It’ll be my birthday in about 3 hours, Korea time. I will officially be old enough to know better, while continuing to be too dumb to care.
But that hasn’t stopped me so far, so I think I’ll just carry on as usual, noting the gray hairs appearing in the skateboarder-goatee, but reacting to them with a hearty woo-hoo rather than a weedy boo-hoo. This, my friends, is the secret to my success, longevity, and general all-around air of worldly incoherence.
So happy birthday to me. Have a drink for me, won’t you? I’ll be sure to return the favour when your next birthday rolls around…

    Head on over to EmptyBottle.org to wish everyone’s favorite chicken, stavrosthewonderchicken, a very happy birthday. I’m such a trackback slut

  2. Happy Birthday! If I were there, I’d give you a big wet one, right on the lips. But since I’m not, virtual hug, kisses.

  7. Have a very happy one, Stavros. I’m just about to hit the sack but I promise to drink eight or nine beers in your honor tomorrow night.

  8. I’ll raise one to you in about two hours. I’ll look really stupid facing east, raising a glass, and speaking in a foreign tongue. But that’s the cost (and the fun) of these things.

  26. Happy birthday.
    I said that in Korean, of course; your browser just doesn’t support the characters.

  27. Thank you folks. I am genuinely touched by your well-wishing.
    It’s near-enough-dammit 20 years today since the first time I got utterly shitfaced with a bunch of friends, stayed out all night, cruised the same streets of our tiny hometown over and over again listening to rawknroll and singing offkey, sat on the deck at Barry’s folks’ cabin by the lake, swilling rye whiskey. I feel a little old, but I also feel pretty damn good, this far down the track.
    I’m a lucky man to have the friends I do, virtually and otherwise. Here’s to you!
    *drinks*

    Cheers! Onya, Stav. Happy birthday.

  29. Happy birthday, you crusty old bastard. I’m late, as usual, but I promise to have at least three drinks for you to make up for it.

  30. I bit late but nonetheless sincere. . . Happy Birthday!

  31. I’ve had a few toasts for you old chook and I’ve ended up a bit pissed and can’t remember the rude joke I’d saved for your birthday. Sorry.
    Have a good one.

  32. Argle. I came by only one day late (honest!) and added my congratulations, but I see it didn’t take. Happy (belated) birthday, old fowl, and many happy returns!

  33. Argh. I came by only one day late (honest!) and added my congratulations, but it didn’t take.
    Happy (belated) birthday, old fowl, and many happy returns!

  34. I am a teetotaler, I will be happy to do a gigantic bong hit in your honor. Happy Birthday to You…
