25th here. This year, I will know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I will be 29 on Nov. 23rd. (My mom went into labor during Thanksgiving dinner, but I was born in the wee hours of the following morning).
To celebrate, as I do every year, I will be hosting a party/game for all my friends entitled “Win {maxthevool}'s Money”, in which competitors compete in a variety of intellectual, dextrous, and physical challenges. The winners receive actual cash, plus the whole thing raises money for charity. It’s great fun, and (if I may say so) the highlight of the yearly social calendar for my group of friends.
Last year it featured trivia, balderdash, Dance Dance Revolution, and a junkyard-wars-style competition to build a Jar-Jar launcher.
This year will be the best ever, I hope
Well, today was my birthday. And since I know all of you are just waiting to hear what I did, I’ll oblige. Hubby, Emmy and I went Chrsitmas shopping and then went to dinner. I got a birthday wake up phone call from Weirddave, too. I got all my presents from hubby last week (fondue set, DVDs and CDs) so I could use them during my Halloween/birthday vacation week I take every year.
Wow.
I will be working on mine sadly.
I don’t know what Ed Asner and Petula Clark will be doing.
Mine’s the 13th.
Well, heck, evilbeth, you and me both. I went out to lunch at one of our two sushi places with a friend, then walked my dog down to the dog park (whereupon he played with numerous other dogs) and back, and then I had a salsa rueda class. Since then, I’ve been drinking beer, petting my dog, watching the Food Network, and surfing the SDMB.
Not bad. Got over $400 in birthday money from relatives, too, which definitely does not suck.
As for celebrities who share my birthday, give your best wishes to:
Will Rogers (dead, of course)
Walter Cronkite
Art Carney
Loretta Swit (aka Margaret Houlihan on the TV version of MAS*H).
Robert Mapplethorpe
Markie Post (Christine on “Night Court”)
Ralph Macchio
Matthew McConaughey (can’t believe he’s a year younger than me)
P. Diddy (aka Puff Daddy, aka Sean “Puffy” Combs)
evilbeth: So, how’s Emmy doing, by the way?
I’ll be 24.
I imagine my birthday plans will involve my buddies, tequila, and a stripper named Tawny.
At least that’s what I imagine…
This morning I was reading old threads and I ran across someone mentioning their birthday. I looked at the date and oddly enough, it was exactly a year ago today. So without further ado, Happy 42nd Birthday, Dinsdale! In addition, happy birthday Monty and every other doper birthday this month!
I was wondering why the bump. Thanks, lel.

Well, let me do a little juggleing her to put lel right at the tip top of my SD Sweethearts list. Thank you so much for remembering. Uh, I suppose you had to have the present shipped, as it was too large to carry with you?
(If you do a little searching, you MIGHT find a thread in which I actually contributed something meaningful to the discussion. Or perhaps not!)
But alas, today I turn 42, and I have a cold, which makes me feel old. At least I have an excuse for napping at my desk!
Glad to hear I share a natal day with the illustrious Monty. Certainly better company than Richard Dawson and Bo Derek.
(You know you are getting to be a boring old fart when you ask for pajamas and dress socks for your birthday!)
Dinsdale, if it makes you feel any better: you also get to share this natal day with Joe Walsh, UB40’s James Brown, and a bunch of other people.

Happy Birthday Dinsdale,
You also share it with me!!
And in terms of usual Birthday game plans I find that Murphy’s Law generally pulls double-duty on my Birthday, so when we fail to engage in nuclear conflicts I’m always pleased- Having a cold still blows though…

Let’s see. 11-9=2. Hmm
It seems lots of people are trying to stay warm in February, eh?
