Well, I suppose it was harmless. Why it was supposed to be funny, I don’t know. I have a friend like that who likes playing little jokes on people’s trust, cracks him up every time that we “fall for it”. Ha! YEAH! That’s so fucking funny that I trust you! **What a fucking idiot I am for that HAHAHA!** So, no, I take a dim view of these kind of things. ---

I guess this would be my cue to admit that in the “Where did you get your username?” threads, I’ve given several different explanations, none of which were true. Man, it feels good to finally get that out in the open. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by D\_Odds \* > **I wouldn’t quite call it giggles - I prefer to just let my b’day pass unnoticed - but I tell people my birthday is June 31st.** First off, repeatedly saying June 31st would have consistent, and second, would have been mildly witty for obvious reasons. Randomly picking _actual_ dates, and most likely snickering like some 5 year old who is getting one over on us, when you are the only one who cares or “gets” it, seems entirely different to me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by airdisc \* > \*\*Actually I’m pitting her because I think she overreacted. If she just said something like “airdisc, I know you posted your birthday in a bunch of different threads.” and left it at that, this thread wouldn’t be here. \*\* Actually it seems as though you overreacted and didn’t take the time to consider that some people don’t feel the way you do. So she didn’t respond the way you _thought_ she should. Whoopie doo, I suggest you **lighten** up a little bit. ---

Hey, folks, let’s give **airdisc** a break. Maybe he thinks _every_ day he gets pushed out of his momma’s birth-canal is his birthday. Besides, March 4th is international “Be nice to the mother-fucking moron” day. Yeah, I know we just celebrated it on February 17th. And January 6th. And December 25th… So what? ---

There was absolutely no sign of an apology in that thread. You only offered one in your OP here. And an apology accompanied by a pitting might strike some people as a little hollow. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by D\_Odds \* > \*\* I prefer to just let my b’day pass unnoticed \*\* that’s cool. I can understand how you feel about not wanting to celebrate. buuuuuuuut… if that is the case, then why the hell post in a _birthday_ thread? I mean, it could have been done well, your joke. It could have been done funny in a “laughing with you not at you” sort of way. You failed. The sentence? For the next 4 birthdays, you shall have icky birthday cake. Oh yeah, baby. I’m passing my Bundt-Rock-cake recipe to the birthday fairy. ---

I guess so. My take is that he is saying he doesn’t want anyone to take notice of his birthday and then he posts in a birthday thread. I am a bit slow, what can I say? ---
