Uncle Zach, Happy birthday again.
I loved the "hiricine"...strong smelling like a goat.
Go...Amy...altho' I'll have to admit I have not smelled Zach smelling like a goat.
Great tribute.
mom
Now the challenge to Zach - use them all in a single sentence. Good words there. And good video.
Happy Happy Birthday Zach!
Love the rendition of Weenie Man.
Happy Birthday, Zach. Loved the picture and especially the video. You are The Man! Love from the both of us. Aunt Shirley & Uncle David
nice choice of words...they made me laugh.
Happy birthday Zach. You will forever be the 18 year old in the bright yellow blazer (in my memory)
To suggest that I am a costive, hircine and zooid rodomont suffering from alopecia is highly offensive--nearly as offensive as the loud cries of "Yoicks" that emerged from the throats of fox-hunting hill-billies whose exclamations disturbed the concentration of the august augurs who were at that very moment explicating the portents of perambulating pigeons.
Eat your heart out, Aaron.
Thank you, all (and especially Amy Jo)!
Wow! You've increased my vocabulary. Happy Birthday, Zach.
