**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IDLE THOUGHTS!!!**

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!”  
Told you that I wouldn’t forget. 😉 Getting to know you through your posts and such has been neat, and I hope you get the nice things you deserve today. Come on in and tell us what you did, after the fact. (or even prior to, it doens’t matter to me!)  
Hope you have a good day and a great year to come! 🙂  
We’ll overlook the fact that your birthday happens to fall on the anniversary of JFK’s assassination… we’re sure you’re a nice guy. 😉

And I’ve _just_ figured out why there seem to be some “JFK assassination” threads around here recently… :smack:
