Happy Second Rezzday, Clockwinder

[Ceejay Writer]

Wherein Let It Be Known....

Today, May 21, is the Clockwinder's second rezzday.

Today, May 21, the Clockwinder does not seem to be at hand.

Today, May 21, we could fill this discussion with poetry, unsolvable math riddles, gnome fashion advice, and lists of dairy farms with poor security.

Later, Not-May 21, he will find this Discussion and deport me to a High Security Zyngo Parlor for life.

I'm willing to risk it. Are you? Let the games begin.

Rum-spiked milk! Ye've invented a new drink, Red! Just add some ice and call it a Clockwinder.

[Elina Koskinen]

Have you never tasted a drink called White Russian? :D

[Katherine Montpark]

Ye can keep your nasty vodka. It's rum for me, or beer in a pinch.

The Prime Miniature has had to go away for a few days a little note sent to me says. So you should enjoy your last weekend Miss Ceejay :-)

[Ceejay Writer]

I'll do my best to go out in grand style!

((its better with scotch, leave out the sugar and vanilla. yes, i used to drink it, and ask for it at bars))

According to reputable sources (okay, a Google search), May 21 also happens to be:
- National Strawberries 'n Cream Day
- The day the American Red Cross was established in the U.S. (in 1881, no less, which just *happens* to be the current year in New Babbage), and
- National Waitstaff Day (everyone knows Tenk is a big tipper).
COINCIDENCE?! You decide!

His May 21 rezday also makes Tenk a Taurus. One description I read says that Tauruses (Tauri?) are "down to earth, pragmatic, [and] will stubbornly pursue a task to completion without deviation once [given] the impetus to get going (which may take a while)." Works for me.

Happy Birthday, Clockwinder!

(([grins and adds impishly] May 21 also happened to be my RL b-day! and i consider myself on the cusp of gemini & taurus! but thanks Ae for that interesting list! ))

I am a day late in wishing you a happy Rez day.
So the drinks are on me Clockwinder.
