    Are we still partying?

    I am anyway!

    Best birthday bash ever.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I didn't realise you worked in a hospice. Long hours and emotionally tiring.

    If this weren't a blokes' thread, where girly stuff like emotion and peer-adulation weren't disallowed on penalty of blackballing, I'd tell you how I feel about people who do it for a living.

    Quite right! Sounds is an awfully decent sort of chap though, and a lovely person to boot...I'm sorry I must have got something in my eye.

    Thank you, sweet man, I love my birthday party thread and my home party with the blokes here

    Maybe I'll do a toasted almond for my birthday...does Parker have a bit of Amaretto in the house, nothing like Kahlua, whipping cream, Amaretto and a few grilled almonds on top

    You bet, you really know how to throw a party!

    Thank you, Paul, it's a bit rough on the back and the nerves; but very gratifying.

    Aw, go on, the guys will forgive you just this once....

    Uh, wait until I stand outside the house; my head is beginning to grow.

    Thank you, no one's ever called me a decent chap; it makes me feel like I "fit in"...I brought my kleenex, would you like the garfield ones or the "stripping" ladies who remove their clothing when you blow your nose?

    Years ago in Paris I bought a pen decorated with nubile young ladies whose bikinis were removed when the pen was upturned. A priapic youth who worked with me was constantly picking it up; in the end I gave it to him.

    I am always getting my pens stollen by workmates; I can't even imagine what it would be like to try and hold on to that pen...do you ever wish you had it back?
    Mr Sounds received a coffee mug that undressed when you poured hot coffee in it; he absolutely refused to use it...I wish someone would have given to me instead

    Wow...okay, I'll start without you

    Went to the hospital with my wife's old Uncle yesterday - flow speed empty tank efficiency check on the old bladder. It's a huge place, (the hospital, not his bladder) - new and clean, (the old hospital was horrible). He's 87 and still going - strong-ish and still uncomplaining and cheerful.

    Despite being new and clean and busy - the hospital is still incredibly boring. Magnolia walls - though fairly relaxing are boring. Hopefully by the time I'm going for a flow speed empty tank efficiency check we'll have incredible palm computers that link us into a 3-d virtual internet arena where we can still partake in martial games which have feelistic - though not painful - quality to them.... hopefully...

    Either that or we just film ourselves at home and they'll do splash calculations on such flow. You never know...

    Well I suspect that it has long run out of ink, which is not as bad as not having enough lead in your pencil.

    Please excuse my brief diversion from the current topic, but I wanted to bring this important bit of infomation to your attention.
    As you well know, one of my responsibilities as a card carrying bloke, is to periodically check in on the TBRC.
    I am happy to report the 10th annual Texas Bigfoot Conference will take place October 30th in Tyler Texas.

    http://www.texasbigfoot.org/

    Unfortunately, I am stuck here in Illinois, so I will not be able to attend.
    However, I will follow up this weekend and try to get my hands on a copy of the meeting minutes.

    In the meantime, perhaps I can locate a similar organization up here in Illinois.
    Regardless of location, we are all "brothers in feet".

    The only think I like about my hospital is that they have a Starbucks coffee stand, a few free computers, soft chairs and some of the individual clinics have good televisions...unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the amount of people coughing on you, the waiting time...it takes about 3 hours to get your medication if everything goes well...and the drive to and fro...

    I try never to have any of those tests on my favorite parts; if they aren't bothering me, I'm sure not blowing water up them, starving for 2 days and taking dozens of enemas, swallowing something that turns to rock in my bowels....

    I used to work for a doctor that had one of those astronaut pens (writes in any direction); one day, someone took his pen, as a joke, he locked himself in his office and refused to see patients until they found his pen.

    Hell yes!

    I am a respected member at Bigfoot Forums!

    I'd love to go to a bigfoot syposium. As long as those goons from the 2008 hoax weren't there. Most 'footers I know are fine people.

    Just a leetle bit eccentric, but in a place like The Blokes' Club, a little eccentricity doesn't go amiss.



    Where the hell do bigfeet hide in Texas? Behind oil wells? In Dallas?
