 | ...today is OFC Founders' Day. All hail Miles and Al! 
 (It also happens to be my month - 08C #21 is the featured guitar, and the 21st is the day I celebrate the 29th anniversary of my 21st b-day).

 This July I turned 49 for the very first time. I think I'll do it a few more times as well.
 
 Thank you Mr. Big and Miles!

 | Seriously, Thank-you for starting the OFC Al & Miles. I've meet some great,kind, generous and thoughtful people through this site.I'm indebted to a couple and have had the pleasure of paying it forward to some. I've had some laughs and have learned a few things along the way. All because of your "vision" and love of the Ovation. |

 | Wow, and I thought I had a lot to celebrate before! Today marks five years since I moved to Hot Springs. It has been the best five years of my life. And to think I share that anniversary with the founding of this board which has brought me friendship, information and a much thinner wallet! 
 Seriously though, thanks Al and Miles. You have made all our lives better.

 | Is today Founder's Day, celebrating the Founders?  I don't think the board was founded today, unless the idea came up today and then the board was created towards the end of 2001.  I joined in March 2002 which was fairly early in the board's life.... |

 | Miles, Al; you are now officially using someone elses 15 minutes.  Good going, they weren't doing bugger all with it anyway. 
 I consider it an honour to know you and be part of this wonderful thing.
 
 ....I was going to say "this thing of ours" but that may have been picked up by an FBI filter......

 | Guys... geez... come on... get-a-life. 
 The Sub-Committe Of Special Comemorative Day Selection Task Force is an offshoot of the OFC Calendar Executive Affairs Committe. They are all punch-drunk with power and have taken to just making things up to suit their own nefarious needs.
 I suggest you just submit to their will and roll with it.

 - "Take a guitar outside and see if it has a shadow" - Feb - Groundhog's Day alternative.
 
 - "Give away a guitar Month" - December.
 
 - "What Would Brad Do (WWBD) Day?" Open

 | Indeed... there is a special process for submitting suggestions for "Special Day" recognition. It involves sending a $20 "Concideration Fee" to..... me.
 I'll make sure the money gets to the right place.  ;)
