21 HIM came out to the gloom with a Q noting YHC 51st birthday on Sunday. Playlist was the long-anticipated answer to the question “Vector, what songs do you consider the best of the 1980s?” Basically, if these songs are on the radio in my car, don’t change the channel. There was mumblechatter from the PAX about “why ’80s? Wasn’t he born in the 70s?” to which I respond, “it’s my birthday. So there.”
Playlist:
Need You Tonight – INXS
Take on Me – a-ha
Everything She Does is Magic – Police
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) – Eurythmics
Everybody Wants to Rule the World – Tears for Fears
Just Can’t Get Enough – Depeche Mode
Head Over Heels – The Go-Go’s
Billie Jean – Michael Jackson
Blue Monday – New Order
West End Girls – Pet Shop Boys

COT:
- Welcome FNGs Softballz and Tagalong!
- Prayers for Chattanooga PAX who lost a new HIM (Night Sweats) in a car accident.
- River Dawg is hosting a session on Human Trafficking on Thursday 3/18 at 6:30am — hit him up for the deets.
- And sincere thanks to the HIM and F3. I recalled my last birthday Q last March, which happened just as the world was starting to shut down. I recalled pretty much losing it in the COT (and that that was the last “ball of men” COT we’ve had since). Thanks to the PAX and especially Cub Cadet, T-cell, PA, Hi-Viz, Crablegs and Pumpkin Spice for the fellowship this year. Thankfully there is optimism and a vaccine. Thanks to all of you. #ISI
