I thought he was the 27th, two days afore me. But a big old sad +1 to this sentiment.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

I'd read somewhere it was yesterday... but I could be wrong.

Wikicrapia says it is the 27th, so... not sure where I'd read that, but it was obviously mistaken.

It happens. :)

I was just doing it AHEAD of everyone else. A preemptive Happy Birthday, then. ;)

Your birthday is a day after Finley's! (I think we've had this conversation before, haven't we?)

Holy crap!

Yes, I think it is! In the original picture, the Smurf looked to be dressed up in Native American gear. I edited the picture using MicroSoft Paint, erasing the feathers hanging off of the spear, and adding a shield to his left hand.

Thank you both, gentlemen. Stopped counting after 40 and all that but most appreciated all the same! Going out to Point Reyes for an all day hike and planning on getting together with some friends for an "old person is older" dinner tonight. My best mate's B-day is tomorrow and he loves to rag me for this one day that I'm the old man! Speaking of birthdays tomorrow, isn't there someone else of note around here that has one tomorrow as well, Ron?? ;)

AND I see that I stand in good company! A +1 Happy Birthday going out to young master Finley as well, Al! 8-)

Hope you enjoy your hike Argennian!

On a side note, you also recieve an increase in Int and Wis (aging effects from 2e AD&D). Here is to learning new ideas and skills each day!
Even a child that receives one bit of praise has the ability to excel in a single talent, and those who receive regular encouragement can feel confidence, achieve success, and become leading members of society. Because they don’t believe they are worthless, they don’t need to raise a fist and have vengeance against fate or the world at large… ~Inspector Lunge

I was barely on this weekend, so a thousand pardons for missing this. Happy belated birthday, Argennian.

Ron, happy on-time birthday to you as well. :D
