Sounds like a REAL party. What about Fernando Lamas?
Posted by: jen | July 06, 2005 at 07:18 PM
I'm sure the police office he hit thinks the aggressive part is true...
Posted by: jen | July 06, 2005 at 07:19 PM
Hey Heretik, when is your birthday??
Posted by: Night Bird | July 06, 2005 at 07:19 PM
Fernando?
Can you hear the drums fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
Posted by: The Heretik | July 06, 2005 at 07:21 PM
LOL Jen!
Posted by: Night Bird | July 06, 2005 at 07:22 PM
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

I share my birthday with the King, Martin.
Posted by: The Heretik | July 06, 2005 at 07:28 PM
Night Bird! How are you feeling?
Posted by: jen | July 06, 2005 at 07:30 PM
A heck of a lot better Jen, thanks! A little afternoon nap sure helped.
Posted by: Night Bird | July 06, 2005 at 07:35 PM
glad to hear it, NB!
Wow, Heretik, great person to share your day with. I was born on the same day as Vincent.

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

Happy birthday to all the dolls and all the guys.

Good evening, dahlings.

Odd, the two of you coming in here like that, one after another.
Posted by: The Heretik | July 06, 2005 at 07:52 PM
Hmm. It's total coincidence that Mannion and I showed up at the same time. I can't speak for him, but I was ... uh ... washing my hair.
Posted by: Shakespeare's Sister | July 06, 2005 at 07:52 PM
I was washing her hair too.
Posted by: Lance Mannion | July 06, 2005 at 07:57 PM
She has a lot of it. It's at least a two person operation. Next time I'm bringing reinforcements.
Posted by: Lance Mannion | July 06, 2005 at 07:57 PM
Oh, my.
Posted by: Mannion's Mom | July 06, 2005 at 07:58 PM
And a bigger towel.
