Gus the Tortoise celebrated his 90th birthday on Sunday with almost 1,000 people at the Museum of Natural History in Halifax. Museum staff believe Gus, who is barely bigger than a kitten, is the oldest gopher turtle in the world.

PSYCH!!  :D

Gus, is it actually your B-day? None of the forum profiles show birth dates to me, not even my own. ???

No, none of that kind of thing. I'm more concerned about waking up in a strange hotel room in a country whose name I cannot pronounce to find myself next to a snoozing buxom milf, a suitcase full of banknotes, a recently fire rifle and matching case, and a ferocious pounding on the hand carved wooden door while blue lights flash just outside the only window. Where are my pants?

Something quiet with the girlfriend.  I find myself sans half my family, so, the party options are limited.  That and we're all counting pennies.  CKII seems to be on the horizon though, so, you need to get your sh*t to gether and learn how to play and ENJOY the game so we can MP with all the other fine enthusiasts here.  ;-)
