OK, Folks, you know the drill. Alright 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 nsshere… but wait… the Sheriff’s not on today. Instead, we have a funny looking group of three 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! |
A Personal Aside: The Sheriff then turns and faces the camera, and says, “cahwyguy has asked me to add the following:
nsshere is my daughter, and she turns 13 today. Over the years, we have seen her blossom from Katie Ka-Boom into a delightful, thoughtful, and insightful young woman (although age 12 was sort-of touch-and-go!). I hope she remains such through her teenage years, and that they pass for her without too much teen angst and drama, other than the drama she wants on the stage. As she grows, I hope she finds in life what she wants out of it, for she deserves it (well, most of the time, after all, she is a teen). One last night, for those who saw the poll: the movie she ended up deciding to see was “Lars and the Real Girl” (which is what I thought she would want, looking over the list). One thing I’ve always loved about nsshere is that she is her own person, selecting her likes and dislikes based on her taste, not popular opinion or what her friends like. She’s not into most modern music — she opts for the Spice Girls and Broadway. She’s not into modern fads — she abhors “High School Musical”, and loves “Pippin” and “Hair”. She’s her own, with a unique style and outlook, and I love her for that.”
[Yes, it’s here. The 3rd Annual Birthday Poll. So, if you want to make sure that the Sheriff sings the song you want, please fill out the poll. Oh, and if you want the birdie to be able to inform the Sheriff about your birthday, you need to make sure your birth month and day is in your profile, and it is visible to your friends]
