Yo, European fans...

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Hey there, a big shout out to O, doctorinthehouse, greggy, and anyone else out there in Europe (mr. riny?  are you still in Europe?  :o)

What's going on over there on your side of the pond?  Everything groovy?  I feel like it's been ages since we had any discussions on whatnot.  With the election over, I'm wondering how you guys are perceiving things...not to mention just checking in with y'all to see what's up.

Chime in and report for duty, you Knights of the Jacket Table! :)

[dogandponyshow]

Equally curious.....anything happening on your side of the Atlantic that we need to know about.

Apart from getting a year older overnight, bugger all is happening Up North.

Due to this I may fabricate something for later.

Apart from getting a year older overnight,

Happy birthday to you  :D

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

hey, everyone say happy birthday to greggy!

on this side of the pond, all is well.  looking at a new house tonight in louisville, the wife is progressing nicely towards having a healthy and wonderful daughter, the son just got enrolled in a great technology school, and if I could scrounge a few more bucks a month, I'd just about have perfection.

how are you?

[The Boar]

Best wishes greggy on your birthday :)

[dogandponyshow]

Enjoy the day....

Happy birthday dude.

Celebrating mine tomorrow (the 7th). Twenty-bloody-three years old. 23!?!?! Getting old.

Well, I'm not actually celebrating tomorrow. The party was last weekend. Or so i'm told. It's all a bit foggy. We tried to play the alaphabet drinking game. I'm really struggling to remember anything after about V.

[EC]

Yay!  Happy Birthday greggy!

John, glad to hear your Mama's doing well.  And also glad to hear about your son.  Bucks will find their way... somehow...

(I don't actually REALLY know that bucks will come your way, but you seem good, and the Universe takes care of the good ones in it's own special way...  I hope.)  :)

[SMc55]

I'm really struggling to remember anything after about V.

V!!!

You did well to remember up till then. I'm impressed  ;)

Have a cool day tomorrow.

[CC]

yeah, still in europe.

like said, bugger all is happening.

are you all talking about V,
like in scared the shit out of me when i was a kid V?

[EC]

Ha ha, that's what I thought, too!

(I guess WE'RE the old ones.)

[SMc55]

You mean that weird alien-reptile programme? That was scary.

Old Billy (23 today, poor soul) played a drinking game at the weekend. He remembers everything up to the letter V - an astonishing feat at any age  ;)

Happy birthday Billy  :)

And I'm not ignoring your question, John. When something happens I'll let you know. There are rumours here of an election soon.

Hmm, Holland... We're having media telling us that we're in a civil war with muslims, a prime minister who is a dick, was a dick, and will always be a dick and we're sitting here in our stupid little country watching big  powerful countries being equally, or even more, stupid. So, that was the Dutch news flash! :)

So I'm becoming less and less interested in politics, also because I'm getting the idea that people aren't even capable of properly organising their own life, let alone an entire world. This idea obiviously came from looking at myself and the people around me. :)

Then what is left for us to do then just keep on screwing around a bit? Nothing, I guess. And well, as long as there is music...

[marktwain]

Hey, John,  come down to the Creek!

O- I hear there's a big controversy over euthanasia there now.  (Not that that's the most fun topic of conversation.  Actually, forget I said anything!  How's the love life?)

[EC]

roll down the windows and open our mouths taste where we are and play the music loud

(hey tundra, where's your quote from?)

[ben grimm]

Nothing happening in Liverpool, nothing worth talking about anyway.
Happy Birthday Greggy.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

tundra, do you mean "knob creek" ?  ;)

yo, all you folks over there should get together and party.  or at least raise a pint to greggy's birthday (yesterday, but hey)...

[marktwain]

Sorry, forgot to wish Greggy a happy birthday--Happy Birthday, Greggy!!  I think I'll head down to Bardstown Rd and have a sip or 2 at Cumberland Brews in your honor (at least, that's my excuse!)

EC - quote's from "So Much Beauty in Dirt" by Modest Mouse, one of my absolute favorite songs.  Here's a website just for you: http://www.leglamp.com/

[EC]

Okay.  Two weird things.

1)  I was sure that your quote was from a book called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower".  Instead it's from Modest Mouse that everyone is telling me (for years my brother has been trying to get me) to listen to.  Why aren't I?  Hell, I don't know.

2)  The leg lamp.  That is the 2nd time in under 24 hours that I have been introduced to a website that sells leg lamps.  How is it possible that I didn't know about it before?  I want one.  Here's the link to the other one:  www.redriderleglamps.com  Are you getting one?  I kind of think I should.
