30 Nov 99 - 06:50 PM (#142858) Subject: Happy birthday Rick From: McKnees Just thought I'd take advantage of being this side of the Atlantic and wish Rick a happy birthday. I'm not sure if he follows Duckboots in only having a birthday every second year, which has enabled myself to become the older sister, but I wish him happiness, joy and success in the coming Millennium. So join me and raise a glass to the nicest man I know. Rick Fielding. Cheers McKnees |

30 Nov 99 - 10:06 PM (#142943) Subject: RE: Happy birthday Rick From: Jeri Rick, in my opinion, Sagitarians are incredibly intelligent, level-headed, creative, generous, and good-looking. You're one of the best, and I'm truly honored to be your friend. I have a big hug waiting too - better ask Big Mick if you should be afraid.
Have yourself a happy little Birthday (tomorrow) (sorry, but it's the thought that counts, isn't it?...Rick?...hello?) |

30 Nov 99 - 11:31 PM (#143016) Subject: RE: Happy birthday Rick From: catspaw49 Well I hesitate to post to this prior to the actual event as that would be premature, but Heather informs me that IS one of your traits, so.......... I also consulted the early edition of the paper for your horoscope in hopes that it would be accurate and found this: "Born today you are a miserable pissant with no redeeming social value whatsoever. You are generous to a fault, of which, you have many. Your passion for all things artistic is overshadowed by your complete lack of talent for anything more difficult than passing copious quantities of sulphurous flatulence. You are narrow minded, completely bigoted, and steadfast in your maintenance of opinions shared only by Pakistani Dung Merchants and a pants presser in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, named Ignatz. Give up." Isn't it amazing how accurate those things are? In any case, your half brothers Reg, Reg, and Reg all send along their best. Sorrowfully, they are all in jail at the moment after setting up a shack and drilling numerous holes on the new Ice Rink in Columbus, explaining to the arresting officer they were just ice fishing. They would have gotten off with a warning had not one of their holes penetrated a gas main. Even this wouldn't have been a major problem had not Paw and Cletus been along and were entertaining the Reg boys with a fart lighting performance which ended with an explosion taking out 2 square blocks of downtown Columbus. Typically, none of them, although hospitalized at the jail infirmary, will believe that they were NOT on a lake and DID rupture a gas line. Cletus just lays there saying, "Damn,what a doozie." So Happy Birthday to you and my best to Heather as she certainly needs it. And Heather, if he begins backing up to the cake, stand clear......and whack him soundly with an imploded 12 string. Spaw

01 Dec 99 - 09:46 AM (#143140) Subject: RE: Happy birthday Rick From: Fortunato Happy Birthday Rick, I have very nearly survived my 53rd year. So far it has required a great deal of aspirin and ibuprophen. I have run or gone to the gym 3 to 4 days a week to keep my weight from outgrowing my wardrobe (only just). With the best available medical and dental care I have most of my teeth, a good deal of my vision(with trifocals)and most of my body doesn't hurt, itch or grow barnacles most of the time. Thanks to small yellow pieces of paper, message machines and my loving wife I don't forget everything I was supposed to do. Meantime I can remember the words and arrangements to the songs I've been doing for 20 or 30 years, however those I have just learned for my current band must be relearned for every gig (sometimes I still forget, the band just shrugs and covers for me.) All and all being 53 is better than a poke in the eye (only just). Cheers and regards, Fortunato |

01 Dec 99 - 09:51 AM (#143144) Subject: RE: Happy birthday Rick From: catspaw49 He is? Well in that case, perhaps we could box him up and wrap him real pretty with a bow and everything...then ship him off to Abu Dhabi maybe...........But where in the hell are we going to find a box that size? And what would the postage be? Say, how about Fed Ex overnight? Probably a huge surcharge........hmmmm.............. Or better yet, we just gift wrap him and mail him to his soul mate, Ignatz, in Conshohocken, PA. This would also put him close to Max and Bert and he could tape his radio shows there and send them to CIUT, since the other way around doesn't seem to be working. I think the last show we have archived is the one he did with Gertrude Stein. Although it was a great show where Rick was able to gain insight into her piano technique (the Stein-Way), something more recent would be nice. We're still waiting on the one featuring Joe McCarthy "Pickin' on the Commies." BTW, does anyone have that on CD? The original vinyl was irritating because of the static in the background caused by recording the album at a recently purloined V of A transmitter station. Where did I start this thing and what thread is this? Spaw |

01 Dec 99 - 12:15 PM (#143201) Subject: RE: Happy birthday Rick From: catspaw49 So where's Duckboots on this thread anyway? I think she might be able to squeeze in a message to her hubby. Lessee now...Sleep-8 hours; meal type chores for picky eater-3 hours; personal sanity time required by those living with eccentric assholes-3 hours (I'm simply using the amount of time Karen needs, Heather may differ); general job-like duties-8 hours; prep time getting ready to give Rick his "Special Birthday Gift"-1 hour; time spent with Rick while he partakes of his "Special Birthday Gift"-9 seconds. This leaves 59 minutes and 51 seconds of available time to post here. And when you do Heather---PLEASE have a word with your sister, the infamous "Knockers." The McKnees thing is so bad. Tell her she needs to go back to "Knockers." Spaw |

Jeri, great adaptation of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," a song that always reminds me of the execution of Private Eddie Slovik (now THERE's a bummer). It took me a little longer (maybe ten seconds) to figure out your source, Pete: "Roll Over, Roll Over" ("Ten men slept in a boarding house bed..."). And I didn't have to think a bit about yours, Bonnie--you didn't give me the chance to puzzle it out for myself. Anyway, good work, all--and how many people have been so blest, Rick? --seed |
