Behold, 'tis the day for Mods to have birthdays! No less than two of our most esteemed moderators first entered the world on October 25 (a good month, I must say, and maybe that's why I like these guys so much ... besides the fact (Elizabeth=="definite woman" && "talented geek") for those of you with long memories)
Queen Elizabeth
Jayant
I believe that Winterdragon also has a birthday today, but it's been ages since I've seen him around... 🙁
Ladies and Gentlemen ... this is cause for a celebratory thread...or the demise of the Echo Lounge will certainly be a good deal closer than it lately seemed....
I shall begin with a song (follow me, after the tune to "the 12 days of Christmas", F Major so we don't have to scream too high), and also contribute the first raise I've had since I started the company to the bar tab, for those of you so inclined ....
Hmmmmm.... (C)
On Elizabeth's birthday I think we all agree ...
There's not a better LARTer than she ...
And though we act like jerks often, we hope that you can tell
You're a swell gal, and our favor and respect is yours as well....
And it's also Jayant's birthday, and though he's often gone,
he's gotta study, so he can't mod, but we like the forums better when he's on...
As we lift a hearty song, and we raise a frosty glass...
So grab a mug, choose you a partner, slide in beside 'em (and I had a line to put here but I'll pass) ...
So on this hallowed Monday, we make a happy sound:
Happy Birthday!!
We hope that it's nice, you're both swell,
Such a lovely pair, and we thank you both for all that you .... do!!
OK, a lil' lame. Wish 'em happy birthdays anyway, and let's make it festive. You try and do better at 2 a.m. 🙁
