Today Is My Birthday

and other natural disasters

from JoeUser Forums
44 years ago today a terrible disaster happened; I was born, wholly against my will.

I was hoping to celebrate by going on a nice long ride today punctuated with some pub hopping, but between the remaining vestiges of the flu bug and the arriving Wilma weather, I'm holed up at home resting.

Mom bought the new tires for my bike last weekend as my birthday gift, gave me a nice card this morning, and has a nicer triple chocolate cake for later today ("no you can't have it for breakfast"). Nothing wrong with a peaceful, quiet day at home, but I'd rather be out riding.

I second that. Happy b-day and welcome to the 44 years old club- my membership expires next month. Sigh...

Thanks, Mano. While i'm not doing what I really want to be doing, I'm enjoying the relaxation and rest after a hectic (and sick) work week.

Thanks Shovel. Just remember, it isn't the age that counts, it's the mileage.

Umm, on second thought forget that as it puts me into even worse shape than I already am.

Bill Cosby said Chocolate Cake is the perfect breakfast.  Would he lie?

Happy Birthday!

Thanks Guy.

I actually tried to use that arguement with Mom this morning.

Someone on one of the cycling forums asked me if I view my birthday any differently after my near fatal accident.

I have to say that yes, I do. Considering how very, very close I came to being killed, my natal anniversary reminds me that I am fortunate to be able to celebrate yet another year living on planet Earth.

Life isn't perfect. My physical, financial, and living situations aren't exactly as I would like for them to be. But after being a breath away from not even having a living situation, it's all good.

Happy Birthday, Mason! Too bad about Wilma interfering with your bike riding, but considering what almost happened to you spending a peaceful, quiet day at home is a beautiful alternative.

Don't eat too much cake, you need to save room for some liquid refreshments.

Alas, no good refreshments here. Maybe I'll pop over to the store and pick some up before the severe rains start shortly. Just had a tornado reported on the ground just about 20 miles South of here so looks like it's going to be an interesting night.

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
A million npeople every day are starving in the street

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water
There's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button, all they need it an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you
wow! (background screaming, sound effect)

Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed

I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

wow!

(Happy Birthday!)

And a pinch to grow an inch!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY From ME (& Wierd Al Yankovic!!!) ;~D
