In Geobabe’s birthday thread, Hamadryad said:
I had her birthday in my Secret Files[sup]TM[/sup] (hahaha), but I wasn’t going to post a thread for her till later. But upon seeing that, I thought now was as good a time as any. Besides, she’s online now (or at least, as I type this, she is), so why not?
Okay, enough preamble. (you’d think I’d know when to shut up, eh? :D) To that end, then:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAMADRYAD!!!
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!”
Hamadryad, I hope that you have an absolutely wonderful birthday, and that you get to celebrate it with family, friends, and assorted loved ones. It’s true that I haven’t always agreed with what you have to say in your posts, but I sincerely wish you the best day (and year) ever.
Remember to have fun, and take care of yourself! Hope you’re doing something special!
