It’s this monday ( same as PLdennison) Whatcha gonna get me? Remember, price is no object and frankly, I can be bought and had. ( But not at the same time) I shall sit back and wait with anti-ci-pation. Oh, and for Phil’s birthday,(showing my benevolent side) my virtual birthday gift is a pair of life long never expiring train/bus passes for the DC area and a life time subscription to Skeptical Inquirer. ---

Oh, I travel in exhalted circles. We should get together and start a Doper birthday club or something. Birthday cake. Birthday suits. That sort of thing . . . ---

Yeah Phouka! Too bad Denny’s discontinued the Free Birthday meal thing. For your birthday, I’d like to give you the gift of a brand new PT Cruiser, free gasoline for the rest of your life and a large hot tub, complete with a lava lamp. Colin, why I would _love_ a 60" plasma screen tv. You are SOOOOOOOOOOO sweet! ( Hey, can you program my VCR to stop flashing 12?) ---

For your birthday, Shirley, I’m hiring you a maid & chef for a year, so that you can spend more time on the boards where you belong. Heck, let’s make that for life. Also, a life-time supply of thong-panty liners! 🙂 And I’m the only one who thinks we should get presents on our kid’s birthdays, too? You know, in celebration of having survived childbirth? Sorry, had to ask. Happy Birthday, PL, Phouka and Shirley! ---
