Yep, today our own swampbear is entering the last of his 40s. And having met him, may I say that he looks every minute of it! 
I may be older, but he can’t carry the years as well.
OK, no more cheap shots. Happy B-day, swampy! May you live to be as old as you look!
OK, maybe one more cheap shot then
Hope you have a great day floating in your pool with a refreshing beverage of choice and a band of cabana boys to tend to your every wish! 
[geezer]Dagnabbit! You youngun’s git off’n muh property! All exceptin’ them two big burly sweaty ones! [/geezer]
AWWWWWWWW… <blush> thanks FairyChatMom, AKA, The World’s Cheapest Date. [sup]TM[/sup]
Heck yeah! I’m 49 and feel…err… am proud of every year of it. Most folks who know me figured somebody woulda shot me by now.
Sigh… I wish I were floating round the pool, beverage and cabana boy in hand, but alas, here I am at work. Oh, well, at least I do get treated to dinner tonight. I’m going for pizza! I know, I know, pizza, how boring, but I haven’t had any pizza in forever, so I want greasy, gooey, cheesy pizza! And a pitcher of beer [sub]or two[/sub].
[sub]I am impressed somebody as oooooolllllld as FCM remembered it’s my b’day. Dang, that Geritol must really work![/sub]
You’re treading a fine line here, swampgeezer! Don’t make me come up there and fill your pool with Jell-O[sup]TM[/sup]!
49? Man you’re OLD.
I mean, uh.
49 years young! Way to go you old goat! Happy Birthday and what-not.
Oh please! everybody knows you only fill hot tubs with Jell-O. [sup]TM[/sup] It’s whip cream you use in pools! Honestly! Some people! :rolleyes:
welby, I am like a fine wine. I get better with age and can still get ya stinkin’ ass drunk!
I thought that as wine aged, it turned to vinegar.
Not the fine screw cap kind of wine like me.
Would that be screw cap wine in a brown paper bag??
Eh? Time for another ring around the ol’ beer gut? Well then, might I be among the first to wish you “Bottoms Up”!
HB good buddy.
At last, the old broad is showing some semblance of class!
Thanks lieu. I always thought that “ring” was there cause my shorts were to tight. :eek:
Ok, all together now:
ana ONE ana TWO…
:sings:
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Swampbear!
Happy Birthday toooo yoooouuuu!
Is FairyChatMom making some of her famous cake for you?
Ok, I gotta say it. 49? Damn, you old!
Happy Birthday, ya’ wet grizzly!
Wishing you a good day and many more to come.
Happy Birthday! dear Swampy!
Too bad it’s not a picture of Homebrew in hand.
Wouldn’t mind wrapping my lips around some Homebrew myself. 
Merry Natality Swampy.
And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!
Happy, happy birthday ya swampy guy, ya!! Looks like you’re exiting your 40s just as I am entering mine. (Mark your calendars now! Ellen Gets Real Old in just a little more than two months! Arg!)
Hugs and kisses,
Ellen
Happy Happy Happy Happy Birthday Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!!!
(We sing the bear in the big blue house song to the swampbear today) -well an abbreviated version anyway!
May you get pizza, beer, cake and hunky cabana boys and whatever else your heart desires. (Oh and the cabana boys should be muscled and tanned and scantily clad and when can I get a plane to GA!)
Happy Happy B-day swampy!
Happy birthday!!
And for whatever it’s worth, 49 isn’t old at all.
If you’re a tortoise.
No, just kidding.
Hope you have a great day and a great life!!
