I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone this year and hope there’s some new faces as well.

Beautiful Canadian sunshine, warmth and fun. We got another inch of flurries last night, but it is suppose to be 50 degrees by the weekend. Spring is coming, I checked it on the calendar.

Well, I have an official piece to paper that says I was born, rather than hatched. Anything else I’ll need besides warp plasma?
(Seems to me it’s rather obvious I was born. Reptiles don’t have…)
Bheer …!!
Today, we are officially another month closer to the event. Plans are afoot (or maybe that is afeet) to make haste toward the northern boundary of this fair country and once again lay pillage to those unsuspecting soles in the Capitol of our northern Allies. (Background music plays “Gypsies in the Palace” and fades to black.)
…will we Canadians/Canadiens, without anything much more than a motely band of Sea cadets, and ex hippies, be able to “Welcome” the “Southern Hoards” in an appropriate manner…?
We may have to hire a brewery and staff from far off Belgium, to handle the situation…!
All we require Fred, is your presence, your back yard and the rest of that motley crew from the OVGRS…everything else just seems to take care of itself…

Mebbe some Bioneumatic gel to trade with the natives...
Isn’t trading in gels what used to be known as white slavery? Probably get one or two of us in trouble with the old strife …
Chris, my lonely son…maybe this year you can find one hour of your time to come out and meet the “Invaders”…they would enjoy meeting you, and it would prove that you aren’t …and I’ll say this again…YOU ARE NOT another face on FR.Fred…a’ la…a Vogel with multi personalities…!!!
“and it would prove that you aren’t …and I’ll say this again…YOU ARE NOT another face on FR.Fred…a’ la…a Vogel with multi personalities…!!!”
Yeah Fred, like we are going to bellieve that. You’ll probably find some wino from a soup kitchen and bribe him to play your alternate personality Chris Vernell. Try like you may, I don’t think this will work. Many of us have met Carl and his tuba. Vic, Victoria, Vogel, Vernell its all a game between you and Carl. You get Chris to come over and we’ll all play along.
Thank you for the phone call, the thought was much appreciated.
Fred Mills said:I certainly hope to, Friar. I have the days off because daughter is going away and guess who will be looking after Asher. Now Asher, as his big brother observes, has two states -- "sleep" and "GO!" -- so I shall try to get his uncle to look after him for a few hours.
Chris, my lonely son......maybe this year you can find one hour of your time to come out and meet the "Invaders"........
