Good news: My brother-in-law and my older sister (his wife) came to visit us and celebrated my birthday with me today!

^ happy birthday!

Bad news: your birthday will be over tomorrow.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: there's another one next year.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: there is no birthday cake any more.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: if it's because someone left it out in the rain, you can write a hit song about it.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: sounds like a dumb song that people will hate.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: even though I'm tempted, I'm not going to post the song.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: I was still a little curious about it.

 

[public hermit]

Good news: Me too.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: I think he was just kidding about the song.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: I have a couple dozen versions within range of a few mouse clicks, including punk and disco and county-western and more, but I'll post the original.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: Great song, but I detected a few notes that seemed a bit flat.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: I finally got rid of my Richard Harris sideburns this year.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: you still have Richard Harris’s mustache.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: Women who are old enough to remember Richard Harris are very attracted to me.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: they are only mistaking you for Elvis.

 

[public hermit]

Good news: We can stop this uncomfortable conversation because I am here, which is certain to make all of us much more uncomfortable.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: our discomfort is far worse than we ever imagined.

 

[Chesterton]

Good news: Southern Comfort is good for discomfort.

 

[lucypevensie]

Bad news: I’m alcohol free, so that doesn’t help me.
