Just as a word of warning on your birthday, don't take a laptop with you into a "classy" resturant so you can connect to the chat when in reality you should be talking to your family. Someone in the chat did that today and I am worried if his family is gonna kill him for ruining his present by taking a laptop with him.

[Tom Hopkins]

I'm a little late to the party here but I've heard so much about Gary (I've never actually met him) that I thought I should at least wish him a happy 25th Birthday! I also wanted to mention that there's a very pretty girl named Marianne who has been asking me a lot of questions about Gary; she thinks he's "cute." Sounds to me like there could be a future in this - for a really great Birthday present!! One more thing: Don't trust anyone who sends you cookies through the mail - bad idea - even if it is for your Birthday.

Tom

[etLux]

You know, I heard somewhere the guy's a harp player.
Women just love that, you know, so that Marianne gal
is probably a goner...

PS: Thanks Tom for the cookies and David, yes, the harp is a woman magnet but it attracts a variety of animals as well.

Yes it does go well with the other elk I have. They both will make lovely hides along with my hippopotamus hide.

The plan is to have three Indian squaws sleep on each hide and each conceive a baby boy, exept the one who will sleep on the hippopotamus skin will conceive twin boys.

This will prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.

And this is an essential axiom toward the proof of the Kansas Theory.

Dear Gary,

I was looking the other way and almost (well...did) miss your birthday.
Happy Birthday to you all the way from little old London. Hope you had a great day.
I'm afraid I'm all out of Elks (they are hard to get hold of around here) and I don't have enough wrapping paper for a squaw so...

Best wishes to one of the most generous (in all senses of the word) people in the world music community

Boy! Good things happen when you sleep in Michael Jackson's oxygen bubble bed! (Bought second-hand in a fire sale! No, MJ did not come with it - not even as a freebie.)

Boy! Good things happen when you sleep in Michael Jackson's oxygen bubble bed! (Bought second-hand in a fire sale! No, MJ did not come with it - not even as a freebie.)
:pIn addition to the oxygen bubble bed, it is the strict diet of Pickle Juice.


http://www.goldenpicklejuice.com/product%20pages/images/juice_case565x360_2.jpg

Pickle Juice Sport has approximately 30 times more electrolytes than Powerade and 15 times more than Gatorade. :D

[etLux]

Ah hah! I knew it. The power of the pickle is legendary.

Hercules is reputed to have eaten it to enhance his strength.

Mario Cuomo ate them daily to bring forth his oratorial prowess.

Alexander The Great would never do battle without first ingesting
seven pickles (he had a thing for the number seven).

NASA secretly feeds extract of pickle to their astronauts.

And even Muhammad Ali declared: "I coulda never been a champine/
without them pickles green."

The venerable pickle... take note, all, of its remarkable properties;
follow our noble leader into the pickle fields of Orcas; and you,
too, shall command the power of the pun and the muse of Photo-
Shop.

My heavens! I've been... PICKLED! :eek:

Do I have some sort of pickle jar into which I retreat in the face of
dangerous pastrami sandwiches?

More importantly, what are my powers? Can I induce a pucker at
a thousand yards? Turn mere cucumbers green with envy?

I'm honored. And excited. Pickles are real woman-magnets, as
you know... I'll be surrounded by comely female supplicants!

The world now needs a pickle superhero because of the dill-emas it faces.

Pickles have been a plague on society.

It has been widely reported that there is a 100% mortality rate for those who eat pickles. That's right, evidence shows that if you eat pickles, someday you will die. Did you know that criminals have been known to come from homes where pickles were served. The vast majority of terrorists eat pickles. The term "in a pickle" was coined for very good reason.

Leading horticulturists have long known that 'Cucumis sativus' is a malicious mutated variant of 'curcumin' (turmeric). And yes, it's indehiscent fleshy pepo does have aphrodisiacal powers causing women to relish over men with reckless abandon.

We need a Pickleman more than ever to the world of these evils. ;)

Ha! You young fellas -- take everything at face value, don't
do your research like ya should.

Ya gotta jump in the jar with 'em, that's the trick. Why, we
still got grampa up on the mantle in one a them real purty
Vlasic pickle jars.

He's kinda green, but he still wiggles 'round now and then if we
threaten to stick him on a sandwich, so we're sure that he
ain't dead.

Dear Gary,

I wish you the best of birthdays my friend. You have restored my faith in a lot of things over the years, and I can't thank you enough. The world is blessed to have you in it. I used to say "hey - remember it's only sample libraries", but with you it is more. Your contributions to musical education, the community you have built, and the genuine good will that you have earned goes far and above being a sample developer with good customer relations. I think that everyone wants to change the world for the better, and they can. It is just a matter of finding the way that best suits ones abilities and talent. You have done this, and continue to do so.
Perhaps I am being dramatic, but I mean what I say. There are those who envy what we have here but far more that are a part of it.

Wishing you all the best,
Brian

P.S. Are we getting older or just wiser? I think I am just doing the former:D .
