Is this what happens when you turn 40?
Val is temporarily out of commission.
He fainted at work, and is currently at one of the local hospitals. His BP is high, he is being treated for vertigo, and they are running some tests.
I will update as I know more.
Mora, feel free to help me entertain until our host returns. I think there are a few beers in the fridge.
Thanks,
Amanda

I have only had the pleasure of meeting Val a couple of times… I am a friend of Amanda, his niece. Amanda just called me and let me know that Val was taken to the hospital, and though she explained that it was not serious, my jaw hit my desk… first thought??? Who’s running Babalu???????? So my question then is this… Val, what do you think you are doing? Who said that you had permission to get sick??? What kind of benefit package do you think you have??? J I wish you a very speedy recovery and I can’t wait for you to get back to business and kick some Fidel ass!!!!

I told you Budweiser was poison! A word of advice...if anyone over there offers to give you an enema, check their ID first.
Guess we're eating salad at ManCamp from now on.
I want to visit you in the hospital. Will they let me smoke cigars in your room?

I prescribe one smoked Turducken.

Forget cigars, the question is will they let you smoke a pork shoulder in his room?
God Bless

Can you feed Budweiser intravenously?

You are not allowed to get ill, after I have just discovered this site. Very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Why Val and not barbudo?
Get well soon, Val - we await your return!!!!!
Damn New York snow, it's no place for a Cuban!

Damn, guy, this is not good!
Personally, I agree with Steve: it's the Bud.
Get well, lots and lots more weenies out there to offend by calling fidel crap-eating dog he is.

Actually, I think he needs MORE Bud, not less.

Val con 40 no te jodas.
Get Well!

Feel better soon Val!
I blame all of this on Steve's cooking ;)

"Actually, I think he needs MORE Bud, not less."
Don't listen to such errant nonsense, Val: Budweiser is swill, useful only for tricking people into thinking it's Champagne.* I prescribe GOOD beer. Seriously, hope you're alright and get well soon.
*Don't believe me? Pour it into a flute as soon as it's opened and most people WILL believe it's Champagne. It's their expectations playing tricks with their minds.

Budweiser forever, Dave J.
