...and a banal chorus of 67 virgin and yet obese eunuchs sang:



"Why was he born so beautiful,
why was he born at all?
He's no bloody use to anyone,
he's no bloody use at all.
'SPAW! 'SPAW! !@#$ 'SPAW!"



Otherwise stated: Happy Birthday, my boy.

I know I promised earlier that I was going to post something disparaging, perhaps crass, even disgusting, when I got the chance... you know, befitting your earned, learned lofty status amongst the 'Cats. Alas, after five hours of crawling through crawl spaces and attics with a bad back, getting a good buzz off a distribution panel (my absolute favourite part of my job), meeting the building owner's dog in a rather surprising manner, getting about fifty mosquito bites, etcetera, etc, I'm just too damn tired and sore. And I'm only 44 years old. It's not that I don't want to. Honest, I think so highly of you that I would like to crap on you in the style and calibre you deserve, but, brain dead as I am at the moment, I guess I'll just have to leave it at...

BON FETE PATTEDECHAT49 or '52 or whatever !!! Drink lots of cold water and walk slow.

PS Didn't know about the mouth thing. Does this mean that you're on liquids ? I think there's some Turkey Turd Beer in the basement of the Tavern. Some fool ordered two tankers !

*grins* All right, 'spaw, here's a birthday song for you, by a group of Rick's countrymen called The Arrogant Worms. I figure you have the sort of sense of humor which will appreciate it.

Once a year we celebrate
with stupid hats and plastic plates
the fact that you've been able to make
another trip around the sun
So the whole clan gathers 'round
and gifts and laughter do abound
and so we make a joyful sound
and sing this stupid song

Happy birthday
what have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You're starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It's downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
your best years are all gone.

What a birthday thread though!!! Thanks for all the songs and thoughts......Hey!!! I finally got a hug from "down under"...and it's about damn time too!!!

We pretty much had our celebration when the Boys from Yorkshire were here and although I feel pretty good, tonigt's birthday dinner will be mashed spuds......and maybe a few beans, just for effect!

Thank you all.

Spaw

It's Nancy Sinatra's birthday too ~

These farts were made for lighting,
And that's just what he'll do,
One of these days those farts
are gonna explode in the loo.....

Have fun.... what's left of it. Of course, if you aren't feeling up to it, you could always have an offical birthday when you are, like the Queen. She has two because the weather isn't nice in April for inspecting the guards, and besides, us Civil (!) Servants get an extra day off!!

Happy (Day after) Birthday
I've been looking for a suitable present
I noticed in another thread that you collect assholes (gnats?)
In my shed are some old museum exhibits, mainly wasps and bees, I am guessing they have assholes too
They are in a nice presentation box and everything!
So I am sending them with best wishes (you will have to remove the assholes yourself)


do you have a huge hangover this morning?, If anything else is huge keep it to yourself
