WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What joyous news! To be born on my birthday is a sheer sign of intelligence and spunk! Not to mention vivacity and a tendancy to remember Useless trivia Information. LET US KNOW as soon as possible. If you have to, take over the nurses station and log on to the boards! I mean, it’s not like they are really working or anything. I pray for a quick and safe delivery into this cold, cruel world! ---

Bring the missus a good pillow and a nice robe. They could well get ruined, but they will make her stay much more enjoyable. Congratulations. ---

Congrats! It’s the most mind numbingly beautiful thing you’ll ever experience. I’d strongly encourage you to be there in the room with her during the birth. 54 weeks ago today it brought tears to my eyes and made me roar with laughter at the same time. We’re really excited for you. And Duck, that was hilarious. ---
