This aint no Chickenshit drilling!
On this day, many many many years ago, our very own Pitbull was unleashed upon this world. Rumor has it that upon being spanked in the behind in order to force his first breath and subsequent cries, our very own Pitbull, in what would be the first sure fire sign of the true character of the man we all know and love, regaled the doctors and nursing staff with an impromptu oration of General George S Patton's Speech to the Third Army, which he concluded, in a blazing eyed animation of the Great World War II General as follows:
There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, "Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana." No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, "Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-Bitch named Georgie Patton!"
George "Pitbulll" Moneo, happy birthday, my brother. It's an honor calling you friend and may you enjoy many many more birthdays and many many more battles to come. It's a privilege being in your ranks, sir.

Happy Birthday! Don't do anything I wouldn't do. If you do, be careful. If you can't be careful, name it after me :)

You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great ideological war to defeat the isms, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, "Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in the Ivy League." No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, "Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Army of Truth and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-Bitch named Georgie Moneo!"

Happy Birthday George!! I am a better person for knowing you and I thank you for all your help and kindness. Yes, I'm outing you-- El Pitbull has a huge kind heart and fortunately for all of us here at Babalu it's a lions heart. Brave, true and fearless. Mucho abrazos amigo, I wish you long life, great happiness and a free Cuba.

Happy Birthday, George. I don't care what Val says about you, you're alright.

Thanks guys. Your words mean a lot to me at my advanced age. I'd join the AARP today, since it's my first day of eligibility, but they're all liberal dickheads, so I'll pass :-)

"Cry: Havoc! And let loose the Pitbull of BlogWar!" That is meant as a compliment. Belated felicidades and may you keep going, and going, and going, Energizer Bunny-like, with your great "to whom it may irritate" writing.
