Yup, I’m 53 today. Just thought I would share that with y’all in case someone wanted to , you know, wish me many happy returns or something?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
Happy birthday! (This reminds me, it’s the birthday of someone else I know – also 53!) May you have a wonderful day!
Many Happy Returns to you, my friend. May you have another healthy, happy 53 to go. 
Well, may as well use this one more time this year…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QUASIMODEM!!!
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!”
Here’s hoping you have a wonderful birthday and year filled with fun, adventure, your wants fulfilled, health, hapiness, etc. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts, and look forward to many more from you in the time to come!

Happy birthday, Quasimodem, many more of them, all that kinda stuff!
May this new year you’re embarking on bring you all that you would ever want, and much in the way of love and peace.
Happy birthday, fellow-new-year’s-eve baby – of course, since I turn 48 today, I’m the baby, I guess.
Alles gute zum Geburtstag, mein Freund!
53 years young, my man!
Love, GfH
Well, hell.
Happy birthday.
D’oh! I started another thread… didn’t see this one.
Happy Birthday either way!
Happy birthday, Quasimodem!
I had no idea you were older than I am!
And happy birthday, twickster!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Modem.
Thanks, y’all! Guess it’s not really “kosher” to have two birthday threads running at the same time, but I couldn’t leave my buddy Slainte’s hanging out there all by itself.
I won’t be celebrating till tomorrow, but if I may I would like to pretend that all 27 thousand plus of you are right here with me: my “family”, so to speak. We will toast the New Year together and send each other good wishes.
GfH, that was well-said!

Also a very happy birthday to twickster who , at 48 can be the baby if/she wishes!
Q
Ummm, I’m 48 today too! In the December Birthdays thread **twickster ** and I discovered we were born on the same day.
Happy Birthday to you as well, Baker! May you have many more and I guess you and twickster can be twin babies!

Happy, happy birthday, Quasi.
Happy Friggin’ Birthday to Quasi, Twikster and Baker! Sounds like a really bad law firm.
Happy birthday to any other dopers who have a birthday today.
And a Happy New Year to all!
Happy B-day, one and all!!
<tossing confetti with wild and reckless abandon>
Guess I need to treat Quasi with more deference and stuff, seein’s as he’s soooooo much older than I. OK, just 4 years, but still - Have a good one, old man!
If 14 LOTR threads all at one time are allowed, I don’t see why 2 Quasi birthday threads would be a problem
Happy birthday to Baker & twickster as well!
