Fred. I need ya, remember our contract with Carnation milk, and our potential advertisement?? You know the one where you sit stoically with a can of carnation milk in your left hand held up pointing at it with your right hand. And nodding your head in acceptance. Where as I read the advertisement n" Carnation milk, I think is grand,
Always keep a can on hand!!
No tits to pull,
No *censored* to pitch
Just poke a hole in the son of a bitch.
Get well soon my friend!!!!!

Well,Flyer.....We had him shipped in by Rail to the Cleveland Natural History Museum a few months ago for just such a Procedure. The 'Ol Gruffster made his first mistake by tryin' to use a Mastodon Tusk to pick something outta his teeth. That went over like a Lead Balloon with the Staff. When we got him to the Basement for the Carbon 14 Dating Process,we had to fool him by telling him we were trying to Get him a Date. Couldn't put anything past him,as he broke the Machine when it wouldn't spit out a Compatible Female Match. So No,we never got him pinned down on a valid age.....The Good News was I was able to have Voice Communication with the 'Ol Muleskinner himself. He may have been on Pain Meds as he kept claiming he was Phylis Diller or Ethel Merman. At times,he claimed he was both. It was hard not to Hurl. He was Lucid Enough to say that he's gonna be back,and he was(WAIT FOR THE MUSH)sincerely Touched And Flattered by how all of you gave two you know whats about him. That's right,I Ratted All Of You Out to him! He said he was humbled and grateful...Really...I told him to "Stuff It"...Really!....The Buzzard sounded a lot better,and I am personally grateful to all of you and how you Folks make this Board Tick! I will now crawl back under the rock from which I crawled out from......Good Night!

Tell Fred I wasn't worried. He's the proof that "only the good die young". Fred will out live all of us.
Seriously, good to hear he'll be back.

Great to hear that you will soon be back. I miss you Fred. Nobody can take a 200 word paragraph and boil it down to a 10 word sentence like you can. That takes more than skill -- it's an art..... and you Fred, are an artist........ but don't worry you won't lose the edge you have gained as a cantankerous old faht.
Get well SOON -
