Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: autolycus Date: 05 Aug 07 - 03:45 PM Wellmy h.b. thread was avery happy experience for me. Posters were pretty innovative even with the date. For some reason, people around here are individualistic. Anyway, this one has shown how appreciative people are, in itself a cause for celebration in a naughty world. next week's sermon will be on false teeth and the Jewish Problem. 'course if we all celebrated everyone every day, well, anyway,whatever. Ivor |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: gnu Date: 05 Aug 07 - 06:57 AM So, Joe, still pleading the fifth today? Happy Birthmonth... yeah, I'm giving up. Just lazy, I guess. It's no fun if I can't get a rise outta ya. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: DougR Date: 04 Aug 07 - 06:27 PM Joe: I got a headach trying to be innovative. I really don't care when your birthday is. I just hope you have a good one! DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 03 Aug 07 - 04:06 PM Joe- I hate birthday threads too; shall we start a thread about that? But as long as I'm belatedly here, Happy Birthday! And thanks for all your great help over the years....... Jean |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 07 - 03:16 PM I hope Joe is perceptive enough to appreciate the current of wry humor beneath my apparently rude remarks. In fact, I am highly confident he is sensitive and alert enough to do so. If I am wrong, and he isn't, then what I said stands. Simple. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Megan L Date: 03 Aug 07 - 02:34 PM Gnu are you saying Joe is thick ?:p |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: gnu Date: 03 Aug 07 - 02:32 PM Amos... are you tryin to get Joe to shut this thread down? After all, that could be considered a "persoanl attack" eh? If Joe wasn't so thick skinned and you weren't so personable, well, I dare say these posts would be cut of in a |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Aug 07 - 02:31 PM Well, I really do hate birthday threads, mostly because there is so much same-old same-old in them. How many truly innovative things can you say about birthdays? Now, since people don't know when my birthday is, it gives at least some variety to the mix. I believe there are only two Mudcatters who know when my actual birthday is, and both of them are quite discreet. I almost revealed my birthday one night after a number of beers in Yorkshire, but the beer helped because by that time, even I wasn't quite sure when my birthday was.... And if you want to know how old I am, wait a minute. I have to do the math. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 07 - 02:10 PM See, this is the problem with management. To supress birthday threads, he hides his birthday, so now they start thirty of them to celebrate his birth-month!! It's not so much the "law of unintended consequences" as the law of "too fockin' dumb to understand the consequences"...fortunately in this case, it doesn't hurt anyone except mebbe Joe's pride. But, see, Joe, the boys at the MOAB understand this phenopmenon real well. Ask BWL about the law of that which cannot be fucked with. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Janie Date: 02 Aug 07 - 12:52 AM Every year at just this time we get a chance to proffer a month of fun and silliness to our good bro', Joe Offer. Reveal the date, he will not do. I think he's superstitious. He hopes in hiding it will be to birthday threads pernicious. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Wolfgang Date: 01 Aug 07 - 05:56 PM As each year, I'll resist the temptation to post "happy birthday" on the exact day. What would be a perfect present? I could start a "We miss Shambles" thread? Or I could find a tune to lyrics yet without tune? Or... Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 07 - 01:50 PM Jeeze, Joe, aren't you gonna knock it off, this Birthday scam? Somehow these threads came together for me -- "Happy Birthday, Joe Offer!"..."Waste of good mahogany"..."Hot Australilan meat pie...". But I am sure it was all just a horrible coincidence. Kinda like your birthday. I am very glad you are riding the time-wave so gracefully and all that, joe, but this is a folk music site!! ;>) Congrats, pal. A |
