Is that to the day? My daughter is having her birthday a week after Roger, but she has the digits reversed.

At school I had a friend with the same birthday as me. Everybody remembered his and forgot mine. My ex had a birthday 2 days before me. Everybody (including her!!!!) remembered hers and forgot mine. In the end I decided it would be a whole lot easier all round if I just forgot mine too!

I think they remembered the date, but they forgot "Member 9082365" and then especially the last part.
How awkward would it be to say "Hey Member 9082366, happy birthday! " ?
Easier to just ignore it altogether

Happy Birthday!!!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

happy birthday to you!
(As played on the worlds smallest violin)
Sorry your mother forgot, and I hope your local friends remember!
Have as good a day as you can, and remember: you are only as old as the lady you feel. Or locked up, one of the two...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Happy birthday, Roger
You were a young 46 year old when we first encountered each other on CP!
|
|
|
|
|
My God! Has it really been that long???
How did we ever find all that time we spent chatting online?
Will Rogers never met me.

|

Yeah, those chat sessions on Sonork, with about 8-10 of us from CP, those were pretty awesome
I remember discussing if .NET would ever take off (we were all playing with the 1.0 pre-beta) among other things!
|
|
|
|
|
I remember discussing whether you should tell Smitha how you really feel.
That is far more important to me than any of our technical discussion; that's when I got to know you as a man, and a friend. I treasure those memories...
Will Rogers never met me.

Yeah, good times

Happy birthday to you.
And Michael Nesmith.
And Davy Jones...but he's dead, so he doesn't count.

Thanks a bunch, Ravi! I'm probably too old to do a jig, and I prefer scotch over beer, but I don't think we have a scotch.gif available. Perhaps, now that I'm retired, I should devote some time to creating more expressive emoticons for our favorite forum... I did a steaming turd years ago, but Chris declined to adopt it for some reason.

So I've just seen the new Star Wars.
I liked it, but I wasn't like "oohhhhh ahhhh".
Many times I had the feeling there are A LOT of parallels with A New Hope.
A bigger and badder death star that cannot destroy one, but five planets at once, with, again, a tiny hole weak spot that must be hit by X-Wings? Come one!
So the ending was even a bit lame (although we do like bigger and badder Death Stars, admit it!).
What's bothering me even more though is that The Republic is basically the intergalactic government.
In Episode I to III we see it turn from good (well, as good as governments get) to evil (The Republic becomes The Empire).
In Episode IV to VI we see the evil government being defeated by a rebel group.
So after Episode VI the government turns good again and the rebels now work together with the government (so technically they're not rebels anymore...).
Then how is it that a splinter group, The First Order, can get bigger and mightier than the actual government!?
Who funds them? And where is the governments army when the splinter group is building this massive weapon that can destroy five planets using the power of a complete sun!?
Using up a sun doesn't seem like a good idea by the way, and where do these suns come from anyway?
So that weapon is just over the top crap (it already was in Episode IV, but now it's just to big to turn a blind eye).
But destroying five planets? Planets that are rich and that probably fund and provide The First Order with supplies (through illegal channels, I'm sure). If that doesn't negatively impact The First Order directly it will certainly impact them indirectly by destroying the entire galactic economy in one blow.
And shouldn't Stormtroopers be loyal to The Republic?
So The First Order is basically The Republic, but they're not so they destroy The Republic in one blow and now the story fits again?
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but the setting just feels kind of wrong.
Still fun to watch
