Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Joe_F Date: 18 Aug 15 - 01:31 PM The first time I saw an obituary & thought "Was that old bastard still alive?", I then thought "I have reached a certain age". |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: GUEST,# Date: 21 Aug 15 - 03:57 PM I coulda sworn I recently saw a thread about this. No wonder he's aging. Seems like he's having birthdays at the rate some people fart. Happy Birthday, Joe. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 21 Aug 15 - 04:11 PM Well, maybe he likes compliments, nice things expressed to him...and tax-free presents!! GfS |
Subject: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August17) From: GUEST,hg Date: 21 Aug 15 - 06:31 PM Joe Offer said on Facebook that his birthday is august 17th. We all know he wouldn't lie about this so now after all these years, we know for sure! love, harpgirl |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August17) From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Aug 15 - 07:25 PM It was fun keeping it a mystery all those years that khandu ran the birthday threads, but khandu hasn't been around much lately and the thrill of the mystery wore off. So I "came out." I was born on August 17, same day as Davy Crockett. There was a time when I was very proud of my Davy Crockett coonskin cap and my Davy Crockett umbrella tent. Did Davy Crockett sleep in umbrella tents? Oh, by the way, Harpgirl and I lived very close to each other in Detroit when we were toddlers, but we didn't know each other then. We met at Mudcat, and in person at the Florida Folk Festival. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: Big Al Whittle Date: 21 Aug 15 - 08:39 PM have you ever considered writing a song about you? not much rhymes with Offer..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August17) From: Rapparee Date: 21 Aug 15 - 09:07 PM Joe, I can get you a jen-u-wine coonskin cap...but ya gotta wear it. To church and on airplanes and out in public generally. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August17) From: ChanteyLass Date: 21 Aug 15 - 11:02 PM Joe can't wear a coonskin cap on an airplane. If he tries to do so, he will be arrested by Homeland Security, and where would we all be without him? |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August17) From: GUEST,# Date: 21 Aug 15 - 11:10 PM Good lord, I swear I just posted to Joe's birthday thread. I think my minds goin' funny. Well, for what seems like the third time in a week, Happy Birthday, Joe. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Aug 15 - 11:13 PM Joe, was Abraham Lincoln president when you were a boy? (How many candles on that cake?) |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday, Joe Offer! From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 21 Aug 15 - 11:55 PM Oh, there was a fellow named Joe Offer He had so many birthdays, Just to fill the coffer...umm...or is that coffers? Well for a coffer for each day made it coffers.... Shit, it don't matter, He ain't refusin' any offers. he can get close enough to the pretty lady, especially not to boff her... Tra-la-la-la-la la...fer! GfS |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: GUEST,hg Date: 22 Aug 15 - 12:47 AM I once walked over a bridge with Joe in Myyaka State Park. Underneath it were dozens and dozens of alligators in a mud hole. Deep down, Joe trusts me. |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Aug 15 - 01:35 AM There was an old birthday thread that somebody resurrected for me this year, and many people posted to it. Then Harpy started a new thread with my birth date in the title, since my sister "outed" me this year and revealed that date on Facebook. I figured I'd better combine the two threads, lest somebody accuse me of narcissism (see 2007 message from Spaw, above). This all started long ago, when I expressed my disdain for birthday threads and for birthdays in general - which is why I wouldn't reveal my birthday. Then, Khandu started the annual monthlong Cult of the Joe Offer Birthmonth Thread. So, I lost the battle years ago. I still think birthdays are boring, but this one was rather pleasant. Thanks for the good wishes. Acme asks if Abe Lincoln was President when I was a kid. Well, my pal Davy Crockett gave me his tent and cap before he died at the Alamo in 1836, and that was a long time before Abe was President. So, you do the math. 1864 was the last time I voted for a Republican for President. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: GUEST Date: 22 Aug 15 - 10:36 PM Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and a great following year...... Thde only thing better than an off day is an offer day..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: GUEST,guest Date: 23 Aug 15 - 12:41 PM I can't wish joe a happy birthday because of his help for those covering up the Nazi in the Vancouver folk song circle for decades. he censored full proof of the old Nazis past and supported those who covered it up--because they are all pals and good ole buys and girls. they still had there Nazis picture on their web site mast head until five years ago. it shows the deep rooted racism in anglo culture. they will forgive any Nazi, but never forgive those who struggle for real justice and equality.

Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: akenaton Date: 23 Aug 15 - 01:55 PM Well, I know he won't thank me for the commendation, but Joe is ALWAYS straight in his responses to problems on the forum, always replies to PM's, and I like him. If he has one tiny flaw, it is in being too civil to the people who insult him and his beliefs........anyway, if its good enough for #, it's good enough for me......awrra best Joe, an' mony happy returns o' the day! |
Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: Raedwulf Date: 23 Aug 15 - 04:00 PM Narcissism! Narcissim! All hail the Offerred Behemoth!! Or whatever it was he was saying. I missed it in all the well-merited good wishes... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 24 Aug 15 - 04:21 PM Gosh, Susan...you're a mod, and you don't know who the (other) Susan is, that is referred to as 'Deleting Susan'???..... There is another thread named,'Sigh'....they were arguing over beer...join in! Sounds like your crowd!! GfS P.S. Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic, And so am I!

Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 24 Aug 15 - 07:06 PM Good!.......Someone ought to find out who is responsible for deleting all the posts, that doesn't agree with a very narrow mind...as far as 'Deleting Susan', I'm not the one that called her that originally, either...I just picked up on the previous post. Gosh, isn't it a drag to be tagged with a label, that one is completely innocent of???....as in 'Bigot' 'Homophobic' 'Racist' 'Misogynist' and all the other 'so-called liberal' programmed labels, scattered all over Mudcat, by the usual gang of misguided children? Wysiwy G!, If that is true, both my apologies and condolences...apologies to being mislabeled, (as I, also have been), and condolences for your 'political views'.... GfS P.S. Thank you, Joe. |

Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Joe Offer (August 17) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Aug 17 - 08:56 PM One day isn't enough to celebrate some things. (And of course actual birthday details often get used to confirm identity, and that sadly can involve risks these days.) Thanks for being here, Joe. In this world, and with the Mudcat. |
