... too sexy for my blog ... (Birthday wishes)

I had the strangest dream last night:

...The DHS girl had picked up that something was amiss, but a strategically placed index finger run from just behind her ear down to her throat while I explained the situation alleviated her concerns. She was suddenly quite helpful, and half a ton of red tape miraculously disappeared. It turns out she was a fan of Greg's. ...and mine.

Greg was going to get his gift, and I was going to give it to him....

But it turned out to be Janie talking to me via the Intertubes, and wishing me a happy birthday. Thanks Janie!

My grandmother was forever uttering these statements of fact ... If her ankle hurt, she would say "It's gonna rain" or if somebody spilled something she would say "an angle just sneezed" or whatever. And if I would scratch my nose, she would say "someone is talking about you.,.." But on the Intertubes, you just check Technorati, where I just found this. Thanks for the kind words, Troll Slayer!

And this nice present from ERV (Thanks ERV!):

About a year ago, a month before our wedding, I was walking with my wife (wife-to-be, I guess) and some friends through New York City. It was a hot, sunny summer day, so she was in a sun dress. We walked through parks, we met various friends throughout the city, and generally had a good time. That…
Note from ERV-- Like all posts on ERV, I wrote this one the night before (Thurs) and scheduled it for the next day (Fri). But with this post, I wrote it, but then just saved it, intending to completely alter the tone of the post as I was eating breakfast. But then I woke up to an extremely…

Happy birthday Greg. Keep up the good work, try not to get too inebriated, and may you have many happy returns of the day.

Too kind, my ass. I don't waste words saying things I don't mean. Well, not unless it's a lot funnier than that.

As for cake, how do you feel about chocolate? I know this great little bakery....

Happy Birthday, Greg.

May it be wonderfully filled with momentous surprises, and may you be too tired to blog tomorrow, for all the right reasons.

Birthday Kisses

Happy Birthday man, have a lot of fun today.

Challenge the IDists to figure out the CSI needed for you to get the stage of birthing.

Hey, I'd like to see them do something for once, and if they really take you up on it, they'll not be able to do anything else for an eternity.

Enjoy aging (along with the rest of us).

I am one of the twelve that read regularly. We worked hard behind the scenes to make Evolution 2008 a success, and I hope you had no networking issues. (We didn't hear of many) Best wishes on your birthday!

Happy Birthday Greg, may you have many more happy and productive years ahead!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Mr. Laden
Happy birthday to you!

happy birthday Greg!! Geminis in the House.

Correction: we're into Cancer now (not that *I* believe in any of that shit....).

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

Greg,

Happy B-day old man...

Hitting 75 years old isn't bad but not as good as me as I will hit 90 this year...lol...j/k

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. Isn't it our job to make you smile and laugh? Yet, the freaked out cat is a present that all of us can really appreciate. I bet you were one of those kids who would give your birthday presents away to other kids.
