That's cos we're always ahead of everyone else - or perhaps another way of saying it - you guys are always a day late
Hippy pappy thuthdth bethuthdth bethuthday Doc. The big 3-0 - it's the slippery slope to "old man-hood" from here on in! Seriousness, responsibility, eyebrow & nostril hair...
But try not to let that get in the way of having fun!!
Have a good one!

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.
