I hope so, because I can't get the cork back in this champagne.

According to Leon's Facebook page, today is his birthday. (But my experience is that everyone lies on Facebook, so who knows.)

I didn't think I could invoke the name Obama without a few catcalls from the peanut gallery.

Default happy....
I'm wondering with such misinformation re: Leon's birthday whether we should
consider sending out the data for proper authentication by SGC or we may
find ourselves facing another thread on the horrors of 'misinformation' in our
hobby.
More importantly, happy belated Barry S. and Thanks for a great board,Leon
and thanks for trying Rich.

best,
barry

I've been trying to figure this out... couldn't make heads nor tails of it at first.

Now I have it. OUR Leon, the 25 cent Leon, his birthday is on Sept 5th. The confusing part is that there really are two Leon's, and that other one with the August birth month is the 50 cent Leon, not to be confused with our 2 bit version.

Default And what's wrong with a little comic relief
Although the thought was there -- the execution (well that left something to be desired)

Good song for the board here

You guys do know that it was NOT Leon's birthday yesterday, right?

Not only was it wrong on Facebook (which triggered this whole mess) but it was early by one month, which means we get to repeat this entire thread in early September.
