well, hermano, it's a bit late 😞 but i still want to toast you and wish you a wonderful __ __st/nd year of life on this whacky ol' earth.

huzzah!!

so here's to you, my good friend. i hope you had an excellent birthday. though it was on the 11th (now i know *takes notes*), i suggest that you take this entire week to celebrate. have a great cigar every night, as copious amounts of alcohol as you can, and may every pleasure be yours -- that should cover a whole plethora of vices. 😃

i wish you good health and much wealth, fine cigars and a fine family to nag you about them. i wish you peace in your heart, prosperity in your wallet and deep-down, soul-contented joy all the days of your life.

SALUD!

Wow!! Kinda seems like a rip-off to follow that up with "Happy Birthday".

But I did it anyway. Happy Birthday blood man!

MACS, he's always had a way with words.

Thank you & it's real nice to make your acquaintance! Welcome to the boards!

PS: Take it easy on Rickamaven--he's an acquired taste. Kinda like sushi.

Tony, don't you go losing any more body parts--unless it's a gold tooth! Thanks again bro.

Bloodmeister... Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! (Thats Happy Birthday auf Deutch)

Glad to have you aroud the forum. You bring a good sense of humor with and seem to be able to keep Rick at bay! LOL

Gracias Chipo!

Missed talking to you. We gotta catch up! Now, I'll just pick up my cane, adjust my Depends, & skedaddle over to a bar. Yeah I wish!

HBD Blood!!!!

Hog

happy belated bday!

Yea whateva, Aloha Blood...

Yo Blood: Here in Philly we use the word " Blood " when we hold someone in high regard. I have enjoyed all your posts especially your first post when you jumped in with both feet and landed on Rickamaven, LMAO. Have a belated Happy Birthday. JonR

Thanks Liz! You're very sweet--so are you, you big Hawaiian "aloha boy" you!

Thanks for your sentiments as well, JonR. There's no accounting for mental illness--mine not Rick's!

I try to be sweet. Who wants to be sweet and take both Clive and my colds away for us - oh pretty please!!! It will only keep you up coughing all night, make you feel like last months garbage, only lasts a week or two, so it's not really all that bad. really.... 😛

Liz, are you CW's significant other? Forgive me if I am slow.

Yep, she is 🙂 I got her started on cigars to end the wrinkled nose at my cigar smoke! LOL Her first was an ISOM H. Upmann Especiale! You ever try those????

MACS, you're not slow. You caught on faster than I did.

CW, I'm beside myself.

No, not because you forgot to wish me a happy whatever, but because I had NO idea that lovely flower was your wife!

I cringe when I remember some of my impudent remarks--telling her to sit down & put her top back on when she was excited at the thought of herfin'... SORRY Liz, I thought you were SINGLE, wild, & crazy!

Maybe that's why when I was a single man I always had a healthy crimson glow-- from all the face slappings!

Mea culpa!

Now I know y shes so mad, WoW...

I have that effect on people, Pablo.

yous awfully bloody to me, must be that time of the month...

C-dub, been with my wife since I was 18. She is a great woman and I got her on the porch with me also. She hasn't smoked a whole one on her own yet, but comes out when I am smoking and begs for a puff or two... then goes over to the grass and spits... then comes back and asks for another puff. ??? Women. You can't live with them and you can't shoot 'em... pass the beer nuts.

And all you perverts about to comment on the wife's spitting habit... good on ya'!! That's the first thing that popped into my mind too!!

OOPS, My oversight! Happy belated birthday Blood!

Liz and I aren't official yet. I got separated from my wife back in June of '02, and still waiting for the paperwork drill to be over with :/ but it's on the agenda!

Blood, I assure you Liz nor I took any offence! Liz like being "one of the boys" (to a point) and is very good natured and has a killer sense of humor! She doesn't drive, si she spends most of the day cooped up in the house, and she often smokes more gars than I do now! (I don't smoke them at work, no place to sit, and not enough time to relax and enjoy 'em!)

You gotta make Senior Chief Clive. I have all the time in the world to smoke at work when I feel like it. Of course I don't really have a job to do... other than telling others.
