Except Kaitlyn. You're in trouble for reminding people that I'm supposed to be aging; they'll start to get suspicious...

Good job on the whole birthing thing, mate.
I'll assume that you did a good job, at least. If you didn't, we probably wouldn't be celebrating it.

Many happy returns, hS! I hope this past orbit around the sun was a good one-- and I hope the upcoming one will be even better!

Cheers!

As a chemist and LotR tome-in-human-shape, I thought you might get a kick out of that. While you might already know of it, it's quite an old article, so you might have forgotten -- and it's always a pleasant thing to rediscover old knowledge.

Happy birthday, hS. =]

Many happy returns and mathoms-a-plenty!

HIT IT FOR THE BOARD'S OLD MAN!

Happy Birthday my olde friend.
It seems this horror show will never end.
Any moment's your last breath,
Here is to another day closer to death.

The cake is on the table,
And it is awfully bright,
'Cause there's so many candles on top.
But you are so decrepit,
Your chest so tight,
When you blow them out your lungs are gonna pop.

You cannot complain
Each time you feel a pain,
Though you have arthritis and gout.
'Cause when you start kvetching,
All your teeth fall out.

So have another cigarette,
Have another beer,
Raise your glass to one more year. (GONE!)

* starts clapping wildly and singing loudly *

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!
ON THIS DEAR DATE!
MUCH HAPPINESS!
MANY YEARS OF LIFE!

Well, if it's all in the name of celebrating...

*takes a deep breath and brings out the bullhorn*

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE
HOPE NOBODY MAKES YOU BLUE
AND YOUR CAKE DOESN'T EXPLODE IN GOO!

*throws cakefetti and blows noisemakers*

Many happy returns!

My salutations for the second oldbie of the Board. Thirteen years and still green, eh? ;)
