Happy Birthday Scoutgal!

That was an excellent opener, Greger-What a great birthday present! (pssst, I was born in 1958, but I like the fact that you made me younger...) My birthday is having a wonderful start! It's also ncie to know that I share a birthday with one of my favorite architechs, too!

Thanks, Phil!

Happy Birthday, Scoutgal! Great kick-off to HetereoSexual Pride Month, Greger! Entertaining, amusing, and educational, too! I wonder if those tourists were charged extra for that elephant ride?

Wonderful Day, Scoutgal!!

WHEE!!

When I was in my early twenties and still living at home, our house was always filled with women in their fifties and sixties...my mother's sisters, teaching pals and fellow graduate students. When I once went around and asked all of them when the best years of their life were, to a woman they said their Fifties!! They finally had the wisdom to go along with their knowledge and felt they could do anything.


GO ON OUT AND DO ANYTHING, Scoutgal!!

Happy birthday to Scout!

Greger, it's a lovely opener, truly it is, but now we have to organize a Pride parade for gay animals; their existence has been well documented.

I would also ask whether your post includes fish, as some consider them to be animals while others consider "fishes" to be a class of their own. I noticed you omitted any photos of fish-f***ing (type THAT one with care!) so expect you are to be found in the latter group.

Sigh. I expected more of you, Greger...

Happy Birthday Scout!


Greger,
Are you sure Milton Berle belongs in your heterosexual list???

Good heavens, it's not a "Heterosexual List" and he's no animal!
