I'm 35 today, and you're not . . .

[Jack Batty]

Well, unless you were also born on August 11th, 1965, then I guess you are 35 today too.





Or if your birthday is Aug 10, 1965 and you are crossing the international date line, then I suppose you are 35 today too.




Wait a minute, is that the way it works?
Never mind.




BUT if your birthday is Aug 12, 1965, and you were crossing the international date line ...

Eh, technicalities.

[/sing-song]










Okay, I suppose if you are a dog and you were born on Aug 11th, 1995, this would be your 35th "dog-year" birthday.







Or if your on a boat near the international dateline and you are a dog who was born on ....





Ah, crap, just forget the whole thing. Being 35 is depressing anyway.

[Silo]

Happy Birthday!

[CanadianSue]

Being 35 is depressing? Hell no, you are entering into the best years of your life!! Happy Birthday, enjoy your day!

[Persephone]

Nope, I'm not 35. Nor is my birthday today. But I'm getting close--I'm 33.

So, how does it feel? I gotta start practicing!
Happy Birthday! :D

[Jack Batty]

Truth be told - I'm in better physical shape now than when I was 25, so I feel great.

Thanks, everybody, for the birthday wishes.

[Milossarian]

Hey, I'm 41, and I'm in the best shape of my life.

Actually, I'm not. That's from a cheesy Bow-Flex commercial.

Anyway, happy birthday.

[Bottle of Smoke]

Happy Birthday, Jacky boy. Have a big ol' plate of Hamburger Helper and a slice of cake on the house.

[Merlot]

but I will be 5 months from today. :D

[Moe]

Hey!! I'm 35 today too!!! YEAH for us!!
























Actually, I lied. I'm only 24 and my B-day is in Nov. I just wanted attention.

[struuter]

Well, 35 or not, merry birthday. Now, let's see that birthday dance. Come on...it's either the birthday dance or the 35 spankings. You pick. Of course, if your dance isn't up to standards, we may spank you anyway.

[Jack Batty]

Wow, what an illustrious group.

Claus Von Bulow
Hulk Hogan
Jerry Falwell

I certainly have a lot to live up to.

I now strive to be a steroidal, balding, bible-thumper with homicidal tendencies.

[Bubble Girl]

I was taught to respect my elders so Happy Birthday Mr. Batty! :D You also share your birthday with this great guy. (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34216) Have a good day!

[Jack Batty]

Struuter, if you saw me dance, you'd never stop spanking me.

[ChiefScott]

Well, I'm on a ship.

I'm not near the International Dateline (I'm actually three hours ahead of EST).

And my birthday's tomorrow.

See if anyone cares.

But I do know the difference between "your" and "you're."

[Moe]

Oh, BTW, Happy B-day Jack.
A lot of people consider 35 to be the beginning of the end of life.
::staring upwards at an angle pensively::
well, happy birthday.

[Qwisp]

Actually I am 35 today. I was 35 yesterday and I'll be 35 tommorrow. 36 comes around in October.

Happy Birthday Jack.

Happy early Birthday Chief. How 'bout a beer and a shot of tequila? or two maybe three. Usually It takes about a 12 pack and 6 or 7 shots before I start flashing people, but for you I'll make an exception.

Tina

[Jack Batty]

Jeez, Chief, gimme a break. Me throwing around that many homonyms, it's a miracle I only got one wrong. You may also notice an almost impeccable use of apostrophies, almost unheard of for me.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

35.... I vaguely remember 35...

Happy Day!

[waterj2]

Hey, it's also Marilyn Vos Savant's birthday today. It is also the day that the Mayan Great Calendar started on. But most importantly it's my birthday as well. Of course, I'm only 22, which is a completely useless age. Now off to start my own thread.

[Robot Arm]

You're right, I'm not 35 today. But I only missed by three-and-a-half hours.

[tradesilicon]

I'm 35 today, and you're not . . .
Oh yes I am!

Truth be told - I'm in better physical shape now than when I was 25, so I feel great.
Could not agree more. Best time of life, so far. (Slightly srcewed up in the head, but otherwise loving it).

Happy B-day to all you August 11th/12th/closetoit folk.

Heeheehee.

[Jack Batty]

Wow, Lot of B-days today. Happy happy to tradesilicon, RobotArm (+/- 3 1/2 hours), waterj2 and Jean Grey twice. And don't forget Sealemon. I'll even wish a Happy Birthday to Marilyn Vos (idiot)Savant, to show that I'm just that damn magnanimous .

[Silver Fire]

Didn't you mention that today was your birthday yesterday? In a thread somewhere, maybe? I swear, I was going to start a thread for you. Sadly, I didn't have the time. Happy Birthday anyway!

[Jack Batty]

Yeah, I think I may have mentioned it.

I'm a slut for attention, what can I say?

[Sealemon88]

Happy, happy birthday, Jack Nice to meet my fellow 8-11 brother and sister.

Leos rule, man!

sorry, my meds wore off. anyway, happy 35th. I'll be there soon enough. From what I've seen so far the third decade is going to be the best: Old enough to know how to be bad without winding up in jail, ya know? :)

[Anniz]

A Swedish Birthdaysong.

Ja, må han, leva, Ja, må han, leva,
Ja, må han, leva uti hundrade år.
Ja, må han, leva, Ja, han, leva,
Ja, må han, leva uti hundrade år.

"Ett fyraldigt leve... leve han. HURRAH, HURRAH, HURRAH, HURRAH."

Happy Birthday.:)

[Geek Mecha]

Happy 35th birthday, Jack! You still haven't told me what kind of Hamburger Helper you're going to celebrate with!

Happys also to Jean Grey and an early one to ChiefScott.

[silent_rob]

Happy Birthday Jack, and also Happy Birthday to all of those others mentioned: tradesilicon, RobotArm, waterj2, Jean Grey, and Hulk Hogan.
