Well, it’s that time again… a new month means new monthly birthdays to celebrate! I hope all the August babies have a great birthday and year, and that you have health / happiness blessings / peace this year. :slight_smile:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!!!

Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)

“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”

Approximate English Translation of Above:

“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Thanks. I’m getting old. I have 7 grey hairs now. I think this year for my birthday I’ll just pretend I’m still 23. . .

3

Woo Hoo!!!

Happy birthday, all! Especially to MrO: at his age, you can’t expect too many more of them…:stuck_out_tongue:

4

Joyeux anniversaire! :cool:

5

August 6th here.

And I gotta work. :frowning:

Poor me.

Aaron (aka Bomb Bay Doors) turns one today! We’re having breakfast at IHOP, running a few errands, and then we’re having lunch with Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger birthday cake with fifteen or so of our closest relatives and friends.

Happy birthday to the other August people!

August 28 for me. Born in '69, but late enough to have missed out on all the fuss.

8

Thanks, Flami. :slight_smile:

Mine’s August 10, when I’ll turn 40. Doesn’t seem entirely real that I’m that old, but … hey, can’t argue with th’ birth certificate!

Happy Birthday to my fellow August Dopers! :slight_smile:

9

August 11th.

I share a birthday with Alex Haley, Mike Douglas, and most importantly, Hulk Hogan.

10

August 30th…

Goin’ white-water rafting for the first time on my birthday. :slight_smile:

Happy Birthday to the rest of ya :slight_smile:

Don’t forget me!

I’ll be 29 on the 28th. One more year of numerically-excuseable fun before I have to settle into the life of a 30-year-old.

I’m celebrating with Springsteen at the Stadium on the big day, some 8-ball and beers on Friday, and then maybe Sea Girt for the remainder of the weekend.

Happy birthday to all you other Dopers this month!

12

August 28th. I will be working, as I have a deadline coming up, although I may go out for a quiet meal with the other half at the weekend.

13

Mine’s the 22nd. No real plans – maybe we’ll meet with my parents – but my wife will still be recovering from the fact that our daughter is going off to college, so I expect it to be subdued.

14

Oops, I just realized that I did forget little Aaron! No slight intended, MsRobyn… I just saw the thread you had up for him, and that reminded me. I definitely will have him on the list for next year. :wink:

Anyone else out there? There must be SOME more…

Happy Birthday DJ

I remember when you were so sweet and innocent looking…
I remember when you got mad because everyone bought clothes for
you one year…
I remember we had to get a pony for you every year…
And I REMEMBER when you loved BUBBLES!!!
I know I shouldn’t say this but DJ needs BUBBLES!!!
Love Ya DJ !!!

16

I’ll be the BIG FOUR-OH on the 24th.

I plan on doing not a damned thing.

17

August 22nd for me and I am hoping to get a Real Job as an early birthday present.

18

August 8th for me. The big Two-Zero. Woo! No longer a teenager! And still unable to legally drink! Dammit! Heh.

No plans as of this moment, but… eh, who knows.

19

August 24th for me too. Definately into my 30s now… 31. I have no plans, but I’m going to a family reunion next week.

20

On the 30th, I’ll turn 17. Damn, I’m old. I won’t be doing anything.
