Recently Birthdayed

For those of you each year forced to post your own birthday threads, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

I know its a royal pain in the glutes to remember everyones B-Day around here so I thought I would wad them all into a single thread.

On June 22nd I will be celebrating the anniversary of my 16th birthday. 'Course that was.. (takes off shoes to use all digits. Notices shortage and uses wifes digits as well.) 27 years ago.

So... I fully expect someone to check this thread come June. :biggrin:

The best things in life, aren't things.

I'll be the big Two-One (thats 21, not 3 or whatever number you managed
to turn it into) on July the 10th. I still think we should have
something in our profiles with DOB and have it post the birthdays on
the front page. Would be plenty easy enough...eh Lep :wink:

Yeah Reno that could be right above the cool Country Flags. =)

I think this is cool.. I was Born Nov 3 1970, My Wife was Born Nov 2 1972.. Well I think its cool anyways.

I mentioned this and a calendar of events ages ago.. It was either vetoed, or forgotten.

A calendar could have our birthdays, without the need to code each profile.

I will be 19 on july 11 :smile:

July 16th 1983

Yes, I know the end of WW3 in Akira (the movie, not the manga) is on my 9th birthday ... now you do too.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

One year of marriage June 18th, one year of moving up to Madison to start my job June 23rd, and 22nd birthday June 28th.

Last year was a fun 10 day spread :smile:

Its essentially going to do the same thing. The code running each
profile is identical, its is just a database after all. Every person
could enter their DOB into their profile the same as other information,
and Lep would just have to write a bit of code that compares todays
date to each DOB field in the database, and if the day of the year
matches, then print out something somewhere (either in a special
calender type page, or on the front page or something) saying whose
birthday it is. I think for him to make up a calender would really be
as much, if not more, hassle.

Regardless of how its implemented though, it would be nice :smile:

The easiest way for the DB end would be to create a new field ... however, as far as I've seen Lep tries to avoid that. Probably because there's an ass-load of initialization code. But, I could be wrong, since I don't know how the site is set up exactly.

The actual implementation of anything usually isn't that hard. It's getting it to run nice and even with your current system that is the problem.

Adding flags would be cake though. Since he already has the countries stored.

As luck would have it, I have not seen, nor heard of a single Wisconsin bus since you moved up there. I reckon I will just have to make a weekend of it next time I deliver to Chicago and come your way Andrew.

Tell your spouse to not be surprised if I show up around delivery time. Uncle Jon just loves new younguns to brag about :smile:

Course, thats all dependent on you conferring the expected delivery date. :wink:

Next year, may 8, i'll be turning to an adult :smile:

ON DECEMBER 2ND, 1992, A NEW TYPE OF BOMB EXPLODED OVER NEO TOKYO.

January 17, 1989. If Martin Luther King were the Dalai Llama, I would almost be eligible to succeed him. Also, Bush senior first bombed Iraq on my second birthday.

AT 2:17 P.M. ON DECEMBER 6TH, 1992, A NEW TYPE OF BOMB EXPLODED OVER THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF JAPAN.

Is what the manga says.

The Anime just says

1988 * 7 * 16

(I'd be 5, not 9. Sorry, mixed up the years)

Why did he change the date? I don't know. But most likely, it's because the Anime came out in 1988.

Is there a purpose to all this Cass/Crono?

I was attempting to do something here worth while. :/

If I am missing something Vital, please feel free to explain to me, but otherwise, stop with the Cartoon comments please.

Yes, I know its not a damned cartoon, I just said that to emphasis my displeasure. :rolleyes:

Boo f**king Hoo

A few weeks ago (30th April) I reached the Big 3-0, so joining the pipe and slippers brigade. :smile:

That's an oldie! :razz:

Next year, 5 march, I'll get my second cross on the back, as we say in Holland. 20 that is.

By that time, the disaster at Chernobyl is also almost 20 years ago...

Most of us are catching up though Orph (yes, I'm aware thats actually
completely false) - a few years ago you were the one of the few post-20
year old members let alone any higher, now there are far more of us in
those ranks :smile:

I will know you are catching up when, most of my dumb replies start to make sense to you. Don't laugh, I have seen it happen quite a few times.

(dumb as in, younger folks see it as such, not that they are truly dumb)

The best things in life, aren't things.

I turned 20 a little more than a month ago, on April 21st.

I'm catching you up mate and your posts aren't making any more sense. :wink:

Just kidding - you're like Gandalf, both in terms of wisdom and age. :smile:

/doesn't know whether to run or not :biggrin:

Age doesn't guarantee wisdom. I have seen it right here and at PFL coming out of 15 year olds. It is rare, but it happens.

I would never stretch the definition of wisdom to include myself but... Some of what I say will make more sense as you age.

My all time favorite belief.. "Life is like a circle. The young worry about whats outside of it, the old worry about whats inside. Worry about what you can actually change which is on the inside of the circle."
When that makes sense to you, you will be catching up.

I turn 14 next April! Am I the youngest member?

I can just imagine Orph walking around in a white robe with a huge beard... then thwapping people over the head with a big stick. Teehee. :biggrin:

im 34, crono and his bud were talking about a bit of anime. And that made perfect sense to me Orph. So I guess Im old enough to understand and young enough to relate to the kiddies. =) NOW GET OFF MY GRASS.. you little punks.

I was born on December the 12th 1983 and I was 21 last time.

So people get a easy way to remember my birthday and it also works wekk in the american way of writing dates with the month first. Strangly enough my sister was born on Novermber the 11th but 3 years earlyer.

Interesting things that happed on my birthday

some bloke with the same first name as me was executed for rape but that was is 1777 and in 1983 a truck bomb explodeed at the US Embassy in Kuwait.

Oh and Orph alot of what you say makes sence to meyou seem to phrase things the same as me.

On the same day I was born (30th April 1975) Saigon surrendered and the Vietnam war ended. Crikey, learn something new every day as the saying goes.

You have my deepest sympathies. I go through most of my days explaining details to people who are supposed to be smart enough to walk and chew bubble gum.

You may be in for a bleak future. :/

One day later in both instances!

November 15, 1982.

I think that puts me in the top ten for age oddly enough. There is a sharp drop at 21/22 which seems to indicate that people tend to fall away after graduating from college. I certainly haven't been around as much.

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

Ok... now if someone used thier brain in the first place, they would have asked lep to code a simple Birthday script so it says happy birthday and records all our birth info... FEWLS! I think hes coding it as we speak though...
