Birthday Reaper Strikes Again!
Posted: 01-26-2012 05:30 AM
And the victim? None other than our beloved Rob Shepherd, that pilot of pilots, prognosticator of prognosticators (whoops - wrong movie)
I hear the Reaper, AKA Old Age Faerie, struck Rob this morning as he attempted to rise from the couch. The point 0f attack - a sharp rap on the left hand pinkie. The pain is there whenever he tries to bend it. Oh, the ravages that OAF spews into our lives. Neither alarm systems, dogs, or the cup of spiced hot chocolate on the mantle was able to deter the villain.
As we all know, the best recovery for such an onslaught is copious handfuls of birthday cake washed down with sips of that specially aged DFW goat's milk, "GO" juice. Remember, sips, not gulps! You see what just happenend to Rick!!! Want that to happen to you, too?
If the past is key to the future, then, Rob, it appears you may be safe from another OAF attack for a year; however, it has been reported that the pains and aches of the original attack may, I repeat MAY, spread to other locations - sort of like the pain the day after being in an accident.
Ted just dispatched from DFW in an MD80 with a little extra "GO" juice to tide you over until tomorrow. Sorry, but it's the new downsized 4 oz bottle. The 6 oz was just too dangerous and the FBI was starting to put 2+3 together and we needed to stop them before they got to 2+2.
So, no sudden movements for 24 hrs. You may however, sit at your computer and fly for AAV - just be careful of the handful eating of Birthday cake and getting it on your controller. Curious that our handbook does not disallow flying in your condition, but, if you don't tell, I won't.
Finally, the bottom line, in all things today remember there's a bunch of folks at AAV that are really really concerned that you have GREAT and WONDERFUL birthday today!
Happy Birthday, Rob!!!!
