OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, and introduces himself as Sheriff John. He sings his opening song, which should be our motto for the upcoming year:

Laugh and be happy and the world will laugh with you
When people see you smiling they can’t help smiling too
When you look out the window to a dark and gloomy day
Break out a smile and in a while the gloom will go away

So laugh and be happy with a merry melody
A song will make a hat rack look like a Christmas tree
Get rid of worry in a hurry, chase the blues away
Just laugh and be happy all the live…. long….. day..

He then says: Boys and girls, tonight we celebrate the end of the 2006^th positive year of the conventional calendar. Please be careful with your buttermilk and cookies tonight, and if you do drink too much, have a designated buddy to see you safely home.

Now, my records show we have a very special birthday boy today. Quite the accomplished author, he consistently is entertaining, and is a really neat person to know. Please join me in singing the Birthday Cake Polka for underpope:

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says, “Many years ago, on a PBS station far far away, there was this program called Zoom, and they had an odd little birthday song they sang. Our birthday buckaroo today requested the Zoom! birthday song, so hopefully this is what the partner wanted. friday18, this is for you”. He strums his accordion, and sings:

Hubappuby Bubirthdubay tubo yubou,
Hubappuby Bubirthdubay tubo yubou,
Hubappuby Bubirthdubay dubear Frubidubay18,
Hubappuby Bubirthdubay tubo yubou!

[Please remember, if you fill out the updated poll in this posting, I can make sure you get the birthday song you want. You should also note that LJ has updated their profile mechanism: you can now enter your birth day and month, but have it hide the specific year (while still providing it to LJ for statistical purposes). So, for those of you with no birthday information in your profile… go update it now. And this means you, friday18, as I had to find out your birthday from rjlippincott]

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 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

A little over 3½ years ago, a delightful young woman entered my life, and the life of my family. Starting as just a coworker, she has become “one of the family”, both a peer to us and yet an older sister to our daughter. A friend when we’ve needed her. Although she has her quirks and ideosyncracies, we all love her dearly. She is the reason you’re reading this: she’s the one that introduced me to LJ, and through her, I have met a large number of people who are on my friends list, and who have proven to be really neat people in real life.

Tomorrow is her birthday. Tomorrow the Sheriff will come out and sing her selected birthday song. But I wanted to give an early birthday wish today, and to encourage all of you to join me in wishing her a happy birthday tomorrow.

Happy birthday, ellipticcurve. No matter what they say, we’ll still trust you. [Update: Even if what they say has an off-by-one error :-)]

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform, wearing a Viking hat (horns and all), strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says:

I know you’re wondering what happened to my sharp lawman’s cowboy hat. We’ll, in honor of today’s song, I’ve decided to wear a different hat. I’ve also asked the Volga Boatmen to accompany me on this song. This is going out to you, aliza250.

He then clears his throat, takes out his guitar, plucks an “A” note, and then starts singing:

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says, “Yes, this is a little early, for dianec42‘s birthday is tomorrow. But I’m about to saddle up the horse to ride out to Perris to spend some time with my buddy Thomas, so I wanted to get this out before I left. By the way, do you know how you start a horse? You kick-start it!”. He pulls out his accordion, and then starts singing the Birthday Cake Polka for dianec42:

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, pulls out his accordian, and sings:

Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear cafemusique
Happy birthday to you.

I’d sing it again, but I’d have to pay a royalty to Time/Warner.
