Happy Birthday Laffite!

Thank you, Swithin.

Although I would rather kiss Virginia Capacelli. Or even Sophie de la Borde though she wouldn't afford me the slightest glance. Virginia is more vulnerable and sentimental. And she's rich!

Cool! That's Virginia on the left, as you know. I love her when she walks the side of a hill, with tears in her eyes, longing in her aspect, and finding a window of the inn through which she gazes yearningly at the Chevalier. I've never seen Laura Betti in another movie and I don't think I want to. I like her just like this (though she is so sad).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAFFITE!


(...may all the calls go your way today)

What you make today Laffite? Congratulations at any rate. Keep on truckin’ and I’ll see ya next year at the Mardi Gras.

Thank you, Dargo. That's one jaunty umpire (if that is one). The mental set he has before a game behind the plate. A kind of what-me-worry cast of mine. He would look good wearing a coxcomb as well.

Thanks, Thompson. Sorry, I'll be in Olde Monte Carlo that week. So long as I still breathe of course. Enjoy the gras!

... just caught your meaning (maybe). Yes, that is a nice glance but I am afraid it's for the world, not me alone. Hanna is fave!

Thanks Detective. Amazingly I didn't like Amadeus the first time. Now I love it. Very appropriate Cap'n.

The late George Jones would have called you an old-timer.
More complementary than me calling you an old faught.
That's how it rolls off the tongue in Massachusetts.

Thanks Jimimac71, all the more appreciated considering your typing problem. Many thanks. I don't speak Massachusetts-ese and I don't know what "faught" means but here in Sunny Cal most refer me as an "old muck." (expurgated). Cheers!

Thanks, dianedebude, and thanks for the Yummies. Boy they were good, I just scarfed them up. If you ever get locked out of your screen name I hope you come back diane de bude, similar and hopefully the software would accept it. You may then purport to be a Royal Queen or some Great Lady of yore (or now). At your service, my Lady!!!!

Cheers!

Thank You.

May I say you have been a fave poster over the years. Sharp quips and mucho LOLs, etc., as well as perceptive viewpoints, and very genuine.

Cheers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAFFITE!



Sorry if I had missed it-hope you enjoyed your day!
