Not yet. Imagine, if you can, the disappointment of a young chicken upon finding out that he only got 3 Faberge eggs (instead of the customary 5) for his birthday to add to his collection. You guys don’t know you’re born…
Alright Benjamin Button, surely there is some bit of hardship in your childhood? Surely your parents FORCED you to go to bed when you wanted to stay up or SOMETHING!!

Expert Texpert, I might have gone with these lyrics in response to the FGVOTD:
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Whores.
Or this one….
When I get home.
When I’m getting home tonight, I’m gonna
Hold her tight.
I’m gonna love her till the cows come home,
I bet I’ll love her more,
Till I walk out that door
Again.

Biff got it right. Just good honest sweat, lad.
“Etson has the distinct sheen of British aristocracy about him…”
And here I was thinking he was just perspiring in the warm summer air.
“Etson, I was busting your chops with that silver spoon comment. you didn’t come across as being snobby enough be silver spoon child.

No, no. From what I have seen, Etson has the distinct sheen of British aristocracy about him…

I blame my parents.
For all you losers who had a bad childhood and, for me, remembering the best concert I ever attended:
It don’t come easy…george Harrison, The Concert for Bangladesh
WHAT…Leon Russell and Billy Preston were there
