jeeprs creepers - don't even think of closing down the happy birthmonth yet! There are over two birth-month days yet to go! Over 58 birth-month hours!

Heck - we still got over 3500 birth-month minutes we can wish him!

Well, I got a birthday thread, and I admit that it is a very nice birthday thread - but did I get presents?
Hmmmm?

birthdays come but once a year.

Heh heh, reminds me of the old joke about Santa Claus, who only comes once a year, and when he does, it's down the chimney. Aren't you glad you're not Santa Claus :-)

YOU do not celebrate your birthday because you are getting older.
WE celebrate your birthday because we are glad you were BORN.

At least Joe's Happy Birthday threads are always different. He can't say that they are the same old, same old.   . . . unless being different becomes the same old, same old. Wait a minute, I forgot where this post was taking me. Shall I say Happy Birthday, Joe! and risk upsetting the man who would be signing our paychecks if we were getting one for all the wisdom we impart? Lest you think I somehow left Max out of that job through ignorance, you surely know that Max would have delegated that chore to Joe long ago.

So back to the frivolity of the occasion. Here's a gentle Happy Life's Special Second to the fellow who would have preferred a "birth minute" instead of a birth month. Interpret that as a birthday wish if you wish.

I think I'll quit before a moment of weakness causes me to say Happy Birthday, J . . .

Well if we're gonna have birthday songs, here's one.

BIRTHDAY DIRGE (to the tune of the Volga Boatmen)

Happy Birthday! (UNH!)
Happy Birthday! (UNH!)

Death and gloom and dark despair
People dying everywhere

Happy Birthday! (UNH!)
Happy Birthday! (UNH!)

Birthdays come, but once a year
Marking time, as Death draws near

May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake

May your deeds with sheep and yaks
Equal those with sword and axe

Burn the Castle and storm the keep
Kill the Women but SAVE THE SHEEP!

We brought linen, white as cloud
Now we'll sit and sew your shroud!

Long ago your hair turned grey
Now it's falling out, they say

This one lesson you must learn
FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn!

Now you are the age you are
Your demise cannot be far

Death will come before the dawn
Now's the time to party on!

Happy Birthday! (UNH!)
Happy Birthday! (UNH!)

People at church have taken to wishing me a happy birthday all month, too...

Of course, since the relapse, I have not been myself, (nor have I been MMario, nor the Shambles) and time is a bit distorted. I was under the impression that this was then, but, obviously, it must be now. Therefore it is with great pleasure, many unexplained tears, and forgotten regrets that I must wish my dear Mr. Offer (who is certainly NO IGMO!!) the following:

HAPPY

BIRTHMONTH,

JOE OFFER!!

However, were this day the

16th of August

(which I am being told that this day is the 8th of August...though, for the life of me I think it is not even August yet), I would wish him a happy

Birth DAY

.

Nevertheless, I say again:

HAPPY

BIRTHMONTH,

JOE OFFER!!
