White beard? Mustache, yeah, but if I grew a beard, I'd look like Chewbacca playing Santa Claus.

The barber's hair is red from henna. That's the Pakistani substitute for those "Gets rid of the grey!" hair-dyes that JFKerry evidently uses.

Damn, Ymar - you*tryin'* to start a fight?

I don't know, but the white beard picture looks like something out of the British Raj, except the local has his hair somehow dyed red.

If you could have a choice between a space station that launches kinetic strikes on the surface of earth, sort of a super concrete bomb, or you could have your own nuclear ballistic submarine shoot things at targets in the world, which would you pick, Bill?

Although I was sorta hoping that if nobody remembered, I wouldn't get any older.

Ummmm -- waitaminnit. That doesn't sound quite right...

Kat - I don't know if that's the best one or the worst. I laughed out loud when I read it.....but then I thought about the slogan "We Keep You Zipped!" That might just be downright mean.

No, no...I got Bill the perfect gift: Zipper rescue kit

Thank you for your interest in the Zipper Rescue Kit. It is very exciting to be able to provide these hard-to-find parts and repair techniques for everyone!

The History of ZRK
After thirteen years of repairing thousands of zippers at my canvas shop in McCall, Idaho, we discovered that most zippers fail because the slider (the little gadget you pull open and closed) either wears out, falls off or breaks. Realizing one day that most people could solve this common problem with the correct parts and instructions, we decided to create the Zipper Rescue Kit and ZRK Enterprises.

Our kits can be found in thousands of fabric and sporting good stores nationwide. ZRK Enterprises has been in business since 1993 and has helped thousands of people repair their own zippers. We are dedicated to this cause and hope that this site leads you to a higher level of zipper awareness.

Happy Zipping!

Well Chief,

With so many lizzards hanging around your sim-hutch, why not impress wayward NAVY Lt's with the perfect MAN ACCESSORY FOR YOUR WARDROBE. Besides, they are Eco-Friendly, and make the girls go wild!!!

Happy Birthday Unkabill!

Many happy returns, and many thanks for what you've written to me, and just generally. I'll try and find some broken-helicopter broken links to send as presents. N.b.: There is no such thing as a working helicopter, there are only "pre-brokenness" helicopters.

Happy Birthday to you! I offer you this: For starters, a case of your favorite brew. Coffee, beer, whatever. You decide.

Next: Roast chicken, garlic mashed potatoes with a *bit* of parsley, grilled zucchini, mushrooms and onions. Mesclun salad with a mustard vinaigrette.
To finish: Mint chocolate chip ice cream, garnished with double chocolate Milano cookies.

My Darling Chief - I know just what you should have for your birthday!

Just pull the sheet off of my bed and drape it anyway you like so I can pose for my sitting.

Happy birthday to a warrior and a man who is a true hero in my book. May the angels keep you safe, and may the devil fear your presence.

Keep up the good work, and I'll raise a glass of Bushmills Irish whiskey in your honor tonight. 24 hour bottle to throttle rule will keep me from more than one (or two ;)) shots.

You are your ilk are always welcome in my home. Check six, and remember us old Airborne!

Happy Birthday Twin!
Since, according to your cartoon-self, you are a little slow... I figured you could use some speeding up, and some SPF-infused clothing to help prevent sunburn while completing your desert vacation!
