… 🙂 By the way I wanted to tell you how cool the announcer posts were. Very cool.
