Due to the events of the last few days, I have not been able to post a birthday thread. (I know, I know: “But you posted some other ones, and replied to others!” Never mind that, all right? ;))
So this is a (belated) birthday thread for the following people:
Gr8Kat (whose birthday was actually the 13th)
Venoma (whose birthday was actually the 13th)
TN*hippie (whose birthday was actually the 13th)
Zaps_Rowsdower (whose birthday was actually yesterday, the 14th)
Geobabe (whose birthday is today, unless I misread Hamadryad’s post a couple weeks ago)
Without any further ado, then:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GR8KAT!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VENOMA!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TN*HIPPIE!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZAPS_ROWSDOWER!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEOBABE!!!
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!”
I wish you all a great birthday, a time to celebrate with family and friends, and lasting good memories. Have a great year, and may your dreams come true. Remember to have fun, and take care of yourselves!
TN*hippie, I read your thread about what happened on your birthday. That absolutely sucks, my friend. One of my friends had a similar experience a couple of years ago: his girlfriend called him up on his birthday (of all days) and told him that she didn’t want to go out with him anymore. Basically, the only difference was that my friend turned 17 on that day. Not a good thing to happen any time, but especially on your birthday.
Geobabe, I wish you only supreme happiness with UncleBill, and the best of luck with your move to Florida.
