I'm sorry, Joe hates these birthday threads and even if Shambles does think he's a total asswipe, I like to keep him happy. I generally never refer to him as anything stronger than a tool. And Max is probably a bit down anyway after we here at Ohio State kicked Penn States ass this weekend and he lost our bet. Come to think of it I should have bet Pene/Jeff as well!!! So to appease Joe and make sure this birthday thread isn't a long list of similar good wishes.................
MUDCAT YOU CAN KISS MY ASS
See, that was pretty mild but the fact is that I kinda' like the old place..........I came here in late '98 and those denizens who lived here then and the newer ones who live here now have seen me and my family through so much............**can't even get into it**..........You know what I mean.
Many of us have benefitted from the friendships made here and know the real power that Mudcat has. There were those wonderful nights of Mudcat Radio and the Great Mudcat Tour, and all those cross pond visits and annamils first gathering and Wyzzy's gatherings too, Sinsull's Song Circles....and of course the Getaway that became a Mudcat event thanks to the friendship of those 'catters who belong to the FSSGW...........There were so many good times and bad times and all sorts of "times" in between.........And those years brought us friends and took them away. I can't think of this "birthday" without thing of Murray, BruceO, LR Mole, Little John Cameron, and of course Rick Fielding................................................
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUDCAT and thanks to ya' Max for all these years and all these folks.
