Birthday Wishes for gyesika on May 4, 2005

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 gyesika… 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
And gifts and laughter do abound
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song

Happy birthday!
Now you’re one year older!
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn’t over!
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn’t die this year
I guess that’s good enough

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
And eating food and taking naps
And hoping that someday perhaps
Your life will hold some cheer

Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You’re starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It’s downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
Your best years are all gone

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
This is the only life you get
And though it hasn’t ended yet
Sometimes you wish it might

Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money
Happy birthday!
Your life’s so sad it’s funny
Happy birthday!
How much more can you take?
But your friends are hungry
So just cut the stupid cake

Seriously, gyesika, have the happiest of birthdays as your life turns around for you out in Austin, the home of the Lizards and great BBQ. Next time you’re in the Valley, we’ve got loads of new houses to show you, as not only is ellipticcurve moving into a new house (I think escrow is closing on your birthday), but we’re also moving to a new house. Happy birthday wishes from all of us.

Patrick: Put Another Candle On Your Birthday Cake

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 patgund… but wait… the Sheriff’s not on today. Instead, we have a funny looking group of three guys, and they are singing:

Happy birthday!
Now you’re one year older!

Seriously, patgund, may this year be a much better year than your past one. May you find a happy, stress-free work situation, and enjoy spending time with your little girl and your hobbies. Hopefully, I’ll see you in June working at the OERM Open House: Perhaps our girls can meet each other!
