    Happy Birthday!
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    No, If You Go Away is ne me quitte pas in English - Brel is the original.

    Which LitNet members would you like to meet in person if you could?

    Oh, now is the part where I leave people out unintentionally, so, the first thing one needs to ask, is where.

    Anywhere, probably JinJang, Silas Thorne, Crystalmoonshin, Neely, EyeMaker, Limajean, Bazarov, Etienne, amongst others.

    Outside the US - Mortalterror, St. Lukesguild, Virgil, DrkShadow -


    Come on JBI... don't tell me you need the home field advantage to deal with Mortal, Virgil, or me?!!

    Happy Birthday!

    Happy Days, JBI.

    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    Believe it or not, JBI, some of us Americans don't even own a gun... in spite of living in one of those "crime infested" big cities. Of course my in-laws have a descent sized arsenal... so if the need were ever to arise...

    Don't show any weakness, StLukes. Letting people know you're unarmed is just asking for trouble. Tell everyone your house is surrounded by landmines!

    Yes, but I know if we had a conversation, I'd say something that, being overheard by those select few who do own a gun, would most certainly get me shot. No need to shove my hand in a beehive.

    Happy Belated Birthday, JBI! I am very sorry to have missed this yesterday.
    Me in the list? I am actually blushing crimson red.

    You like Jacques Brel?

    Please check out Léo Ferré. Do you know him? He was a French poet, composer, and singer. His poems are full of metaphors and even after translations they are not obvious to understand all. Let me offer this as a BD present:

    I know him, but don't particularly care for him - my favorite of that sort of time period is Jean Ferrat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdRZL...om=PL&index=23
