Happy Birthday, you magnificent red stallion. Contact us from the Other Side if you can.
Congratulations. As long as you're old at heart, you'll always look younger than you feel inside. The sense of humor should probably either be discarded or severed from the outside world, though-- funny non-sequiturs that show you're paying attention are a young person's thing.
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
You know how when you read about someone turning a certain age that is younger than you are? And that person seems to have accomplished so much more than you have?
Yea, nobody felt like that when I turned 40 either.
Wait, am I the oldest of the 10 front pagers listed?
Aw, feverish baby. Sounds like a good day to nap on the couch with the baby sleeping on your chest -- on a chilly day, a baby with a fever is better than a space heater.
And happy birthday!
accomplished so much more than you have
I have outbred most of my contemporaries, but that's about it.
5: Older than me, although not all that much. I dunno from Unf or Bob, but I'm pretty sure you're older than the rest of us, Gramps.
Happy birthday.
Jack Benny ruined 39, but you'll find soon enough that the 40s rock. With the right amount of wine and cheese.
am I the oldest of the 10 front pagers listed?
Indeed you are. Happy birthday, and don't fall in the shower, ok?
Hm, older ... crow's feet ... weathered skin ... you should check your answering machine -- you may have a message from an infatuated Iranian.
Great funky set!
I've said it before and I'll say it again -- Denzel Washington really *nailed* Malcolm's inflections and rhythms.
Oh, and happy b'day old man!
Many happy returns, whatever the hell that means.
You've got a family; You can afford good liquor; You don't need anything from me. Happy birthday nonetheless. Just promise that you'll pass on your preternatural internetting to the next generation, when they come of age.
Happy Birthday, you filthy, filthy man.
Before you know it, you'll be an opinionated grandpa!
39 does have a strange resonance, maybe because of remembered jokes about Benny, and I can remember feeling aware of age in a new way. I was changing the clutch on my old Subaru in the dead of winter the year I was 39, hoisting the VW-like engine up via a pulley on the rafters, instead of lifting the car up and off it like you did on the old beetles, and thinking for the first time "Maybe I'm too old for this."
I started listening to classical music almost exclusively around that time.
In some places they'd say you're already 40 as in "you're in your 40th year." Too late, you missed 39.
Happy birthday, Apo. You give us all something to look forward to.
It is a chilling thought that when Mozart was Apo's age...
Happy birthday, ya big lug.
I started the day by getting a cracked filling
There are worse ways to start the day. Typo, btw.
Just think, when George W Bush was your age he was still a happy, ineffectual, drink-sozzled cokehead MBA, who'd never caused the death of a single other human being, nor achieved anything else remarkable in his entire life.
Indeed you are.
Apo is teh Patriarch(y)!
Happy Birthday Apo! We will toast to your families health tonight.
who'd never caused the death of a single other human being
That we know of.
23: Apostropher for President in '22: Don't sweat the youthful indiscretions, and they were all youthful indiscretions.
Many more, Apo.
Apostropher gets two birthday wishes this year.
23: I should have gotten that MBA.
Happy Birthday Apo. Many happy returns (less an ill baby).
Happy birthday, you young whippersnapper. Now get the hell off my lawn.
Congratulations! Your dating pool has grown!
Instead of a birthday cake, how about a plate of deep-fried, bacon-wrapped twinkies?
Happy birthday, Apo. Your turn signal has been on for the last couple of miles, by the way.
On behalf of the redheads who aren't going to breed, I thank you for perpetuating the race and putting a genetic smackdown on hair-coloured hair.
Oh, and happy birthday. You coming to Pledge Formal?
Happy birthday Apo! The good news is that turning 39 is way worse than turning 40. The bad news is that turning 41 is worse yet.
I love you!
Blume, I have very strong affection for you too.
40: I'm sorry, it could never work between us.
I love you!
Now you're just trolling.
I was making good on my promise to apo to get it over with already and declare my love to him. On his birthday.
Happy Birthday, Apo. So glad that you are brining the "dirty old man" stereotype into the 21st Century.
brining the "dirty old man" stereotype
This is turning into a food thread, isn't it?
Re 40: Apo, I'm going to counsel you not to respond with "You're great, too."
Happy birthday, BTW.
This is turning into a food thread, isn't it?
worse, a diaper thread.
50: worse, a combination of the two.
I don't think I'd ever say that in the middle of that.
See? It's all garbled. You can't get your mouth around it.
wickeln Sie Ihre Öffnung um meine Aromafestlichkeit, Zuckerbrüste auf.
Special birthday message, apo.
I have felt significantly older and closer to death since I turned 40 recently. This is despite the fact that my own 40th birthday occurred under optimal conditions (natural beauty, lots of athletic sex). On the other hand, your child probably connects you to the ongoing cycle of life in a rich and earthy (even fecal) sort of way.
You gotta put the prefix from your verb before the term of endearment, Tweety.
You can't get your mouth around it.
I don't know that I've ever been called "treasure flax" before.
Apo: wickeln Sie Ihre Öffnung um meine Aromafestlichkeit auf, Zuckerbrüste.
Pedantisch!
Noch pedantischer: you typed it into Babelfish without the umlaut, didn't you?
Babelfish sez: winding it your opening around my flavour festiveness up, sugar chests.
63: Nein! Ich bilde umlauts wie Blähung.
I'm not sure it's altogether good for my German to be even trying to figure out what you mean.
mein Deutsch ist so großartig wie ein enormer glühender Aufsatz der Schlangen!
I don't think I'd ever say that in the middle of that.
I think the preferred fashion is to say "Generalkonsulat" (SFW, notwithstanding the warnings)
Kein Geschlechtsverkehr, nur Umarmen.
Actually, only my male member is the Mercedes of sex organs.
A belated (by internet standards) happy birthday, Apo!
my male member is the Mercedes of sex organs
But can it pass the moose test?
Happy motherfucking birthday, Apo, you dirty old man!
Happy birthday!
Have some delicious cake.
Have a funky birthday, apostropher. Many happy punctuations of it as well.
Happy birthday! You'll always be 10 months younger than I am, so there's that.
Congratulations on your impending passage from charmingly quirky young man to disturbingly creepy old man. All the best.
Congratulations.
BTW, I suddenly realized that you are the target audience for Songs For Parents Who Enjoy Drugs (lyrics).
It isn't his best album, but how can you resist the title.
Still seven minutes left to say, happy birthday.
A day late, dollar short, but happy birthday!
Happy birthday! I've been in cronehood for almost four months now, and it ain't so bad. Hope the baby feels better soon.
