OMG - you guys are the best!!

DRY, that post was hilarious - I love it! Thank you so much.

You must be one heck of a lurker to have read enough topics to know when my birthday is. I don’t know if I should be flattered or frightened - LOL! Thank you, again.

Oh, and about that Jewish thing… I’ll take converts. 😉

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to wish me a happy birthday today; smug, Osip, Grace, Pink Slinky, MoosieGirl, mega the roo, GolfWidow, SingleDad, GreenEyes, Amazingrace…

evilbeth, I’d like to be able to say it feels great to celebrate smoke-free - but it doesn’t. LOL I want a tequila shot and a smoke so bad!!! 😃 But I won’t, so don’t worry!

ChiefScott, for your awesome ability at guessing ages, you’ve not only got a corner piece of cake, but one with a rose, too! In fact, make that 2 roses!!

zyada, who said you could flirt in my birthday thread, huh? Don’t you know there’s already a thread for just that purpose? I’m trying to do a conversion here, so **back off!** Hehehe - just kidding. {{hugs}}

beatle, wow, I’ve never quite heard those particular notes in the birthday song before. Very impressive! Thanks!

Mr. Cynical, if you get started now, you could be here in time for the stripper. We’ll make sure to wait, just for you! I’ll be partying aaaaaaall night long, so you won’t miss a thing. Come on down!

beefymeg, I will do my best not to let anyone pass gas at my party, thanks!

Oncle Bière, with a birthday wish like that, of course you may be my friend. Just don’t piss off UncleBeer too much, or I might have to rescind that. 😉

UncleBeer, I didn’t think your post was ruined. I got a birthday wish _and_ a smilie. Perfect!

handy, who do I look like, Portia DeRossi? Put that brush away before I have to come up there and hurt you. Ok, ok, I’ll let you spank me once. Just don’t say I never did anything for you! 😉

Michi, for you, a DOUBLE scoop! What kind would you like? You want nuts with that? Oh wait, you’re at Straight Dope - nuts abound!

ruadh, girlfriend, I am honored to have that distinction in your life. Have a brewsky for me tonight - just don’t smoke!

Talkinsquirrel, I thought _you_ were gonna strip for me, honey! Take it off, take it off, take it aaaaall off!

purplebear, you ROCK too! And because you’re so awesome, I’m gonna let you have the BIGGEST slice of my cyber cake. The best part about it is it’s calorie _and_ fat free! Woo Hoo!

Arnold, I did not take the day off, but I did take yesterday off. I’d love to pamper myself, but I have too much partying to do. Talkinsquirrel’s gonna strip, beatle’s dancing on the tables and I have to make sure he doesn’t fall off so I have to get up there and hold onto him, handy’s gonna spank me, even Mr. Cynical’s driving down for the occasion. Grab Elizabeth and come on over!

Jeannie, I will definitely _not_ have a drink _for_ you. I expect you to be front and center at my party as the secondary guest of honor. Now shake your bootie and get on over here, girlfriend!

So who’s got first dibs on the karaoke? We need to get this party rockin’!!

Me first! Me first! Okay, what does the karaoke machine have for me to sing?

Okay Shayna, here I go. ::clears throat::

Hey Jill, happy birthday babe! At the next LA shindig, I’m getting you a drink. One with bright colors and a little umbrella, of course!

I hope you had a just plain wonderful day. 🙂

Happy almost belated birthday. (I figure with the time zone difference, I’ll just sneak in under the wire.)

As to whether I’m one heck of a lurker, I’ll take the fifth. I’ve been reading threads for about a month or so.

As to whether you should be flattered or frightened of me, well, I’ll let you decide that if we ever meet in person. If we never do, I guess you’ll have to discern that based on my posts. (God knows what you think so far…) For what it’s worth, I’m, ahem, really physically imposing–I tip the scales at right around _130_ strapping pounds (above or below depending on how recently I’ve eaten).

If you’re curious, I found your birthday through the “Greetings to Jezebel, on her birthday” thread:

> [@](#):
>

> My birthday’s May 25th, if it matters to you at all. ::wink wink::
> 
> \*\*

(I’d provide a link, but I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.)

This thread was only featured in Threadspotting, started by Cecil, and given loads of publicity on the main webpage. I’m sure I’m not the only person who remembered your birthday, just the first person to start a thread about it!

(Your birthday is ALSO mentioned on your sister’s webpage, which is accessable through your webpage, which is accessable via your picture, which is accessable through the link you put up on the “Busty Redheads” thread. I may not be a raging sack of hormones, but as a red blooded, heterosexual guy, but if you think I’m not going to visit a thread entitled “Busty Redheads” (visit it? I BOOKMARKED it!) and scrutinize each and every picture link, you must be crazy!!)

Oncle Biere: My initials are, indeed, “DRY”. It’s true I really don’t drink much. I don’t like root beer.

zyada and all other older women out there, I Love them:

Her infinite variety: other women cloy  
The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry  
Where most she satisfies” \*\*

\*\* “Time still as he flies,  
adds increase to her truth,  
And gives to her mind,  
what he steals from her youth” \*\*  
–Edward Moore

Flirt on, zyada!

Thank you to everyone for helping me wish Shayna a happy birthday!  
Shayna, I’m sure everyone wants to hear how you spent your birthday–how about letting us in? I hope you went out and had the good time I know you deserve!
