Subject: RE: BS: Happy "File-Under-B-Day", Rapaire!!! From: Severn Date: 13 Feb 09 - 08:24 PM Inde-fence-ably late (or is that overdue, but then that's getting into fine-points), but heartfelt wishes for a good birthday and a long shelf-life from one who was sometimes known as The Libarian Incongruous of The Library Of Digress. I'll sing a few verses of "The Dewy Decimals Of Yarrow" in your honor, keeping the volumes down, of course. May your dreams never be de-filed! Not even around the edges. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: gnu Date: 12 Feb 09 - 04:03 PM Yeah? Bring it on. You might have the firepower, but I got the accuracy. Minds me of my Bro at CENTAG HQ Europe. He was carrying a 9 and the Yank post, seeing he was blue, asked him if he knew how to use it. Bro replied, "In the RCAF, we are not issued without ability." Hehehehee. I know. You could Clampett me. But, I'm just funnin. Bro would give you a go, tho, if he was still able. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: Rapparee Date: 12 Feb 09 - 09:01 AM All I can say is how whelmed I am by all the good wishes and the occasional threat and/or insult. Those people know who they are and what will happen to them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: Rapparee Date: 11 Feb 09 - 10:31 PM I'm up, but I'm going to bed in very few minutes. I posted those pictures earlier -- the one of the people shooting really IS my staff, specifically my Supervisors. And that little movie really IS how we deal with those who keep books overdue. You only need to do it a couple of times.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 Feb 09 - 03:24 PM Are there any cartoons of libraries as coffee shops? That seems to be a big function of our institution. :-) The guys from the Legion Hall have invited you over for a birthday drink. I hear that Shane might even be there, and he has something to say to you also. We've arranged for Officer Dana to escort you over. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: Amos Date: 11 Feb 09 - 12:25 AM Knowing Rapaire he will arrive at the party in High Dudgeon, offering to meet any and all on the Fielde of Honore, if only they will instruct him how to find it, and shaking his blade at all comers. Those will know him will understand this is just his little way of apologizing for all the trouble he has caused Mudcat Management and MOAB Mom over the last year, having to cover up for his various plagiarisms, mis-labelings, slanders and generally excess demonstrations of bibliophilia, especially involving children's books.

Subject: RE: BS: Happy B-Day, Rapaire!!! From: Janie Date: 10 Feb 09 - 11:38 PM Oh wow. The boys up at the Legion Hall are staying up late and making all manner of preparations (H, that is). UNfortunately, one of 'em set off fireworks-just as a test to make sure they worked ok, mind you, and a spark set the thatch on the roof aflame, which in turn sent sparks flying into the uncovered barrel of "white liquor" that had just been poured off, which then ignited with a very loud bang, which blew up the the big, home-made, 40 gallon steel barrel bar-b-que where some of the boys was already roasting the hog for the surprise pig-pickin' they was a'plannin to celebrate Rap having survived another year of philosophizing on MOAB, not to mention another year of general moral decreptitude. All is not lost, however, as the crepe streamers somehow have so far managed to remain unscathed and Shane McBride just showed up with 20 others just like him, all of 'em drunk, minimal cuts and bloody gashes, all things considered, and bladders full of Iron City. Right this very minute they are putting that recycled Iron City to good use to stem the flames scorching the pig, and they may also have managed to save a little of the white liquor, which one of the Legionaires has determinedly bottled and will save for a birthday present for Rapaire. That is, of course, assuming he does not arrive on the morrow rattling his rapier in one hand, and holding out a hat to solicit funds for the library in the other. In any event, live long, and continue to prosper, bro. |
