Happy birthday Joker!

[SB39]

What's real funny is the way that you told Joker in another thread that you're "living in his head rent free". It would appear that it's the other way around. And what was the point of this post? This thread was halfway down the forum.

Mod Post Edit: SB39 was banned from this thread for being a self-centered jerk.

Happy Birthday, Joker! A day late, but whatever. I enjoy your posts and wish you many more years and posts to come!

"Sharing" is an interesting choice of words, Mack

Joker--I wish there were a way to buy you a birthday shot over the web. Since that's impossible, I will offer you this Kate Upton "Zero Gravity" vid instead:

weird birthday...yesterday I went out to dinner with Moms at HER favorite Italian soul food place, Mike's Kitchen in Cranston. She's 92, it's my birthday, she goes where she wants to go and that's the end of that. Very satisfying, quiet...and delicious. She gave me a blank check to buy a dog. ...OK...look, it's Moms, right?...I think SHE wants the dog. I know you older guys know what I'm talking about.

So tonight, my brother reserves a back room at Twin Oaks and the rest of the family, plus friends all show up to do the usual "let's make Joe uncomfortable and watch him cringe when the waiters sing happy birthday and he has to blow out the stupid candles". You know, we all have to deal with this, it's family dynamics but really, does anyone ever enjoy the fake sincerity of restaurant waiters singing that "special" song for you? I know, I know but wait...it gets weird like a Michael Corleone party gone sideways.

This guy walks up to the table and in a Italian accent, declares he will now sing me happy birthday in Neopolitan. LIke I NEED this shiite now, right? So he breaks into operatic voice and goes through his musical gymnastics and when he's done, a table of eight women in the room break out into raucous applause, a couple of them with tears in their eyes. Jeezus , like I of all people want THIS . Yeah, they all just have to come over and introduce themselves and make like we're all old friends for years. Never seen these girls in my life.

At this point, an ex shows up and , without even introducing herself, comes right over and sits on my lap planting a big kiss on my face. A scream of "you dirty biatch!"from the 6 seat bar at the other end of the room booms out like a bullhorn...it's another one of my exes who was sitting there out of sight watching me and the family the whole time. She comes stalking over, the two of them get in a catfight right there amid the tables in Twin Oaks. I'm asking the waiter if that's the Twilight Zone theme I hear in the background when the maitre 'd comes over and hustles the two psychos out of the dining area.All I hear as they're leaving is "I still love you Joey!!!" as the commotion disappears. Now I look at the family and friends and they all have this "WTF just happened?" look on their faces.

Anyway, there's a sorta happy ending...my wonderful niece gave me a nice card with 50 dollars of lottery scratch tickets in it. You guessed it. Hit one winner for $100 and six others totaling 55 bucks. Heh...and I HATE scratch tickets..the worst scam in our country IMO. I hate them a little less now.

I read this thread and I can see the Pats fans who wished me well are probably the sanest people I know in life.

You poor bastard.

You poor bastard.

Ha. My thoughts exactly.

And Joker--that's one exciting birthday scenario. All I got was a steak dinner at Hyde Park this year. I'd have liked to have had some women fighting over me...at any point in my lifetime.

Next year I will once again be experiencing a SB victory on my bday, just like in 2004 (2003 season). Have to take advantage of these situations when they present themselves. Last opportunity I had on my bday was watching the putrid Steelers come from behind with the Santonio Holmes catch in 2009 (2008 season). They may be my last chance with TFB/Belichick.

The girls love old hunks... never know???

Mike's kitchen always brings a smile, a glorified, more modern Tweet Balzano's

Twin Oaks soggy same old soggy vegetables, big hunks of meat, same old, same old, same old.. I avoid it at all cost, but sometimes we have to go for some inane function that makes me insane, particularly when people rave about how good it is. Or talk about how they have an "in" so they do not have to wait in those forever lines. But they make a "great" lunch. Used to go there for lunch, but usually tied a nice bun on... then afternoon delight.

The ex's stuff is rich, it is much easier to get along with them.. but I only have one, that is enough. Charlestown is not known for its cuisine...

Sad when the "happy ending" are winning scratch tickets... keep the flame burning.

I have it on good authority that Roger Goodell hired the operatic waiter AND the exes to show up for dinner...

That's a great idea for an app.

Wow, 51 posts. Hey Ian -- let's make this thread a sticky and pester Joker all year long! :singing:

Could have been worse. I had assumed that Roger Goodell and Woody Johnson would be taking you out to dinner, but that they would stick you with the check.

Happy Birthday! Another year older, another year crazier. There's no turning back now!

Make it happen, Galeb.

If you end up successful, shoot me over a check for something small to chisel into my student loans

This gave me a good chuckle, thanks Deb.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Wow! All these ex's intrigue. My SB I anniversary Bday involved dinner with my wife.
Still working on making my 1st wife an ex. Any hints from the master on how to do this?
On 2nd thought, I kinda really like the current model and she has pointed out that no other woman would have me if she writes out all the sordid details in the job description.
But just yesterday an 82 yr old woman visiting from Ireland asked my wife if she could have me, "After you're done with him, dear"

Ok we're going off on a tangent but all these ex-gf/ex-wife, next ex-wife comments remind me of this very poignant song in my life as well

A song from the movie PUNCHING THE CLOWN - YouTube

 

[Joker]

I'm a guitarist...and I write a lot of mutated classics like a send up of Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night"...mine is "Stranglers In The Night"...

..stranglers in the night...

two lonely psychos

killers at first sight

exchanging death blows..

get the picture?...yeah...I love anything that is really over the top lame...like this Dean Martin classic done Joe Kerr style...

...whena you jump in the sea

and get bit in the knee


that's ..a moray....

whena you wake up half dead

from six shots to the head

that's..Signore!!

a little tune I wrote on vacation to the Aegean whereupon I had a rather unfortunate dalliance with a signora who happened to be married to some creep named Thugasus Krakaskulaides...I still have a small dent up top I can rest a pea in.
