I don’t know you that well, but I was reading the Doper Birthday thread, and saw that today was your birthday, and didn’t want it to go by without saying Happy Birthday!!!
Come to think of it, I don’t know you at all, but you seem like a great guy. You’re always nice, and post interesting things, I can always count on you knowing a lot about motorcycles and Mexican food.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 
I have actually met the famous Johnny L.A. and I can attest that he is indeed a great, nice and interesting guy.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Johnny!
Have yourself some Spudnuts and a Tito’s Taco on me!
Motorcycles and mexican food, huh? Yeah, don’t count on him for anything aviation related. 'Specially helicopters. 
Happy Birthday, Johnny!

Hi, there. 
[/Freddy ‘Boom Boom’ Washington]
How you doin’?
Doh! I just had a can of tuna and some Ritz crackers! What was I Thinking?
flyboy88: Now if only someone would get me a helicopter for my birthday, I’d be stytlin’! (Heck, I can buy the heli myself… I’d just need someone to handle the insurance! :eek: )
Thanks, everyone!
:: throws confetti into the air ::
happy birthday, Johnny!
And your error in lunch choices would have been a good opportunity to use :smack: ! Wahoo!
Johnny, I hope you have an awesome birthday! I don’t know you, and haven’t met you, but you do indeed seem like a nice person, and post about interesting things.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHNNY L.A.!!!
Now for the Chinese version…
“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!!!”
Here’s what I think it means: Congratulations to you on this very special day! Every year, we celebrate this day, and best of luck to you!
(man, I really ought to ask my friend for a more accurate translation…)

You’re absolutely right, scout122. I’ll use it in a minute…
Flamsterette_X: How are things in Richmond? I talked to my best fiend, who lives in Birch Bay, WA, and he said it was 80°F up that way!
And now…
I decided I wanted a birthday cake, so I went to the market for a cupcake. Wait a minute! It’s my birthday! I bought some yellow cake mix and some chocolate frosting. I also had to buy a dozen eggs. (I only needed one, since I still have two eggs left from the half-dozen I bought a couple of weeks ago.)
I got out the mixer my mom gave me a while back and used it for the first time to mix up the cake mix in a large pot. Now all I need to do is get out that rectangular glass baking dish and…
:smack:
I packed it away over a year ago for my long-anticipated but still unforeseeable move to WA!
:smack: :smack:
I have a frying pan that’s 9" in diameter, and it has straight sides. The box says I can make two 9" round cakes. That’ll work. I’ve put half of the batter into the pan, and it’s in the oven even as we speak. When it’s done I’ll rince it out and make the other half.
I wonder if I have any candles?
Jeez, sometimes I really feel like a :wally.
“rinse” :o
Congrats, big guy!
We’ll go out for a celebration ride some day. Oh yes we will!
Congrats. Now go out and have a good ride will ya?
Phase One is complete. The first layer has emerged from the frying-pan-cum-cake-pan. It stuck to the bottom a little, but I put the pieces in place and I can spackle it all together with frosting.
Edward The Head: Good idea. But I think I’ll wait 'til the morning and ride the Yamaha into work.
Um… Okay. This is how they’re supposed to look, right? 
Happy birthday, Johnny!
Your birthday drink’s on me-- what’ll it be? Another ouzo, perhaps?
I lit the candle.
I sung myself “Happy Birthday”.
I made a wish and blew out the candle.
I cut the cake.
So it didn’t look all that great. It tasted yummy.
Mmmm… Ouzo… I’ll have to take you up on that, AudreyK!
(Hey everybody! Look! A pretty girl wants to buy me a drink! )
Gens du pays, c’est a ton tour, de nous laisser, parlez, d’amour…
and so on and so forth. Happy B-day!
That cake looks great! I’m inspired. Who’d a thunk you’d be crazy enough to use a frying pan instead of asking a neighbour
Johnny, your friend was right, and the temperature’s supposed to get up even higher tomorrow! :eek: (to about 90°F or more, in fact) Now that is summer weather!

I have actually met the famous Johnny L.A. and I can attest little more than that.
Happy Birthday, Johnny!
Jim
Now that’s a yummy looking cake! Who needs, you know, cake when you have lots of chocolate frosting?
Happy birthday Johnny!
:splashes AudreyK with ouzo:
Oh, that’s not what you meant? :smack:
Beautiful cake!
I’ve met Johnny and can attest that he’s a swell guy with a wonderful smile. Here’s to many more!!!
