It’s **Rue DeDay’s** birthday! Hooray for our favourite uncle story teller, monday morning poster, and big bundle of loveliness we know as **Rue**. (In case you have somehow missed Rue’s stories, you can see a bunch of them at [Teemings Extra](http://www.teemings.com/extras)) I hope you have a fabulous day and get lots of presents and snogs. Here is a special birthday kiss for you: MWAH. ---

My friends, I’m touched. And in the good, emotional way, not like now I’ll have to go down to the police station and fill out a report. You love me! You really do! (Now I have to go blow my nose. I’m getting all misty.) Love you all back. -Rue. ---

Well, crap. Do you know what this means? It means I’m a complete jerk, that’s what it means. I’ve made a few snide comments to **Rue** about him being a “youngster,” and now it turns out that he’s about a month and a half older than I am. Crap. Yep, I’m a jerk. Happy Birthday, old-timer. ---

Whoo! Hooo!!! Happy Birthday, **RUE**!!! In your honor, I called in sick for work today, and spent the whole day in bed on top of a heating pad. (This really fits in well with my schedule, as I really screwed my back up on Saturday, and had been planning on spending the day in bed anyways… 😉 In fact, I’m going to call in sick again tomorrow, and maybe the next day in your honor as well! I’ll do it everyday until I can walk to the bathroom to pee instead of doing a sideways worm-dance on the floor, whimpering the entire distance, to pee down the drain when I get there because I can’t stand up. Happy birthday, **Rue**!) Oh! And Happy B’Day to **Vanilla** as well! [sup]I’m scrunching back to the bed now, dragging my heating pad between my toes… owie![/sup] ---

Happy Birthday **Rue**! If anybody wants to chip in I can run down to Servati’s this afternoon and get a cake or pie, then drive cross town and whack Rue in the face with it. It’s really not that far out of my way, particularly if I go into work. PS to **Exgineer** : I think that 25 thing was a joke (note the winky). My guess is that he’s 29 again. ---

**Shibb** , tempting as your offer is, I find myself a little short of cash. Could you just go by his house and dance on his front lawn so his dog goes crazy and barks like mad and drives **Rue** whacko?? No, forget I said that. I couldn’t wish that on my bestest friend in the whole SDMB. Tho it would be kinda funny… 😃 ---

Nah, **Shibb**. I know the old fart is 35 now, but I’m still a sprightly 34. I just seem like an obnoxious, smart-alecky kid. I’m going to have to work on inserting some crotchety-old-grump stuffiness into these things. BTW - for a truly spectacular pie-in-the face experience, I recommend banana creme. Send me the bill. ---

[Servatii](http://www.servatiipastryshop.com/tfdesserts.htm)’s isn’t really a banana creme kind of place, but I can probably find one at Krogers… or maybe a nice buttercream frosted cake right in the mug. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-rue-dedays-monday-birthday/138640.md?page=2)
