That’s right… it’s the May birthdays, brought to you a couple hours early. Thought it would be appropriate to do it now, since my partner-in-crime has a birthday this month. Wouldn’t do for him to be wishing himself a happy birthday, now would it? 😃

Oh, and YES… we are indeed aware that some of the people on our lists may have departed this board due to other considerations and such. Still, I guess it wouldn’t hurt for now to have 'em on the list… hehehe. 😉

If your birthday isn’t listed here, please come by and add it to our list. The same goes for wishing these people a happy birthday… if you want to, go ahead and do it! 🆒

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!!!**

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!”  
I hope you all have a good birthday, and a great year to come! 🙂

By the way, **Snooooopy** : does [your warning against celebrating April birthdays](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4711935&postcount=17) still apply to this month, or not? 😉

I’d also like to add that my boyfriend’s birthday is on May 16… he won’t be online that day, but we’ll think of something. 😉

Happy birthday to all you May babies. Mine is on the 16th, just like **Flamsterette\_X’s** boyfriend. 🆒

May babies are great babies.

**CuriousCanuck** , “old” is a relative term. I’ll be … well … older than you.

But yes, grey is sexy/distinguished.
