Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Aug 02 - 10:09 AM Well Joe.......Here it is. Someone has started a birthday thread for you and you hate them. What is there left to say? I know all the messages always say the same thing and you hate that but if I say something different to appease you as I do on most BD threads, then in essence I'm saying the same thing as I always do, so what's the point....which is your point.....which matches the point on your head......the one where hair no longer grows. I see in another thread that Kendall is actually removing his ass in public so maybe that would be a special birthday treat you'd consider for yourself. I dunno' what the point of debutting yourself is, but if it works for Kendall maybe you should give it a try. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Rick Fielding Date: 17 Aug 02 - 10:14 AM Oh what to do, what to do! Not only does Joe hate Birthday threads, but at least once a year he publicly (well on Mudcat, anyway) chastises us for participating in them. Oh, the pressure to conform to his wishes! I really DO try, ya know Joe...I NEVER feed Trolls, I never contribute to Little Hawk's Shatner drivel even though we're practically neighbours.....I never get involved in "Mudcat censored me", or "Max has some s'plainin to do" threads.......I've never even had an argument with McGrath of Harlow (although everyone tells me it's a wonderful experience) and frankly my biggest beef with the Pope is why he doesn't retire and let YOU do all that running around. Hell, you use a microphone much better than him anyway. So.....no birthday greetings from me. Sorry. Cheers Rick (and heather, who also doesn't wish you happy birthday) |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: The Pooka Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:29 AM Tardy best wishes, Mr. Offer sir. Hey, birthdays can be an embarrassing pain in the arse but having them is better than the alternative, right? Steve Latimer above said "can't imagine the Mudcat without" you; sez I, I think there'd BE no Mudcat without you. (But wot's this catspaw jaw about a point on yer head? Balderdash. :) Thank you for all your help, to me & to us all. Hope your Euro Tour is going wonderfully. Happy however-reluctant Birthday. |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Ferrara Date: 18 Aug 02 - 01:44 AM Oh my goodness, Joe, you mean you're finally turning 39? I'm a wee bit late but Happy Birthday m'dear! Rita And, Winters Wages, congratulations, and hang in there. The first year or so after a transplant is often what you might call "interesting times" but for most people, it gets much easier after that. Good luck with it all! ... from Ferrara (who got a heart transplant in October '95 and by now considers herself an expert on interesting times). |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Peter Kasin Date: 18 Aug 02 - 03:08 PM Dear Joe - To the man who hates birthday threads. I'll couch this message in a lyric request. Say, Joe, do you know the words to that song that goes "Da-d-dee-daah, doop-doop-da-doooo...." I believe it was sung by the Kentucky Klezmer Ramblers.oh, by the way, happy birthday. Yeah, it was sung in the 1960's, but might date back to 1940..... Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: SharonA Date: 19 Aug 02 - 12:20 PM I figure that if Joe really wanted to avoid joining the ranks of the birthday-threaded, he wouldn't have said anything to the Ducks (Geoff and the Missus) about the significance of the date! So, happy belated birthday, Joe, and thanks a million for all you do for us at Mudcat. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to... (At least being birthday-threaded isn't as much of a public embarrassment as having that repetitive song sung to you, or being made to blow out candles – not that I don't enjoy that stuff, but not everybody appreciates it!) Many happy returns of the day! Sharon |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Fortunato Date: 19 Aug 02 - 02:31 PM Hope you had a fine birthday, Joe. Sounds like a great one; I wouldn't mind a pint at the Green Dragon myself. |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Bill D Date: 20 Aug 02 - 01:13 PM well, I know Joe hates the waste of space for trivial things...so I wont post here.... |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: alanww Date: 21 Aug 02 - 01:49 PM As I've already sung "Happy Birthday to You" in person, I won't post here and waste space. Why was he born so beautiful ... PS Should we own up and pay the royalties for singing it? |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Lorraine Date: 21 Aug 02 - 07:14 PM Oh shucks you deserve many more h-d-day greetings. See you next getaway but Thinking warm thoughts of you on this your unbirthday. Smile-Lorraine |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Aug 02 - 02:01 PM Harumpf! There were a number of British Mudcatters who were pretty darn proud of their sneaking in a Joe Offer birthday thread. Well, I gotta say, I enjoyed the good wishes, in spite of my opposition to the repetitiveness of birthday threads. Thanks, everybody. Lloyd, it's good to hear you're making progress. -Joe Offer, at the home of Bill & Lorna Sables- |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: GUEST,Wolfgang Date: 01 Aug 03 - 03:45 PM Refresh as a service for all those in the other thread who make guesses about the day. Wolfgang (who'd prefer one single generic birthday thread per year: Happy birthday to all those who get one year older in 2003) |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: GUEST Date: 01 Aug 03 - 04:02 PM Are you a complete idiot, Wolfgang? In the 'other' thread, Joe said that he'd prefer to keep it quiet. You decide that the whole world must know. You are an utter fool. Read and think a bit before your next post please.

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: bbc Date: 01 Aug 03 - 04:12 PM No, Wolfgang is *not* an idiot. He's a lovely man who's made great contributions to this forum for years. Who are you, GUEST? bbc |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Rapparee Date: 01 Aug 03 - 06:08 PM Well, if everyone is going to wish Joe a Happy Birthday, I suppose that I'll just have to come right out and say it out loud and all: Joe, I hope that you find the day to be...well...pleasant, anyway. |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: John MacKenzie Date: 03 Aug 03 - 04:01 AM I think we're going to have to start a new birthday thread every day for Joe, that way we'll be spot on once anyway. Not only that, but I know how much pleasure it will give him to see the threads pop up daily. Giok..... HBJC |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Mrs.Duck Date: 08 Aug 03 - 01:26 PM Some folk not paying attention here! We have already established which day is Joe's birthday and that he spent it last year with me in a pub! On the appointed day I shall wish him happy anniversary of our meeting! |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Aug 03 - 02:20 PM Ah, but Mrs. Duck, it appears you may be mistaken as to the date.... When I spoke of my birthday in the pub, I spoke the truth, but in a way that was misleading. Yes, I was born in August, in the period attributed to those who are called "Leos." But I was born in a leap year, and in a time zone different from BST. -He of the Hidden Birthday- |
Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: GUEST Date: 10 Aug 03 - 02:32 AM For copyright reasons the "Happy Birthday Song" is not sung in commercial USA settings. So many have adopted a "fast-chant" in restaurants
Happy Birthday - Happy, Happy, Birthday
Not to mention - it gets the bus-boys back to work sooner. |

Subject: RE: Joe Offer HAPPY BIRTHDAY From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Aug 03 - 04:56 PM And yes, Offer is a surname - and a darn good one at that. I think it's German-Jewish in origin. A real estate lady once proposed marriage to me. She said she could make a lot of money with a name like that. -Joe Offer- |
