Happy Birthday '78!

[oxrageous]

It appears his real age is 61.

When the GCMB first came online, he directed God-knows how many people here through Facebook postings, out of the goodness of his heart (at least at the time - he demanded compensation in a strongly-worded letter later). I will always be grateful for that. I've been trying to weasel into his will for years.

Have a very happy birthday. Hoping all around you celebrate for your BD.

Happy Birthday '78, it was a good year.

It was in my book. My ugly pus along with my grandparents outside the old Florida Gym on graduation day 1978, a hotter than hell June day. No AC in the place as I recall. My parents had divorced six years earlier and it was the first time they'd been together since. Turned out to be the last. Lots of emotions running through me that day.

Inside Alligator Alley, where Robert Q shook our hands one by one.

With my dad, a former Marine, outside the old Holiday Inn at Newberry and I-75.

You shamed me, Brad! Saw your post on my phone and interrupted an important meeting to hand out likes. How can I possibly redeem myself?

Damn, I hope you got the brains cause you sure missed out on the looks. One ugly sum'bitch you were. Hopefully you refines with age.

You almost pulled off Bo Duke perfectly. Except you had that amazing mustache.

It's unfortunately a progressive disease.

Well hello Mr. Kotter.

Actually, I was thinking '78 was Glenn Frey, but remembered Frey is now playing live at the Pearly Gates.

It was either that or John Holmes.
