. . . to ME! HAH!
Yup. Tomorrow is the 28th anniversary of where I sprang forth from Momma Trip’s loins, only to wreak havoc [sub]on a relatively small scale, but havoc nonetheless[/sub] on everything I see. I don’t know plans yet or whoever of my local gang of buds are in town, but I guarantee that I will be seeing double by the end of the night–and it’s not because I lost a contact lens. Tomorrow night is a huge poker tourney with the guys from work (12 of us), but tonight, I’m not sure what the plans are . . . not that we need “plans” per se.
So if yer going out tonight, raise a beer. Hell, when I meet you down the road, I’ll buy one back for you. 🙂
And a mighty-fine Happy Birthday to everyone else born on Jan 22nd!
Tripler
I’ve already had a helluva start to '05, so I think I’m going to party like a rock star tonight.

Happy B-day - too bad you were born a day too early. All the quality folk claim Jan 23!! 😃

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRIPLER!!!**
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 have a good birthday, and a great year to come! 🙂
Your fellow Jan. 22 Doper babies: **SpazCat, Stccrd, Fugazi, KellyM**

I do. I’ve had it framed and it’s on my “I Love Me” wall 🙂
Well shoot. Thanks guys for the good wishes, and Happy Birthday to \*\* KellyM, Stccrd, Fug, **and** Spaz\*\*.
Hopefully any good fortune I have kicks in tonight. Last night, I lost $30 at Texas Hold 'em. (I know, I’m one of those ‘low stakes’ players) 😉

Gots me a program that does that, so no it wasn’t that big a task. You’re very welcome though! 🙂

Happy birthday, man. I’m still waiting to have my celebration - it’ll be two weeks belated if we don’t get another weekend snowstorm. 🙂

Ow, my head hurts. . .
. . . was I supposed to do those Wild Turkey shots back to back like that?
Where’d all the strippers go? And why is there a goat in my apartment? :eek:
Tripler
Screw this, I’m going back to bed.
