Happy Birthday MikeP

To one of the old timers on the Innernets going way back to WMI days, a guy I first met, gawd 16-17 years ago? Back to the Hawg Hunter booth with Brad @ the MSBA Sunday show at the Braintree Armory?

Happy Birthday Mike

A lot of us are the better for knowing you over these years !

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thanks, guys.

John, I think WMI went up around 1996, and I wandered in there a year or two later, and the first guy I noticed was this hothead from RI who was arguing with Gowge about whether you could cast as far with a 9' rod as a 13' one. So I decided to join in the fun. "Your known universe is Woonsocket to Watch Hill".

Then there was Dougie.

You've always made it a fun ride.

Too many people we met along the way have ended their life's journey. So today, starting my 70th decade, I'll raise a glass to them.

but I really feel like I'm only 40

I remember Those were the fun days.

Yes, a lot of people have passed into the clearing at the end. I say hello to many from Ryan, to Johnny, Chuck, Steve, & many more when I am out on a rock fishing alone

Happy Birthday, 70th decade, I guess vampires do fish after all

Want to be even more depressed? The day after your 60th birthday, you're closer in time to 80 than 40.

I have this fear that if I make it to 80 all I'll be capable of is eating Maypo and peeing in my diapers.
Thanks Mike.

Sheet, Makai. Your prune juice jokes are stale.
Come with me and do Johnny Blacks on the
rocks and we'll see who needs vodka. Despite
my canny Scotish nature I may even buy.
