Jolly!
You're coming up to 8888!
Let's have a party!

I am game.

Oooohhhh, 8888, a very auspicious number in some cultures! Go buy a lottery!

Lucy, I am curious. How can we "party" online? I am game but at a loss for how it works.

Where is Jolly anyway? We can't party without him.

Well jf, if you could only have gazed across The Atlantic last night........................
Here I was, in my little boxahem computer room with a little shiny hat perched at a jaunty angle on top of my head. The hat - with a little bit of elastic resting just under my chin-framing the saddest countenance you've ever seen......Between my lips was one of the vvvvvvvvt things that roll out when you blow them. In my hand an empty glass. Empty but for a single tear..............A tear that trickled silently down one cheek, paused near a smile that was never to be, and then bid farewell to the party that never was..............

Lucy, if only I'd known. I have been away for three days. If you throw another party, I will surely attend!

Luckily, I was looking Lucy. On that very evening I stood gazing Northeast from the coast over the Atlantic the waves chilling and cold to England where my heart lies. My mind was distracted and confused. My thoughts were many miles away, they were with you when you were asleep and then kissed you when you started you day.

And the post I was writing waws left undone, you know I don't know why I spend my time writing thoughts I can't believe, with words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And you see Lucy, I have come to doubt all that I used to believe as true. I stand alone without beliefs--the only truth I know is you. And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die, I know that I am like the rain. There but for the grace of you, go I.

Lucy,

Tomk is soo cool...and so smooth...and so well versed...so smart.....and so full of .......well, he will be the first to tell you.

Jack,

I'll agree with you on the last two items, as far as the first four items--whilest they are also true, I'm too humble to admit to them.

And Lucy,

I'm Polish not Bulgarian.
