We meant to put this up last night but we had some issues with the video formatting.

So Jerry, happy birthday from the Vinemeet.

Sheila is being held captive! Dr. Frank misses her. :(

Please dear kidnapper, return Sheila to Dr. Frank's side.

Said kidnapper has 24 hours to respond or an official fatwa from the Infallible See of the Holy Order of the Rubber Chicken shall be issued.

Oh, and happy birthday, Jerry!

Iarnuocon was here yesterday, and Katy Baxter was here in spirit vis a vis confection. (It was her cake.)

A Vinemeet without Calvin is like a Vinemeet without oldfogey.

Thank you all. You are right. I sure missed you guys but I wasn't lonesome. I had more than enough company and the next time you see me I will be the coat and tie guy. Lots of new clothes from socks to shoes to jackets and ties. I will be sending a picture of my local cake which contained decorations from my old Newspaper the Coshocton Free Enterpriser, a helicopter for my Army days, a mobile home from my days as the World's Greatest Mobile Home Specialist (nobody knew about that on Newsvine), and a very appropriate Newsvine Puter Logo. Also stick people representing souls from all over the world. You won't find a happier 72 year old anywhere. Be hard to find anyone of any age any happier. Love to all.

Happy Birthday, Jerry. Sorry you had to be subjected to that horrible rendition of the Happy Birthday song. Damn, Newsviners may be very intelligent, but they sure can't sing! :^)

I suppose you're right Brad, part of the beauty of the song is all those voices in discord. LOL

When in doubt, Kymlee, you should always blame it on Butki. :-)

Frank, hey!

Actually... I do have a bad voice and am self-conscious about it but seeing as nobody - including my doctor today when i went in to see if i had laryngitis (i did and no he couldn't hear me either)
could hear me talk i figured i was safe singing.

Happy Birthday, Oldfogey! We really did miss you lots! I was really looking forward to meeting you and Calvin, along with everybody I did get to meet. Hope you had lots of fun... of course, we could have made you a rock star... maybe next time.
