Today is my birthday, and all I'm getting is a crummy visit from Bush!

[Atman]

Well, okay, I'm sure he won't be dropping by to greet me personally, but he'll be down the road in Bridgeport today. I'll bring a piece of cake for him out to the guys in the white panel van that's been sitting across the street from my house for two days!

:hi:

1. Happy Birthday and avoid the bushes......

I heard there were snakes hiding all around them. :)

8. I'll go pee on the Bushes. Er, bushes.

Symbolically.

4. OMG- that's like a visit from Poe's Raven...

so sorry that has to happen on your special day! Try to have a happy birthday, in spite of the horrid, evil cloud descending upon your town!

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

5. I used to live in Bridgeport.

:wtf: Why is he going to Bridgeport. I think he got may 10% of the vote in Bridgeport. Who's going to go see him. Oh, the people from the wealthy surrounding suburbs (Westport, Southport, Fairfield, Darien, etc.)

:wtf:

6. It is much easier to secure an area like Bridgeport

Where no one will care he's there. They can cordon off half the city and they wouldn't notice anything was amiss!

7. I dunno, but I've been told...

ATMAN'S GETTIN' MIGHTY OLD!

Happy Birthday! :party:
