Yet Another "Happy Birthday!" Thread + a note from PERDITA (post #8)

Since Perdita isn't here to handle the chore, I'm taking it upon myself to remind everyone to have a happy:

BLOOMSDAY!

DUBLIN, Ireland (AFP) - Grey and misty weather in Dublin failed to dampen the spirits of fans from Ireland and around the world joining in the festivities to celebrate James Joyce's famed, fictitious "Bloomsday".

Every year the clock in the Irish capital goes back to June 16, 1904, so famously depicted in the epic day-in-a-life novel "Ulysses", written by the city's most celebrated author.

In the 700-page book, Joyce wrote about the adventures of Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising salesman, and young poet Stephen Dedalus as they wander the streets of Dublin.

Devoted fans were marking the day by dressing up in period costume, following the duo's fictional trail and listening to readings from the book -- including parts of the celebrated earthy monologue by Bloom's wife, Molly, one of the main reasons Ireland long banned "Ulysses".

There is no official programme for the day, but afficionados eat a breakfast of the "inner organs of beasts and fowls", swim at the Forty Foot in the south city, lunch on Burgundy and Gorgonzola cheese and buy lemon soap.

Last year, tens of thousands took part in the centenary celebrations, but the toasting of Bloomsday is more low-key this year.

You made me miss P., RF.

I think I need a coddle.

We both miss her, Mck. As for that coddle, well, a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do. And in this case, as often and long as possible.

Checking in here (since a certain twat's birthday earlier this month), and find I am very touched by Rumply's consideration. I actually thought of posting a thread on the 16th, then thought, "Who the fuck'd care?!" My bad.

It's not enough, but I'll state that thinking on Rumpleman certainly makes me consider returning as a regular.

Nah, life is good out 'ere.

Muchos bessos, Rumps! You'd definitely go into my mix of an ideal hombre.

I'm not even going to ask what part of me would go into the mix.

Hope life stays good for you. But as you can tell, everyone also hopes you'll find time for the AH someday soon.
