  • Musical birthday?

    Ya know...
    The hard part about doing these "Guru Birthday" things... is that they're sort of impersonal.
    What I mean is... I've never met most of these people.
    Sure, I've had the dubious honor of meeting Diver Ray, Trbig, John/WildKat and several others, but...
    Take today's Birthday Boy, FREDINTOON for example.
    Fred's been around this site for a number of years... and been around in general for a lot longer than that.
    But just what do I know about Fred?
    Due to his lack of posting pics, I was never able to place a face with a name.
    That just doesn't seem right.
    Eventhough it's his birthday, I'm not gonna tell you what I think of Fred, but I can offer what I think he looks like.
    From his profile, he's an ex-Brit, and was born in 1937.
    So, I figger... one old Fredintoon is worth the same as another old Fredintoon.
    Behold... "Old Fred", from "Yellow Submarine".
    He's old, British, and "in tune", sort of.










    Happy Birthday to Fredintoon!
    (And like his namesake, he's both an animated and colorful fellow)

        Happy 71st Fred,

        Make sure no one is using carb cleaner when they bring in your cake (wouldn't perchance be pumpkin?)

                Someone should probably wash the seat on that bike too.....

                      Happy B'day Fred, see your new AVATAR!

                      Hey there Fred,

                      Prom was so nice in providing a great image, that I got inspired, and since you didn't have an AVATAR, I converted it into one for you....see this recent post by you/Fred to view it !!

                      I hope you like it and will keep it??

                      But if you don't, then just PM me, and I'll remove it, don't want you saying "Hello, Goodbye" to the FORUM!

                        Birthday boys post from other thread

                        On the wild side
                        Strangers pissing on your tree, ugly threats, home invasions and shotgunning the neighbor's dog.
                        - - - and to think that I get miffed about my neighbor's noisy riding mower. God! What a dull boring lifestyle I must have.
                        And the neighbor's reply!

                              Here's a snap I took of Fred with my ultra long distance satellite lens. Hey DJ, I'd reckon more like 500!
