Happy Birthday Rod

Break out the bubbles and blow up the balloons, today is not only the Summer Solstice (or Winter Solstice here in the Southern Hemisphere - mulled wine anyone?) it's also Roderick C. Meredith's birthday. Born this day in 1930, Rod is now a Methuselah-like 86 years old. Sadly, Rod doesn't approve of birthdays (tough luck if you're a kid growing up under his authoritarian administration) so it's highly doubtful he'll be blowing out any candles or pinning any tails on donkeys (though the LCG ministry certainly has a lot of braying asses available).

A trivia question for this auspicious occasion. What does the formibable 'C' in Rod's name stand for? Charles? Christopher? Crispian? Anyone able to help out? It's unlikely to be the same as Packatollah Dave's: full name David Crowl Pack.

Crowl? Does that rhyme with growl, yowl and foul?

Sing along to the old "Happy Birthday Song"

You suck off the COG ...

You sound like a monkey...

and you act like a dog!

You inadvertently used an obscene phrase.

(Especially considering the lawsuit) let him eat cake.

At the risk of appearing hopelessly naive, I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe somebody can enail me off the board and explain.

A reasonable guess as to the name the middle initial "C" is "Clarence." here:http://www.hwalibrary.com/cgi-bin/get/hwa.cgi?action=getmagazine&InfoID=1387723682

Discovery on the Scarborough lawsuit is beginning with high stakes for Meredith and the LCG.

And then there's Marie Antoinette before the French Revolution responding to the starving poor asking for food: "Let the eat cake".

It sort of typifies Meredith's approach to the membership.
