Shosho - my wife always calls family and sings on their birthday - great tradition.
Andre - hope you are having a GREAT birthday.
Hello all - I have been absent for a while, it is good to be back and see that not much has changed from the little bit I saw on page 1!!

Seems some things never change - I show up, and the site goes dead!!

Jerry, Ian & Angie - I heard the nominations closed in February 2009--so he got the Nobel for about a month's "work"..! Can't believe there's no one else in the world deserving of the Nobel that ACTUALLY did something (besides give a few speeches...

Hi, "Grandpa Jamie"!! Congratulations!!

We used to call our kids and sing to them on their birthdays, but now we text it! Even better, though , the grandkids call and sing Happy Birthday to US now! Nothing like a rousing, off-tune rendition to begin the day!

February 1, Colo Jim.

I nominate Ferdinand Waldo Demara.

It would be appropriate justice if some former Nobel winner returned the prize, objecting to the politicization of a nearly-sacred honor.

Good afternoon to all! I think that is Long John Silver's parrot stunt-double!

Welcome back Jamie!
Gosh Keith, I hadn't noticed you were gone!

Given today's soapbox subject....
A man is driving down a country road, when he spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side
of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.

A city couple went for horse riding lessons while on holidays. The cowboy preparing the horses asked the wife whether she wanted a Western saddle or an English saddle, and she asked what the difference was. He told her
one had a horn and one didn't.
She replied, "The one without the horn is fine. I don't expect we'll run into too much traffic."

Thank you everyone for your lovely wishes x I have been spoilt rotten today and it has been quite wonderful. I'm very lucky to have two incredible kids, and my family who mean the world to me, in every way x I'm getting a bit soppy now, could be the wine, the food stain down my front or just because...anyway thank you xx

and billy, thank you for your surprise, they were lovely...just like you xxx

What puzzles me is how some get Nobel prizes for work done entirely by other people - and - they don't understand the work they present as theirs.
It's become a laugh.

Just wait until Islamic suicide bombers blow up a building in Oslo.

In a possibly-related item, American PBS will show "How Sweet the Sound" next week, a film/music bio of Joan Baez. It's scheduled for Wednesday on most stations. It's part of the American Masters series produced by PBS in New York.

The DVD/CD will be released the day before.

BREAKING NEWS: Obama awarded 7 more Nobel Peace Prizes to cover March-October!!!

I understand the Nobel Prize in Economics is going to Charlie Rangel...

I thought you were talking about Al Gore. Now I understand that you are talking about Obama. The nobel peace prize has suddenly become one for American politicians of the right persuasion.

When the US was embroiled in the Civil War, the Congressional Medal of Honor went to every man in the 27th Regiment, Maine Infantry, who extended his enlistment, by as little as four days. Then it was awarded to everybody in the Regiment-- about 850 guys. (They were revoked in the next More...

From the Cliff notes on Gulliver's Travels...

"It is the Lilliputian court custom that men seeking political office demonstrate their agility in rope dancing, among other things. How long and how skillfully a candidate can dance upon a rope determines his tenure in office. Of the More...

Fascinating, stimulating place, this...

I think the discussion has stifled any activity here today.

In searching for Padang earthquake news I have become aware of an across-the-media decision to currently, suddenly, inform us that "25% OF THE WORLD IS MOSLEM". Through that we must all be, without exception, now fully aware that there are 1.57 billion Moslems in the world. What is the More...

My apologies to anyone (especially old timers) who may be offended by this joke.

To all of you "old timers" and "soon to be old timers" as well as anyone in the medical profession...take note...never jump to conclusions:

Police officer pulls over a car for a breath test.
He explains to the driver what he needs.
His wife says "What did he say?"
The driver says, "I need to do a breath test."
When he has finished the officer says, "You have a cracked tail light."
The wife More...

Good afternoon all.
