Well, it’s that time again… a new month means new monthly birthdays to celebrate! I hope all the August babies have a great birthday and year, and that you have health / happiness blessings / peace this year. 🙂 **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!” The magic list of Straight Dope August birthdays: **auRa wyldelf VenusProbe Toaster52 BraheSilver JellyfishRhythm Mr. Blue Sky Kiffa Winnowill SpoilerVirgin interface2x lolagranola Big Kahuna Burger islandgirl MrO Ice Wolf Highlander beerchick leechbabe Arnold Winkelreid LurkMeister Dick Macy techchick68 El Gui Chief Scott angelabaca LilyoftheValley Monstre RealityChuck dpr Nymysys kambuckta imthjckaz Jane D’oh!

Thanks. I’m getting old. I have 7 grey hairs now. I think this year for my birthday I’ll just pretend I’m still 23. . . ---

Aaron (aka **Bomb Bay Doors** ) turns one today! We’re having breakfast at IHOP, running a few errands, and then we’re having lunch with Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger birthday cake with fifteen or so of our closest relatives and friends. Happy birthday to the other August people! Robin ---

August 28 for me. Born in '69, but late enough to have missed out on all the fuss. ---

Thanks, **Flami**. 🙂 Mine’s August 10, when I’ll turn 40. Doesn’t seem entirely real that I’m that old, but … hey, can’t argue with th’ birth certificate! Happy Birthday to my fellow August Dopers! 🙂 ---

Don’t forget me! I’ll be 29 on the 28th. One more year of numerically-excuseable fun before I have to settle into the life of a 30-year-old. I’m celebrating with Springsteen at the Stadium on the big day, some 8-ball and beers on Friday, and then maybe Sea Girt for the remainder of the weekend. Happy birthday to all you other Dopers this month! ---

Mine’s the 22nd. No real plans – maybe we’ll meet with my parents – but my wife will still be recovering from the fact that our daughter is going off to college, so I expect it to be subdued. ---

Oops, I just realized that I did forget little Aaron! No slight intended, **MsRobyn** … I just saw the thread you had up for him, and that reminded me. I definitely will have him on the list for next year. 😉 Anyone else out there? There must be SOME more… F\_X ---
