Happy Birthday: to everyone celebrating Birthdays on July 2nd.

[moe]

Let’s all wish our beloved westgrand a Happy Birthday !
Happy Birthday my super barrister!!! Good health & many more!

[sansradio]

Happy birthday, westgrand!

And happy belated birthday, detmotownguy!

[arr&bee]

Hey west,it's your day-yeaaaaaaaaaa...i'm sending a case of the good stuff,by special carrier buzzard[the smart one]enjoy your day-you've earned it!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Thank you Moe, Sansradio and Arr&bee, for your good wishes!

Although......I must say I was a tad unnerved by the buzzard, Arr&bee?

'Sign here', he said. When I did, he then sidled up real close. Said 'Happy Birthday' in a low voice, gave me a rather strange look and said if I agreed to let him keep the case, he'd see to it that I would never again have any trouble from people calling at my door.

What can that all mean, I wonder?

[sophisticated_soul]

Feliz Cumpleaños Mi Amigo, Sofisticado Alma

[arr&bee]

Sorry about that west,it seems that my buzzard was hijacked by one of grady's pirate buzzards..[they'll steal anything and charge twice as much]i'll speak to grady about this as we signed a treaty last year to keep this from happening to my shipments..i didn't bother to read the fine print..never trust grady!!

[arr&bee]

Of course this means that grady didn't read the fine print from me that stated that in the event any of my shipments were hijacked,a letter will be sent to the health department revealing the ingredients of his infamous-mystery meatloaf..grady forgot that...i can't be trusted either,hehehe!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

My translator urges me to respond with 'thank you, Soulphisticated Soph'.

[westgrandboulevard]

Trust no-one, Arr&bee. Not even your own mirror......

[sophisticated_soul]

My translator urges me to respond with 'thank you, Soulphisticated Soph'.

Your Welcome, have the best day every, West!

P.S. I don't speak Spanish either, I had to have my translator translate it before transmitting it to you for your translator to translate.

[westgrandboulevard]

Ah, I see. It's all lost in translation.

And I must admit that, when it comes to foreign languages, "je parle francais comme une vache espagnol"....

[sophisticated_soul]

"je parle francais comme une vache espagnol"

Hey West, that's a horrible thing to say about my Mother!

[arr&bee]

ah, i see. It's all lost in translation.

And i must admit that, when it comes to foreign languages, "je parle francais comme une vache espagnol"....

grady served some of that last night and ten people got sick!!

[arr&bee]

trust no-one, arr&bee. Not even your own mirror......

you're right west,i looked in the mirror the other day and the guy on the other side gave me the finger and walked away!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Then better fit a new door lock, Arr&bee, even if he does look a lot like you.

And especially if he looks a lot like you...
