On a day like today, Val ‘El Machete’ Prieto was born

On a day like today, several decades ago, Val "El Machete" Prieto was born. Join us in wishing the founder of Babalú a very Happy Birthday as he celebrates his 39th year on earth for the umpteenth time.
The machete may be showing its age and isn't as sharp as it used to be, but it can still inflict some serious damage. ¡Así que cuidado!
Happy Birthday my brother from another mother!























Japi berrsdei tu yu......

Happy Birtday Val, from the frozen midwest.
Felix Cumpleaños Val, Happy Birthday!
From one old fart to another: Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Boss!
Si Raul Castro lo ve con ese sombrero de guajiro lo manda al campo a cortar caña, jajajajaja!
Happy 39th Val.
it looks like Alberto is still 38?
Well, if Henry, who looks like a baby, is 43, one can only imagine how old Val must be--but happy birthday just the same.
Asombra, you better zip your lip about how old I look...
Felicidades, broder
OK, George. I guess that would be elderly abuse.
Heh. Good one. You are a true word stylist, Mr. Asombra...
So can I get a prize for word styling if I claim to be "of color"? Nah. I'd still have to be PC.
