OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and join Sheriff John in singing the Birthday Cake Polka for ellipticcurve… but wait… the Sheriff’s not on today. Instead, we have a funny looking group of guys, and they are singing:
| Once a year we celebrate With stupid hats and plastic plates The fact that you were able to make Another trip around the sun And the whole clan gathers round Happy birthday! |
So let’s drink to your fading health And hope you don’t remind yourself The chance of finding fame and wealth Decrease with every year Does it feel like you’re doing laps Happy birthday! |
If cryogenics were all free Then you could live like Walt Disney And live for all eternity Inside a block of ice But instead your time is set Happy birthday! |
I must add: For those of you who have never met ellipticcurve (Nicole), you’re missing something. She came into our life around 3 years ago, and very quickly became a part of our family. She’s a work colleague, a good friend, an older sister to our daughter, and just a really neat person. Her interests are congruent to ours, and we just enjoy being around her. I think every couple develops one or two truly close friendships that remain throughout their lives, that form the extended family that you choose to be with, as opposed to your real family (who you must be with). With us, ixixlix and her family are one, and ellipticcurve is the other. So, although many birthday wishes here on LiveJournal are proforma, I want the world to know that this one is especially really heartfelt.
