Happy 5th Anniversary!

January 28, 2003

January 28, 2004

Nelle: Broads, it's the anniversary of Clay's first appearance on American Idol! We need to celebrate. Any ideas?

Erin: What's the gift for first anniversary?

Wendy: Wood?

Lisa: *giggle* Wood? That's perfect!

Nelle: No, it's paper.

Robin: Let's pretend it's wood anyway.

Nelle: No, wood is the fifth anniversary. We have to wait.

Erin: But Nelle! What if we're not around in five years? What if Clay's not around?

Lisa: Look at the pictures, Nelle.

Nelle: No, I have to stand firm on this.

Erin: So is Clay.

Lisa: *giggle*

Nelle: Clay will be around in five years. We'll do a wood page then. Today, we need a proper 1st anniversary page.

Erin: Boo.

January 28, 2005

Nelle: Broads, it's our second anniversary!

Julie: Is it time for wood?

Erin: Clay says yes.

Nelle: No. We have to wait. Second anniversary is cotton.

January 28, 2006

Nelle: Guess what time it is again! Anniversary time!

Erin: Can we ...

Nelle: No.

Lisa: But you don't know what she was going to ask?

Nelle: No.

Jill: But ...

Nelle: No.

Karen Eh: We're never going to get to use these pictures.

Nelle: Yes we will. In two years.

Jannet: But look on the bright side. 3rd anniversary is LEATHER!

January 28, 2007

Nelle: Happy Fourth Anniversary, Broads!

*crickets*

Nelle: Be that way. You can sit and sulk and wait one more year. Meanwhile, I'll celebrate our 4th anniversary.

January 28, 2008

Nelle: Broads, do you know what today ...

Broads: Wood! Wood! Wood! Wood!

Nelle: I guess you remembered.

Broads, dancing and singing:

Lovely wood, wonderful wo-o-od,
Lovely wood, wonderful Wood,

Woo-o-o-o-o-o-o-od,
Woo-o-o-o-o-o-o-od,

WOO-O-O-O-O-O-OD,

LOVELY WOOD, LOVELY WOOD,
LOVELY WOOD, LOVELY WOOD,
