KLUNK!!!

You just KNEW, when the end of the month rolls around, the list would
roll around, also. Nick gets up from his chair and scrolls a section of
the Birthday List up on the chalkboard (try THAT on your real-world
displays!):

"Here they are, a rather large bunch this time. Definitely cause for
celebration.  Special mention of Mentor, Lamplighter, COAN, Crazyman,
Spacey, Toothpick, P'relan, and Eoin.  Are the others still around?  I
have not been too aggressive on the MIA list, lately."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From various perches, rafters, and rookeries fly a multihued menagerie
of dangerously darting but darling dainty dragonoids dealing out this
ditty:

<HEEEEEPEEEEEE BEEEEEDEEEEE  TOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOOU>
Balloons! Birthday shower! Confetti! Rice! Left-over snowballs!
<HEEEEEPEEEEEE BEEEEEDEEEEE  TOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOOU>
The VPM Pings and proceeds to produce a Party Pastry of pretentious
pulchritude festooned with frivilous flowers of frosting.
<HEEEEEPEEEEEE BEEEEEDEEEEE  HEEEEEPEEEEEE BEEEEEDEEEEE>
Dragons bugle. Xwindows show Xfireworks. Alien space-ships flash lights.
<HEEEEEPEEEEEE BEEEEEDEEEEE  TOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOOU!> (Stan bows)

There is a rush to the bar for drinks (Mike and Tom and a couple of
volunteers are tending bar at what looks like time-lapse speed) and
numerous toasts and shattered glass and VAX singing at full volume while
sweeping up the glass and of course Fast Eddy doing incredible
variations on Happy Birthday while Jakes harmonizes with a happy singing
of electrified strings.

"If you just had a birthday and you did not appear on this list, NYaaah
NYaaah you forgot to tell me, too bad for you!  Send me your name and
Email address, your favorite drinks and your birthday (year not
required, besides nobody comes CLOSE to being as old as I).  Better luck
next year.

"Also if you are lurking and decide to come out, you might email me for
the ALLABOUT Callahan's, which gives rather more than you wanted to know
about the place, but might make an interesting 5 minutes reading.

Nick Chopper - my opinion? ax not! LB>-}  GE.LJB@Forsythe.stanford.edu
