At this point, I may just go back to bed! I’m too baffled to try to figure out what you’re saying. As Nighthawks would say, “Whoooosh! Right over my head!”
By the way, did someone mention mead before? I’ve been saving these special bottles of mead and beer for just such a special occasion as Susan’s birthday. It’s not too early, is it?
I know I fell asleep in my chair… am I still dreaming?
I must be seeing things… I’d better go to bed.
…
Thank you Gerard, for all the birthday stuff.
See you later….

Good morning, fellow Sunshine phans!
From puzzle subject to LEGEND. Blackjack Basset is one mean puppers.
NATIONAL WEAR YOUR PAJAMAS TO WORK NATIONAL BEAN COUNTER NATIONAL ORCHID NATIONAL HEALTHCARE DECISIONS NATIONAL EGGS BENEDICT NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR MEDICINE CABINET
We always celebrate National Eggs Benedict with – guess what? – and champagne. I’ll have to remember in the future that it’s also our dear Susan’s birthday.
Anyway, this party just keeps getting better and better!
…and you just missed your trusted loyal deputy by that much/little…
Susan’ll be happy that you showed up here on her birthday, no less!!!
I’ll have a banana daiquiri; thank you.
Oh my gosh!!! It’s been EONS since we’ve “seen” each other!!! Hey! Remember this??
 
……………………………………
I sure hope we don’t have to wait another few years before we meet up again! We could use a sheriff around these parts, you know…….and, no one does that job better! Susan has been the best manager of the Tiki and keeps it running smoothly! But, I know we’d all like to see more of you! Any chance??
Most of the pictures and symbols in that picture were avatars of active commenters back in the heyday of Ballard St (the date on the picture is 2013). At that time, I was identified as a rooster since that was my avatar. I’m to Susan’s right. The blender on her head…..well, she can explain that. Sheriff Munky Bluz is behind the bar, Linguist is the pirate in front, No. 6 is Patrick McGoohan, Grog is on the barstool and I can’t quite remember who the sniper was…..I think it was a guy named Veteran, but I can’t be sure. And, our dear, dear friend, x_Tech (whom we so miss) is relaxing in the wicker chair over in the lower right. His avatar was a cat that is barely visible on his shoulder. The woman with the big white hat in front is BevieK, who quit the comics when they took away the pictures and videos.
Thankfully, Susan has a better memory than I do!!
Thanks, P51Strega. I just wish the picture had a better resolution
Happy Birthday, Susan, again. You deserve every good wish that is posted here! You certainly brighten up everyone’s day whenever you appear. I have never seen anyone who gives so much of herself every single day!
So, here is one of my favorite birthday breakfasts………
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!! I’ve been gone all morning and will be gone the rest of the day and the weekend. But, I had to take a minute to wish you a fabulous and fun birthday. After reading everything here, I will probably be late for a very important date, but you are much more important. Enjoy all the food and fun on your special day.
Blackjack Bassett better be careful so that his horse doesn’t step on those sharp shards of the word balloons or everybody will laugh at him.
Happy, happy, happy!!!

Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy Birthday! I’ll try to look at the party tonight when i get back from my last client. What little i saw, it looks like it was fun. 🙂
O-Ren Ishii, the Queen of the Crime Coucil, had a similar thing to say (except she used bad words that cannot be repeated here).
At this point, I may just go back to bed! I’m too baffled to try to figure out what you’re saying. As Nighthawks would say, “Whoooosh! Right over my head!”
Anyway, GOOD MORNING!
Blackjack Basset: “Anybody else here have something to say?”
O-Ren Ishi:* “Now, if any of you sons of bi***es got anything else to say, now’s the f***ing time!”
* Kill Bill, Vol. 1
Bonus O-Ren Ishi quote: “That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword.”
P.S. All this really was for nighthawks’ benefit.
wiggle your big toe
Silly Caucasian girl likes to play with Samurai swords.
you and I have unfinished business
Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?
of course he did
Of course, she asked right after one head bounced of the table(?) floor(?)
Kill Bill 1&2 binge this weekend
bad words are acceptable here–cuss all you want!
but other folks might not agree with me. so…..
never mind!
By the way, did someone mention mead before? I’ve been saving these special bottles of mead and beer for just such a special occasion as Susan’s birthday. It’s not too early, is it?
I did. – And it’s never too early for good mead.
CEST here anyway.
ah, from my neck of the woods!
ah yes a big glass of Edmund Fitzgerald.
taste so good going down
Boo!
I feel bad now because all I can do is laugh at that!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSAN!!
OSHA wouldn’t let me build a cake.
Every time I throw the dice I get Sunshine, lucky me!
YIKES!!!
Giant ME-dice!

Have you tried?
And for those of you that don’t like cake there’s …..
Ooooooh… – and there are purplie pies involved there!
Maybe purplie blueberry?
Me Too, I’ll take the blueberry!
Of course! I was thinking of your preference all along.
And I love blueberries too…
I’ll have one of those… and one of those… and one of….
Ooooh, brandy! Throw more brandy!
That’s rum! I don’t mix my cakes!
Oh man, I can feel my waistline expanding even now.
And, now….for the TV addicts out there….(am I the only one?)…a little wake-up music…
…..
Love it, where do you find these?
Like I find all the stuff on YouTube: I fall down the rabbit hole and then stumble across it! They were surprisingly good, weren’t they?
Thank you so much Stelbel….
You’ve done so much!
As I said above…
I fell asleep trying to keep up!
…
Now it’s dawn and I have to go to bed….
but I’ll be back…
Everybody party on!
…
I need sleepy-bye music… not wake-up!
But it’s OK… cos I won’t be here listening till I’m up again…
G’night!

grillin’ Yak ribs
Birthday party at the world famous Tiki
I LOOOOVE the Tiki party scene!
OK, I looked closer. The blender on Susan’s head is hysterical! What is the deal with the sniper on the roof?

Gosh…. Thanks Perkycat!
I enjoyed BlackJack Basset. I hope we see more of him!
With all this excitement going on, I forgot about BlackJack Basset. What a hero!
I’ve had to be away from the computer today, and I was already having problems keeping up.
But I love Blackjack…. Even though I’m not sure “hero” is the right word.
Me too!
