A Very Happy Birthday

I'll let everyone guess whose birthday it is... by the forum header.

And I propose a toast: to the birthday person!

{{{{{That should keep everyone happy about Eldo's rule, right?}}}}}

Happy Birthday Eldo



Great Band.

(platonic)

Is it someones birthday? You should have said. Happy Birthday Eldo- almost old enough to buy your own buckie!!
I understand the special edition of the DP will be along at some point but well, its a birthday, the staff wanted to celebrate the birthday issue with a small barrel or two of drink, and well they really should have finished writitng it first is all I am saying.

Congratulations, Eldo Have a good one!

Illvatar Bless You, little darling:-jane

I have something in mind for your birthday, Eldo.... I'll whisper it: //////// ................... \\\\\\\\\\

"Why was he born so beautiful?
Why was he born at all?
Well, ask his Mum and Daddy,
It was all their fault I'm sure!

And now here he is, all grown up,
No one drowned him in the bath,
Or cut off his head at twelve years old,
Or killed him with a staff.

I guess it can't be helped now,
The Birthday Boy's still here -
And I guess he'll stay for ever -
Fulfilling Odo's greatest fear.

But this should be a happy time,
Break out the buckie, friends,
And remember this, the lad's still young,
He might one day make amends!"

The dark (birthday) dreamcloud of Odo, though with a silver lining - as channelled by Wisey Banks.

Fantastic. Poetry must run through the Banks veins.

Biffo needs to start channeling more often!

A big thank you to everyone, especially Baingil for making this thread and the new header , but also to everyone for your birthday wishes! This was a great way to start the day right after waking up. And I'll look forward to the special DP when it gets here.

I went by the office earlier just to see how things were going, um well, if it was a party- less well if you are writing a newspaper. On top of this mornings two and half hour 'Toast to the Admin' some sort of extra jubilation seems to have broken out. The most sense I could get was this "Just you wait. A sensation is what it is. A collectors edition Hobbit Lass of the Day- celebrity special-say no more. Is that my buckie or yours?"

The anticipation is mounting.

As is the amount of buckie the editors are drinking!

We can all count on the DP to be up to its usual standards of excellence then, I am sure.

Indeed, I'd be a lot more worried if they were sober!

"zey zay Deepee's a sawdad rag,
orr sosez mee nunkle Oddoh,
und zat evvreethin' zey evva sez,
iz joovenaisle ore ollo,

'tho eye muz udmitt i likes tha gals
zey avv on zat payj free
witch i by for mee dunny dor -
cawse eye udmire zee ardistree."

Oooh i cun chunnell - zoe eye dun nowe wat chunell eggsacklee?

I hope you have a lovely birthday Eldo! Have a good 'un!

Biffo sums up the excellency of the DP quite beautifully! *sniff*

Ally!!! You are still with us!! Good to see you back about the place!

Thanks Ally; I've had a really good day so far! It's good to see you again, too.

Thank you, Kafria (and Squach)! It was nice, especially here on Forumshire where it was so crazy-active.
