Here's to a birthday dinner full of comfort foods from your childhood. *clinks glass* HURRAAAH!
Thank-ye all ye landlubbers for the kind wishes. The Admiral thanks one and all - He really does. Except for the fact that he should have been doing push-ups at Ft Jackson right now, 'tis a jolly good Birthday
Thanks - BOQ
Boq - I'm sorry you aren't being forced to do your ration of push-ups, which sucks. But I hope you find some other form of fun to take your mind off it :-) Happy Birthday !

boots

1-2-3-ONE! 1-2-3-TWO! 1-2-3-THREE! 1-2-3-FOUR! CONTINUE DOING PUSH-UPS UNTIL I GET TIRED, MAGGOT!
(From an old Drill Sergeant, best wishes and Godspeed!)
