Happy birthday, Odo!

A very happy birthday to our very own Mr. Banks on his [redacted] annual 39th birthday! May you have another great year on this side of The Hill!

Is odo a capricorn, cos that would explain a lot.
and the smell of goat.

Happy Birthday Odo!!!!!!!!!!!!! In honor of your birthday, I shall ban Buckie in a small area of Forumshire! {{{ }}}

Well, however did you find out? Yes, 39. Not too old, but mature and wise, and not too young and feckless! I've been keeping my Birthdays quiet ever since I turned 30 --- about nine years ago, in fact!

Happy 39th Odo! You don't look a day over twenty three. Well preserved, I say! I told the students here it's probably due to your clean living and blameless life! Bless Eru! :-janesmith

I must admit, sometimes I look in the mirror and say, "I wish I was more like Mr Odo Banks, esquire." But I'm at a loss to know how. Happy Birthday!

Just the right age then, it sounds! As to how I found out; I have you on Facebook, but I thought we should have a celebration here as well for the benefit of those poor souls who are still resisting Facebook's siren call.

Orwell If you look in the mirror and see Odo its because you have finally become a respectable hobbit. Even though hes a bit ripe. its funy innit but if I didnt know any better I would think you were related to Odo.

Oh resplendant fellow
with gentle eye
why did Eru send you? ---
oh i know why!

to bring a semblance
of all that's respectable...

{{{Really, Odo, must I do this? ... Oh alright then!}}}

where was I? oh yes...

to bring a semblance
of all things respectable
goodness and graciousness
and morals, delectable

{{{People will know this isn't chaneling Odo, you know that... Alright! Alright!}}}

oh how noble his brow
how deep his meaningful eye
how sweet his eel ---
caught on the tide

{{{okay, i'll put it in }}}

oh look at him standin'
on the soapbox of Eru the Sweet {{{ }}}
with his noble face
and neatly brushed feet

and how they love him -
though they never say it -
a Sagitarian of Goodness
and of ever so gay wit

{{{you know there is a new meaning for "gay" nowadays, don't you!? Alright, I'll stick with tradition }}}

Oh how the maidens glow
and the old ladies stand tall
straightening their backs
as they watch him in awe

so regal, so saintly,
so wise and sublime
with the knowledge of the Ages -
and only 39

{{{Odo - you just won't fool anyone... Yes, janesmith will say anything you tell her, but no one else... ALRIGHT!!}}}

so kind to children
and folk with low intelligence
and loyal to family,
he has the memory of oliphaunts

he remembers the Coal Scuttle
and the rotten McTyrants
with their rude mini-kilts
and their buckie fueled defiance!

oh look at him now
with eye gleaming with niceness
and goodness and Eruness
and genuine rightness...

what more can i say,
happy birthday, God among Hobbits,
lift up your hearts in joy, friends
and fill all your goblets

to Odo to Odo
our flower in spring,
for who the Bards clamour
for who the Bards sing

oh where is that cake
that Kafria must be cookin"?
he deserves a fine cake
not just 'cause he's good lookin'

but 'cause he is the
unspoken Ruler of Forumshire
but still quite Respectable
and not the least bit quire.

{{{No one will fall for it, Odo... Yes, I said so already and I'm sayin'it again now.... ... No, you can't make me do that... NO!... ... ... Oh alright!!!!!... }}}

Who can know with these things, Mrs Figg? Who knows? {{{ }}}

{{{I don't know how, but I could read the encryption, Eldo! Who were you blocking out, I wonder? Anyhow, I think Odo sees himself as the Lord High Moral Person. It's a titular thing - and I don't mean "tits" btw - you know, a title without actual power - as you know morals have no weight here where Free Spirits dance and eels are not ashamed to bound forth! }}}

Oh happy birthday Uncle Odo! I never realized you were so young. You're much younger than Mummy. I actually thought Mummy was three years younger than you! How silly of me.. let me see, that would make you ten, no more than ten years young---... that can't be, surely!

Sorry, excuse me, for a moment, my palantir is ringing....

.... .... ....


Are you there, Uncle Odo? Err... it was a Wrong Number {{{ }}} from someone trying to sell me some dodgy idea actually {{{ }}}... Anyway, Uncle, I do remember now, you are soooooo much younger than Mummy, your younger sister.. {{{ }}}

Sorry... palantir again ....

....

That was your older sister... my mistake. {{{ }}}

Happy Birthday anyhow... {{{ }}}

Odo o Odo
respectable gent
I think you must be
from Eru sent
today its your birthday
you are 39
I think you are fibbin
you are 49
but never you mind
I think you will find
you will still wow the lasses
with your OAP bus pass

How dare you, Mrs Figg. I can say, without even having my fingers crossed, that I am NOT 49!!!

well 50 then. and a very respectable age it is. you silver fox you.

How dare you! And stop guessing -- it's soooooo rude. {{{Please don't keep going, Mrs Figg, or else you'll be right at some time.... }}}

Happy birthday, Odo!

sorry Odo just teasing your eel and my pussies say happy birthday too

There is an old Forumshire saying, Mrs Figg.

"Hobbit eels and hobbit pussies go tightly together, unless they are woosies!"

Come to think on it, I wonder about that saying. You know, I always thought eels mainly desired to reside in marine locations while pussies were at least outwardly terrestrial! I must look up my book of Forumshire Quotes to see what it actually means...

Happy Birthday, Odo! What an honour to be born on the same day as you. I only hope that one ay I can be as Respectable.
