And how does one celebrate "1st Entry Day?" Cause if there's booze involved, I'm pretty sure you should let me know sooner rather than later.
Rupe now has "Hernando's Hideaway" engrained in his noggin. Thank you very much!
(Oh. Significance. Right. Congratulations. Seriously.)
................ Ruprecht
Rupe: Thank you. Sincerely.
Jessie: I can't speak for others, but I'll be marking the ocassion in solitude, silence and somber reflection. We must remind ourselves constantly so that it never happens again. Never again.
Since you prefer to celebrate in soliture,would it be in poor taste if some of us celebrated in your honor?
Rupe rejects Clark's explanation about "never happening again" totally.
Less'n, of course, Clark's holdin' out something from us ... (?????)
A'sides: It will still happen ... whether we're around or not .....
ohhhhhh snap! you go boy.
