Funny enough, Skip renewed his Premium Membership here this morning!
(thanks Skip!)
I think I saw LION post something earlier today as well. His post alluded to a new member for the NAtion next year - the birthday boy himself!

Take the piss (out of someone) vb. British -- to mock, deride, poke fun (at). This vulgarism has been in widespread use since the late 1940s. The original idea evoked by the expression was that of deflating someone, recalling the description of a self-important blusterer as 'all piss and wind.'
