Sorry this is late… been on a crazy Chinese bus tour, and a draining family vacation! **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. MATRIX!!!** **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISSTEE!!!** **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EXCALIBRE!!!** **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIKKI!!!** 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!” Hope you all had a good birthday, and will have a great year to come! 🙂 ---

Hussah! I’m not going to spoil it by singing some cheesy song. I will just congratulate you on your special days, and wish you all the best for this next year of your life. . . . …and you smell like one too! . I’m sorry I couldn’t resist. Happy Birthday! 😃 ---

> [@Flamsterette\_X](#): > > The Chinese Happy Birthday song isn’t cheesy… it’s the coolest thing ever! Oops, wouldn’t make much of a diplomat, would I? To make things clear: **Flamsterette\_X** ’s chinese birthday song = Uber 🆒 **nocturnal\_tick** ’s crappy “10 year old’s” birthday song = Lame ass-cheese 😃 ---

You guys do realize this thread is over a week old, don’t you? You could be singing happy birthday songs to people whose birthdays are more current. 😃 Thanks for the birthday wishes and songs, though ---
