So, Max, are you receiving all these goodies, as you should be? (My check should have arrived by now....)

Big Mick made a request here on his "Happy Birthday" thread: Mick's birthday list! He wants people to send extra money to Mudcat as a birthday present. What a great idea! Here's another thought: send a contribution to Mudcat, as a birthday present, for each birthday thread one posts to! (That oughtta keep Joe Offer from being too annoyed about those threads!) Lessee, now, maybe a buck a thread times how many birthday threads per year...?
