Happy Birthday! you know, birthdays remind me of cake, and presents, and inviting all your friends out of your class to your birthday party, including the one guy you dont really like but dont want him left out of the fun. Years later he may grow up to be a social recluse, but what the hell, its not your fault. Something else that isnt your fault is traffic. and rain. Well, there was that one time that you did a rain dance around your back garden, with a tennis racket and a pair of trousers on your head. someone got a picture of it, but it ended up in a drawer somewhere. Right beside the collection of Sporks. well, its only one spork, but the person never found any other sporks, and forgot about them. Anyway, your birthday. Ever wonder why we celebrate birthdays? well, aside from the fact its the aniversary of your entry into this world, and a day for your loved ones to have a big party for you… My God, my brain hurts. How do you manage to write like this regularly?? 😉 Happy birthday. ---

This is why I love you guys. The outpouring of love for little ol’ me. I’m touched. Really, **dlgirl** , when you give a wedgie you reach in from the back. Not that I’m complaining. Your way is much better. **Twisty** , the secret of writing regularly is plenty of fiber. Or fibre if your live across the pond. Or just want to sound all sophisticated. Although you’d sound the same, since it’s all in the spelling. Although you could say “fib-ree”. Then you’d sound like a dork, so don’t. (Thanks for the thought.) **Gartog** , “Honesy” right back at ya! (It’ll be our little code. Sure, why not?) **celestina** and **Lindy** , don’t sweat being late. I just noticed this myself. Of course I haven’t been around in the last few days. That’s my excuse anyway. Boojie, boojie, boojie to **Sigge** with many ear scritchies. Boojie, boojie to **Soda** too. We’ll see what gets scritched after you brush your teeth. A monkey, a monkey! I get a monkey from **Wicked** Rose **Blue**! Woo hoo! (Getting a monkey isn’t some new slang I don’t know about, right? It’s just getting a monkey. Right? Either way I’m very excited.) [dusting off my Spanish]Taco burrito, por favor **Babs**. I mean that from the bottom of my el hearto. (And you thought I could only mangle French. Bwa ha-ha!) No party here, **zoo-y** (or **zooey** , just not Zöe, 'cause that has the wrong “o” in it.) There was cake though. Mmmm… cake. And who you callin’ “silly” **Sophie**? Huh? Why I oughtta… and if you were coming to MobileDope I just mightta too. _sniff_ I guess I’ll just have to wait til next time. _sniff_ And singing from **Jester** (How’d your show go, by the way? Do some good sheriffin’?) and **P.W. Doodle** and **Corrvin** (Don’t sweat it Corr, it’s the thought that counts, and if anyone lobs veggies your way will _face my wrath_. Yeah, that’ll keep you safe.) With dancin’ from **think**! Dude! No twirls in your Utilikilt, thanks all the same. (But maybe you can have a twirling section off in the corner for the ladies.) And licks and hugs and squeezes and smooches and gropes from **swampbear** and **babekitten** and **Puddin’** and a cake from **MsRobyn**. It makes it worth getting older. (Not that I make that old person noise when I get up from my comfy chair. No way.) **Zenster** the sentiment is very much appreciated, and **Shibb** , the gift, you shouldn’t have. Really. You shouldn’t have. For my first and best Special Friend (except all my other Special Friends, I’m just saying this 'cause it’s her thread) **Snickers** (no, it’s all just for you), that one thing I said that one time about that one thing. I meant it. And I’d do it again. Even without the parrot and the eye patch. Just for you. All my love to all you lovely Dopers. -Rue. ---

M’kay, so I’m a day late and a dollar short. (oops, just spilled the beans on how much I spent on your gift!) I blame the internet. I don’t have a connection at home, so I had to wait until I got to work this morning. But really, I truly did know your bday was coming up. I specifically started my tour of the SDMB this morning in MPSIMS to find this thread. I knew someone like **FCM** or **Shibb** would have already started one. So happy birthday! Hope it was a good one. Oh, and about the $1. It was a candy bar. And I got hungry. So I ate it. Maybe next year… ---

Greetings and felicitations, Mr. **DeDay**. It’s the story of my life. . .I find out about this stuff two days after it happens. Ah well, happy belated birthday anyway. Here’s your present. Hope you like it. No, it’s not an empty go-cup from Stuckey’s. It’s a. . .um. . .ahhh. . . oh, all right! It’s an empty go-cup from Stuckey’s. What do you expect when people don’t tell me things like this with enough time to prepare? Anyway, many happy returns. Zap!
