Hell, some guys have all the luck. Estanley gets to drink for fun today, that's just frickin' great. Just wait till you turn 45/46 old man. Then, you'll get to spend your night and day drinking this nasty stuff that you mix up, taste like badassed salt water, and leaves you feeling like your going to die lile Elvis.... on the crapper. Hell again, you guessed it..... I get the scope treatment here in a short while this afternoon. Nothing beats getting a year older ! Happy Birthday Big E, and please accept my electronic offering of some Makers Mark, serveed up any way you like it !

Well now, happy birthday. Glad to have met you last month, will have a belated b-day beer at our next mutual 'fro encounter.
Here's to hoping the trophy wife has a PBR for each of us - I mean, it WAS voted America's Best in 1893!

That would be Aaron Fowler, drummer for the Turkeys (and the Legendary JCs)...and he's showing you his right man-boob.

You wanna talk about fun! A great time had by all indeed. Suewebb and Eric's mom (aka Millie) did a helluva job pulling off a surprise party right down to his second favorite band!!

He was shocked when they came in the door of the place and there's like 30+ people yelling surprise. He's making his way around the room--not yet noticing that Ernie from Nervous Turkey is in the corner setting up. Finally Ernie hits a few notes on his harp and E's head whips around, his eyes get bigger'n pie pans and his mouth drops down to his pelvical region.

This vid's a great representation of the spirit of the evening; featuring Nervous Turkey's Ernie Locke, Aaron and Mark they lay it down funky and nasty. Also featuring John Dude, Elizabeth, Mark's wife Lisa, my trophy wife, E, E's girl Suewebb and other revelers. Me? Somebody had to operate the camera...

"Spinach Popeye" is one of the most fun songs that Turkey does. (Besides, Mark gets to sing on this one. That's like having Daryl sing back up y'all.)

The dude dancing--damned if I can remember his name but I think he's a friend of Eric's--only came on the floor once and this was it. He was great. Ernie says at the end that it's "the best Popeye I've seen...ever." FuckinA

Thanks for sharing all the fun! It's wonderful to look through these pictures and videos, I almost felt like I was there!

Eric, just remember growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional =)

Thanks Giggles...no worries on that note!

The man in the Popeye video is Cajun, a brother of mine from WAY back. Here is a pic of him in less joyful times...protecting our asses in Fallujah, Iraq.
