Make This A Birthday To Remember.......

[westgrandboulevard]

Indeed! There's definitely something very odd going on.

Every time I look at an Obituary page, they all seem to be dying in alphabetical order.....

[moe]

Isn't there anything we can do?

[westgrandboulevard]

We shouldn't be afraid of death.

The only problem is we're so damn stiff the next day.

a flicker . . . a dot of light . . . a line . . . interference . . . a black and white picture . . . a color picture . . . full screen . . . widescreen . . . cinemascope, freaking Todd-AO! We're back!
I wasn't really on the other side, I was just visiting. Then I expired, well my visitor's pass expired. I myself simply ran out of time.

[westgrandboulevard]

You expired? Well, death can be fatal.

So you got bored, and returned....

That's the spirit!

[sophisticated_soul]

I never had a ghost of a chance.

[westgrandboulevard]

Neither did Phil Spectre......

[sophisticated_soul]

Scepter Records did alright though.

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, I will acScepter that....

[sophisticated_soul]

Slide some oil to me, and let me lubricate my mind.

[moe]

The lights are on but nobody's home.....

[westgrandboulevard]

That explains the high electricity bill.

[moe]

Well someone paid the electric bill, westgrand.
