Happy birthday to yet another of my favourite Mudcat men.

I hope your day goes well and you get the correct birthday treatment from family and friends.

You're rapidly carving out a name for yourself mate.

Many happy returns of the day.

Well done, well done, you old, old man
Well done on your survival!
Will this be the year your guard lets down,
For a spiritual revival!?

Now old Bill D is a fine fine man,
Has a sharp taste, quite eclectic,
And he's keen on reason sharp and fine,
From which he has grown   skeptic.

But to make life richer in its joys
And to keep it from growing shoddy
We look for the day when BIll will have
A wandering out-of-body!

Happy Birthday, me aul' sparring partner!

You must be about as old as dirt by now!

I thoroughly enjoy your posts and always go to see what you've been thinking when I visit any new thread you've responded to. And other than cheating on the spatula stuff a while back (with the cat box scraper, of all things!) you're an honorable philosopher and it has been a pleasure to converse here at the 'Cat and an equal pleasure to wish you a happy belated birthday!

well!!!..What a nice surprise! I have been out "in the woods" all weekend, with glorious Spring weather, singing & cavorting with folkies (food catered by Debbie McClatchy!)...I had various B-Day songs sung at me all day yesterday.

As I told everyone, it was a perfect day tpo turn 39, among a bunch of friends!

So..thank all the rest of my friends very much for this semi-silly, but very pleasant batch of greetings!

Onward!

awferchrissakes............This is pathetic...........Bill old friend (emphasis on the old) I wasn't going to post here and respect your wishes as I recall you said you are now only celebrating the decades. But then some ornery person up in Maine started this thread and even though there are a few cutesy posts, it will no doubt inflame Joe since it has too many folks saying just a pleasant HBD. Joe hates that although I don't know why. So once again I must step in and save the thread...........

UP YOUR FREAKIN' PIFFLE!!!

I'll bet no one else thought to post that!

I know I have no idea what piffle is but I do know I don't want to know, ya know? (Bill,I'd like to dedicate that sentence to Shambles in your honor)

And tell Rita she has my sympathy.......just, like, in general.....

Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Bill D
From: Bill D

(she appreciates the sympathy no doubt, but our 25th wedding anniversery was 5 days ago, and wejust renewed our options for another 25, so she is stuck!)

and, hmmmmm...I don't believe I have ever heard piffle used as a noun before. It is traditionally only an exclamatory...but trust an Amish mustache connoisseur from Ohio to alter the very structure of grammar! Even Shambles got the deeper import of the concept...and immediately adapted it and doubled it! (Them Reg boys been explaining stuff to you again?)

Well now. You've up and done it this time, Mr. Bill. Gone and cotched another year, have you now? Don't think you can fool us. We counted each of those candles you flushed and we know EXACTLY how many there were. Smart to flush them, though, before they set the neighborhood on fire. Good thing you didn't try to flush the wrapping paper on all those presents or we'd have come after you for sure and for certain!

You just keep on living your life, and saying sensible things, and behaving in thoughtful ways, and hanging out with all those folkie types and living with that subversive female....that's right...you just keep it up...year, after year, after year.

We will be watching!

Happy Birthday Bill. I'm sorry that I did not know it was your birthday or I would have wished you a happy birthday this past weekend. Also, congratulations to you and Rita on 25 years. Pete and I celebrated 30 years on May 16th. Not bad for a couple of old hippies. We are of course honored that Lisa Null attended our wedding and has been our good friend and neighbor for many years.

Another 25 years with you, Bill? Rita's parole officer must be a nasty S.O.B. Oh well, she'll likely be canonized for it.

Oh and happy birthday.

Do I still pose nude with the autoharp? Only by special request, sweetie..*grin* (It has 4 G-strings!)

Yep....I see that all who know me realize that Rita is the secret to my youthful verve and also who reminds me how to behave in polite society. Hope to see bunches of you at the Getaway so I can show you what I have learned.....*buurrrrrrppp*
