Sandpedlar!

I heard you were "boron" today (for the Bruce Willis fans). Thought I'd suggest the following link as worth a chuckle if my attempt at sly reference makes sense:

 

Elements

 

Have a great one, with absinthe of course!

[Gwydion Stone]

I love Tom Lehrer.

 

Happy bidet, Sandpedlar!

 

Where the hell is she, anyway?

Cheers!

[Saucier]

Felicitations!

Happy Birfday Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!

[Grim]

Happy Birthday. I'll drink to you.

[sandpedlar]

Aww, jeez guys,thanks!

I've been lurking around, just not much to say.

We've moved to Texas(home) from Portland, and with school and all I've been a little busy. Never to busy to lurk, however.

I miss Portland. It's hot here. and windy. and dry. The beer of choice is Bud light by the pitcher. GROSS!

There is a microbrewery here, but the cowboys all hate it. That is just too uppity for west Texas. They call the owner a fag, and threaten him with physical violence. His beer does suck, I have to admit, and at $4 a pint, there could be possible justification for retribution, I guess.

ANYWAYS,

thanks all for your sweet and thoughtful birthday wishes. I have my 2 bottles left, the VdF and the other one. They haven't been opened for about 6 weeks, so maybe it's time this evening.

I still don't know how to shrink my pix for uploading, so sorry.

xoxo,

amy

Sounds like one of the deeper circles of Hell. Ah, well, as long as it's within the reach of the flying monkeys ...

 

Belated congarats.

[WhyteKnight]

You know...

 

If you take that "B'day" in the topic, and pronounce in the same manner as the Australian "G'day," it sounds like "bidet." Sort of.

[G&C]

That, I believe, is the point.

[Gwydion Stone]

Happy bidet, Sandpedlar! 

[Auguru]

Yikes! "B'day" was not meant in any way, shape, or fashion to resemble "bidet". Good for a chuckle though, Hiram.

 

I figured my bumbling attempt to make reference to "The Fifth Element" (a little google-bird said it was your favorite...) would be the inspiration for any tangents. Who knew?

 

As for the Texas locale and "welcome wagon", I hope we hear no tales of any barkeeps being dragged behind a pickup truck, no matter how bad the beer is...

 

I'll take the opportunity to insinuate another anecdote. On a trip through the great state of Texas (one bitter winter break from college), I was outside some hell-hole named "Van Horn" on my way to Phoenix. 'Stopped at a truck stop for something to eat and ran into a young hispanic fellow and his little brother. Seems he'd run out of gas and the truck stop clerks wouldn't sell him any (pumps had just closed, don't you know). I siphoned a couple of gallons out of my tank to help him get to El Paso. What a miserable night. Nothing like freezing your hands with spilt/volatilizing gas in the middle of winter...
