> [@gfloyd](#): > > July 19th, I hate to inform you, is my day. I’ve owned if for, well 20 years. One retchedly hot day in July of 1985, I was born. Ergo, I have prior right. > > Oh well, you can take. All but about three of them have been miserable. Although if you were responsible for the events of last year’s birthday, I will not be happy. It’s really an amusing story, now that we’ve all lived through it. But I digress. Although you may have had previous ownership, it was presented to me as a gift in good faith. Since possession is nine tenths of the law, I bid you good day, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY. Esprix ---
