Happy Birthday! However, I believe that The Official Rules only state that I would have to be nice to you today if you had donated blood. So if I do in fact have any interaction with you, and if in said interaction I am nice, it is not because I HAVE to but because I WANT to. So there! ---

I was going to get you a birthday gift, but, you know that thing I got you for Christmas? That counts as your birthday gift too. ---

I just sent you an email. 'Cause I didn’t manage to mail cards to anybody this year 'cause school has rotted my brain. Mom sent me the Christmas pix and your goatee looks terrific! Well, I am prejudiced in favor of facial hair on men-types, as you know, but I wouldn’t kid ya. Have a wonderful day and make sure all them peoples out there treat you right. {{{{{{{ **DAVE** }}}}}}}} ---

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE!!!** 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 have a great birthday, especially because your birthday is also my friends’ (John and Sophia) wedding day. Got married this morning, and going out to the Chinese wedding banquet tonight… good food to be had there, let me tell you. (heck, by the time this evening is done, I’ll have been to that particular restaurant three times in a week… and I normally never go there) May health, happiness, and good adventures be yours. 🙂 I enjoy reading your posts, and hope that you take care of yourself.

I would like you to know, **DAVEYPOO71** , that I didn’t run naked through … ::checks MPSIMS, IMHO, pointless Pit threads and that _one_ GD thread:: any threads yesterday. None. I hope you can understand and appreciate the sacrifice I made for you yesterday;) And **Osip** , today in _your_ honor I won’t run through any naked.
