Subject: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 01 Aug 07 - 10:25 AM Dear Joe! Since no date is given in the birthday list, only month and year, the question is, whether your birth lasted a whole month, or perhaps because you celebrate 31 days? Whow!!! So I think it is the best to start the thread on the 1st; all mudcatters are kindly invited to fill up this thread from now on until the end of the month. Congratulations in September will be definitely too late. So let it be a lottery: who hits the exact date has to report to Joe rolling in a barrel (he will notify you, and I hope, us losers, too). Happy birthday, Joe! |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: MMario Date: 01 Aug 07 - 10:37 AM True - Joe has often expressed that He feels birthday threads are a bit silly - which is why we usually subject him to a birthmonth Thread. Happy first day of Brithmonth, Joe! |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Amos Date: 01 Aug 07 - 01:50 PM Jeeze, Joe, aren't you gonna knock it off, this Birthday scam? Somehow these threads came together for me -- "Happy Birthday, Joe Offer!"..."Waste of good mahogany"..."Hot Australilan meat pie...". But I am sure it was all just a horrible coincidence. Kinda like your birthday. I am very glad you are riding the time-wave so gracefully and all that, joe, but this is a folk music site!! ;>) Congrats, pal. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Wolfgang Date: 01 Aug 07 - 05:56 PM As each year, I'll resist the temptation to post "happy birthday" on the exact day. What would be a perfect present? I could start a "We miss Shambles" thread? Or I could find a tune to lyrics yet without tune? Or... Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Janie Date: 02 Aug 07 - 12:52 AM Every year at just this time we get a chance to proffer a month of fun and silliness to our good bro', Joe Offer. Reveal the date, he will not do. I think he's superstitious. He hopes in hiding it will be to birthday threads pernicious. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Amos Date: 03 Aug 07 - 02:10 PM See, this is the problem with management. To supress birthday threads, he hides his birthday, so now they start thirty of them to celebrate his birth-month!! It's not so much the "law of unintended consequences" as the law of "too fockin' dumb to understand the consequences"...fortunately in this case, it doesn't hurt anyone except mebbe Joe's pride. But, see, Joe, the boys at the MOAB understand this phenopmenon real well. Ask BWL about the law of that which cannot be fucked with. A |
