C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[trotsky]

1. How old were you last year?

:evilgrin:

[Plaid Adder]

8. Why, I turned...HEY!

Loophole-finder!

To answer your question, I was one year younger than I am today.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[trotsky]

28. Ha ha, clever response.

Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your day!
:toast:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Any special celebration?

Happy Birthday! :party:

[Plaid Adder]

10. Cubbies on Sunday!

My partner is taking me to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs smack down the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. At least I hope that's what happens...Maddux is pitching, so nothing is certain.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Champ]

25. This guy will be the only one doing the smacking Sunday

Smaaaaaaccccckkkkk.... down Sheffield Avenue!!!!(or is it Waveland Avenue?) :D BTW Happy Birthday :toast: 21 right? *awaits his prize* :D

[ewagner]

3. Happy Birthday Plaider

We look forward to another year of your wisdom and humor........

:party: :party: :party:

[Plaid Adder]

11. Aw, thanks ewagner

I personally am only looking forward to another...what, 9 months of it. It has always been my intention to quit doing the column when Bush is out of the White House...which please God will be January 2005.

Or maybe even earlier,

The Plaid Adder

[ewagner]

29. There will still be plenty for you to do after

Dubya is defeated.

I am of the opinion that we (liberals and progressives) made a strategic error after Nixon was removed from the White House. We thought we had won. With the addition of years and hopefully a little more wisdom, I've come to realize that the battle for justice will never end and "constant vigilance" is indeed the price of liberty.

We'll always need your voice.

:party: Happy birthday again.

[Robb]

4. You know, I've always wondered

...where, exactly, you would be adding plaid. And whether it would come at the cost of taking away houndstooth or paisley somewhere'z. :silly:

[Plaid Adder]

13. Adding plaid is hard!

Plaids don't get along very well with each other. You have to keep them in separate tanks or they fight.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. How does it feel to be a subject of Emporer Shrub on your B-day?

Happy Birthday, BTW!!!

[Plaid Adder]

15. Bout the same as it feels any other day, except more bitterly ironic.

Seriously, my partner gave me the new Indigo Girls CD and when I was listening to "Perfect World" I about started crying on the line "Can we learn to live another way?"

But, we take the good with the bad,

The Plaid Adder

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. Lately it's been mor bad than good. I hope today it's all good for you!!!!

[LWolf]

32. Ok! If you could attend

any live musical performance to celebrate your B-Day, who would it be? Why?

:party:

[Plaid Adder]

37. Wow. Uh...probably the Indigo Girls.

Because I have been a fan of theirs for 15 years and they just so rock. Even though their later albums have not really grabbed me quite so much as the earlier ones, they still rock.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[LWolf]

57. I've never heard them.

I've heard their name, but never heard any of their music.

41. Have a lovely day, Plaid Adder! My question is, what is one of your

favorite hobbies?

[Plaid Adder]

42. Writing crap for Democratic Underground!

Also, I write a lot of other crap. And lately I've been watching a lot of baseball, but I don't know if that counts as a hobby.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[grannylib]

*lol* I would not characterize your writings as 'crap!'

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

44. Did you shed skin?

And when you do so, are you still plaid? The Polka-Dotted Adder wouldn't have the same ring to it.

BTW, happy b-day and :yourock:

[Plaid Adder]

45. Yes, I actually shed a lot

because I burn really easily. But don't worry, I'm plaid all the way through. These colors don't run!
