I'm on pins and needles awaiting your sordid lies and gutter mouth-speak.

Thank you so much for the remembrance, Caroline.
... Mark's just happy to wake up and... PHFFFT! ...please excuse...

Status : Offline | Mr Mumbles! He yet lives! Happy birthday, Christmas and New Year all in one Mark, you grumpy ol' goat! Well, you can't be too bad if Mr Mumbles still puts up with you, eh?
MERRY CHRISTMAS to EVERYONE else as well!
Since the new site doesn't have fancy fonts or colours, i'm reduced to using caps, sigh.

Status : Offline | See what you've started now Terry? I won't express such insistent greed. I'm content with the single dot.... it has made friends with several of my more vocal dots. I would however, suggest that next time, you either treat us all equally or you start making amends with some generous amounts of chocolate.....

Sorry folks.
There is a two dot limit.
Also, double dots are reserved for the eldest recipients with multiple personalities.
Cheers, Terry

Status : Offline | Whew! Just got through blasting "Auld Lang Syne" at 105 decibels here on the East Coast through my new Kurzweil PC3K-8 synthesizer I got last month (it's a right monster!). I am so glad that 2012 is O-VER!
And gee thanks, everybody for the kind birthday wishes: Trav, Helen, Anthony, Lady K., Tincup2, Stiler, Terty - but NOT Caroline. You know how she tells stories. And she can't count, either.

As well there should be. No one's ever seen a smiley with three... uh, dots. It would look like that The Simpsons fish with the third eye. Too freaky.

By the way: I'm not 75.
... by the way: he's not... FHOO!...so sorry... 75.

I'm going to have to wait... let's see... about 45 years before i qualify? Will the internet still exist then? Maybe i'll get a holographic 3-D dot by then!

It's scary, but I think I may qualify in April.
