It still isn't, even New Zealand couldn't beat you!

Happy Birthday Loyal! I sent you gift in the mail as I type, but I should warn you that you need to devise a system in which to open it where you are at least 7'6" from the package.

Ah yes, and I wouldn't recommend opening it indoors either. :wink:

There's no shame in wishing myself a happy birthday :wink:


Folly wrote:


...Their business was to celebrate the praises of the gods and valiant men. And the like encomium shall you hear from me, but neither of Hercules nor Solon, but my own dear self, that is to say, Folly. Nor do I esteem a rush that call it a foolish and insolent thing to praise one's self. Be it as foolish as they would make it, so they confess it proper: and what can be more than that Folly be her own trumpet? For who can set me out better than myself, unless perhaps I could be better known to another than to myself ? Though yet I think it somewhat more modest than the general practice of our nobles and wise men who, throwing away all shame, hire some flattering orator or lying poet from whose mouth they may hear their praises, that is to say, mere lies; and yet, composing themselves with a seeming modesty, spread out their peacock's plumes and erect their crests, while this impudent flatterer equals a man of nothing to the gods and proposes him as an absolute pattern of all virtue that's wholly a stranger to it, sets out a pitiful jay in other's feathers, washes the blackamoor white, and lastly swells a gnat to an elephant. In short, I will follow that old proverb that says, "He may lawfully praise himself that lives far from neighbors."

:shock: You never cease to amaze Galia.

I'm working on a pulley system to open the gift.


I try. But I can't take credit, its from Erasmus' Praise of Folly (One of my favorite pieces of literature...I almost know it by heart). But I knew which passage was perfect for this. I feel the "far from neighbors" part was especially apt considering I'd have trouble locating the state you live in on a U.S. map. Anyways, the whole book is part of the package I am sending you, but I put it ontop of the real gift along with a role of toilet paper in order to distract customs officials. :wink:

Now enjoy your birthday, enjoy blowing your own horn, and while you're at it, drink your own girlie drinks with little paper umbrellas and plastic monkeys hanging off the sides of the glass too.

That reminds me of the story rusty told about how his mother thought he was a bowel movement, and he got flushed down the toilet and was raised by sewer rats until the age of 12. But, that's a different story...

Happy birthday, Cicily!
