Think about it folks, What are we celebrating? Not merely that one of our fellow Catters is having a birthmonth. Noooo! We are celebrating the fact that

JOE OFFER

was BORN!!!!

You know, had he not been born, we'd all be sitting around, posting threads, such as the Why Hasn't Joe Offer Been Born Yet Thread, to which Spaw, in his great wisdom and compassion, would say something like, "I don't know, but it has certainly been a dreary world without Joe Offer in it."

And think of the campfire songs that would have faded away into oblivion without Joe Offer being born.

I shudder to even think of such things, and I, for one, am unashamed to say

"Joe Offer, I am glad you were born and found your way to the Mudcat Cafe!!! Happy Birthmonth to you!!!"
