From this thread:
I didn’t know! So…
Happy Birthday, Francesca! 
You could also wish her a happy one in this other thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=163920. I mean, the more times we wish her happy birthday, the better, right?
Happy birthday Francesca!
Francesca is called “Puddin’”? That’s why I didn’t see b-day wishes for her when I scanned the thread titles for “Francesca”.
Happy Birthday, Fran!!
I’ll add it here too.
Thank you Johnny for starting this thread without realising about the other one. You’re lovely
Puddin’ is Francesca and Francesca is Puddin’, Johnny. At least to me.
It wasn’t until waaaaay after I started the first thread that I realized that not everyone who loves Fran would also know that I call her Puddin’. I’ve been doing it for a while now, but still, why would everyone be hip to my Rue-ination of her name?
And while I’m here,
Happy Birthday Puddin’!
-Rue. (and Alex is still a punk)
Sheesh…I could have SWORN I already did this…my mind must be going. Age, ya’ know? 'Cause I honestly thought I already said it TWICE…:eek:
Happy Birthday, MissFrannie dear…may you have a wonderful day, month, year…LIFE! 
My Love,
Cheri
