Happy 80th Birthday, VistaBill! Thank You for all your contributions to this board. You make this a better place to be every day! I’ll only be 62 on my next birthday, and I don’t feel as if I have even half of your vitality. I hope your day will be filled with fun & happiness, and spent with those you love. I also feel that, of all the people I’ve never actually met, you are one of the ones I respect the most, simply for your commentary. You are appreciated!

So they need someone who looks like Karloff to play Jonathan in Arsenic and Old Lace. I think we’ve seen someone who looks like that lately. Maybe Vitamin could do it with the right makeup, but that could lead to confusion later on. Hmmm….
Interesting. When I “hover” over the “Google” image, I see “Happy Birthday Vista Bill”. Maybe It’s me hallucinating! Or, I’m the only one that can see it!
Vista Bill *HAPPY*BIRTHDAY*! No tellin if I’ll make it as far as you. Heck, I’m just happy to be able to order from the senior menu at Denny’s! Keep going strong sir, we all enjoy having you here.
Today is a birthday, I wonder for whom? I know it’s for someone who’s right in this room So look all around you for somebody who, is smiling, and happy My Goodness, it’s YOU!
Happy Birthday, VistaBill From all of us to you Happy Birthday, VistaBill From Mommy and Daddy too We congratulate you, and pray good luck follows you. Happy Birthday, VistaBill, May all of your good dreams come true.

Can’t find an actor to play Johnathan, eh? I’m guessing they’re casting for “Arsenic and Old Lace”, ya think, what with Gruesome looking like Boris Karloff and Dr. Einstein (the name of another character in AaOL) looking like Peter Lorre.
If Gruesome tries out for the rôle of Jonathan in a Patterson Playhouse production of Arsenic and Old Lace, he may cross paths with Vitamin Flintheart and /or Kandikane Lane (if she ever gets off that motorcycle!). And that could bring Tracy into the picture. This could all be very convenient for Gruesome! Why, Dr. Einstein could even play Dr. Einstein! —Or would that be type-casting?
I’m on vacation this week, but when I saw it is the “LEGENDARY VISTA BILL’S BIRTHDAY” I had to comment… HAPPY 21ST VB! I’m trying to find a yellow fedora/trenchcoat combo in your size ;)
Happy Birthday, VistaBill!I’m wearing my party hat and throwing confetti into the air to celebrate. I’d have blown up balloons, but, despite all my hot air…VB, have a great day, and a great year (you’re only 80 once – unless you know something I don’t)No overeating birthday cake!
A fellow named George Burns, who lived to be 100 once said “If I knew I was going to live this long I would’ve taken better care of myself”. So, Happy Birthday Vista Bill and may you have a happy and healthy long life!
You are the Director for the play Arsenic and Old Lace at the Patterson Playhouse. You have Vitamin Flintheart as one of your cast members. What role do you have him play?1 – Mortimer Brewster2 – Jonathan Brewster3 – Teddy Brewster4 – Dr. Herman Einstein5 – Mr. Witherspoon6 – Reverend Dr. Harper7 – Lt. Rooney8 – Officer O’Hara9 – Officer Brophy10 – Officer Klein11 – Mr. GibbsYou get one guess.
