I know birthday's can sometimes be depressing so here's some light entertainment to get you through the big day;
What was the average age of a cave man?
Stone Age!
What goes up and never comes down?
Your age!
What party game do rabbits like to play?
Musical Hares!
What did the bald man say when he got a comb for his birthday?
Thanks. I'll never part with it!
Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.
A well adjusted woman is one who not only knows what she wants for her birthday, but even knows what she's going to exchange it for.
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.
A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip!
You were born an original. Don't die a copy.
Fred: I was going to buy you a handkerchief for your birthday.
Harry: That was a kind thought. But why didn't you?
Fred: I couldn't find one big enough for your nose.
When is your birthday?
17th January.
What year?
Every year!

It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Reminds me of a question that I ask:When is your birthday?
17th January.
What year?
Every year!
"How many Birthdays did you have?"
One!
(You just celebrate it every year.)
Have you hugged your arghule today?

You and EL share the day with someone very special to me. I'll never forget.

Make sure I get a piece from the end, and not the middle where that...that...that letter is defacing the rest of a gorgeous looking cake.

Yep! When I was in year 9 our English teacher used to do weekly spelling tests. I, at the time, was very good at writing in runic (runes) and so used to write on the side of my school folder the words each week in runic.Avatar wrote:(A bevvy is a drink...a beverage. Sea can't spell.)

That said, in this country it's actually spelt "bevy":
bevvy
bevy (colloq)
noun bevvies, bevies
1. Alcoholic drink, or an individual alcoholic drink.
2. A drinking session.

As an outsider looking in, I can see both spellings and accept either one.Avatar wrote:I'd spell it with 2 V's simply for pronunciation purposes...with one, it looks like it should be pronounced "beevey" *shrug* Not important really.![]()
Sea's, as the original word only has one "v," and as an abbreviation it makes sense not to add a letter.
Av's, for exactly the reason he stated, pronunciation.
In either case, since it's a new term to me, I would go with the flow of wherever I was that was using it. Should I choose to use it here, I would most likely go with Av's spelling though.

Actually, the word is "spelled"Seareach wrote: That said, in this country it's actually spelt "bevy":
Hee hee....I don't know if that's true or not. I just wanted to get in on the nitpicking. 'Cause it's fun.

Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life
Happy Birthday Tennessee!!

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
