Happy Birthday, Diogenes!

And never forget, **WALMART IS THE TALIBAN!!!**

I still use that catchphrase regularly, thanks to you . . .

Happy birthday to absolutely one of my favorite Dopers! Hmmm…If I could give you a present, I think it would be the unabridged Great Books of the Western World on CD.

I would expect you to add your own book, of course.

O Happy Day!

Also a day late… **cityboy** alerted me to this thread sometime in the wee hours. Thanks, dude! 🙂  
**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIOGENES THE CYNIC!!!**  
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!”  
Have a good one.
