Happy Birthday Spryder!

[Ally]

Happy Birthday to Stephen
Whose temper's quite even
You're decrepit and ancient,
I'm surprised you're still breathin'!


Hey you try rhyming with Stephen...
It ain't easy.

Happy Birthday!

Bon anniversaire à Stephen
Toi dont le site est une arène
Apre et méditerranéenne
...j'ouvre une flacon de Maravenne !

Happy Birthday Stephen. From Ally's poem, it sounds like you may have hit some sort of milestone. Not thirty, is it?

Oh dear...oh dear, oh dear....it's only downhill from now on.

Anyway, Happy Birthday.

PS Your tax return is due.

Happy Birthday

Hello Stephen.

A very happy birthday to you.

Although I post very little these days, I'm constantly tuning in to read the posts of others.

In Casebook, you have created a monster, but it's a monster that keeps a great many people occupied and happy.

All the best.

Happy Birthday Stephen!!!!

Happy Birthday Stephen. From Ally's poem, it sounds like you may have hit some sort of milestone. Not thirty, is it?

LOL. If Stephen is just now 30, that would have made him a 16 year old college student when he first started Casebook back in 1996. The Doogie Howser of Ripperology!

Remarkable that for a man so old he's still so....Spry.

Yours truly,

It is in fact the big 3-2. Not a real milestone, other than you know...he's starting to creak.

Happy birthday Stephen!!

From the land of the oarsmen of longships, voices hoarse,
A name is called out with each flying scud that hits the bow,
To a man whose vision and idea is of course,
The reason we sit happily, turning "then" into "now"

A birthday homage is therefore proclaimed,
From long bearded Norse Vikings, with Thor as their guide,
Whose hammer upon anvil, bang out "Stephen!", thus named,
And cry "Happy Birthday!" to celebrate with you this day unified!

best wishes

Phil

I'm not gonna try poetry, and my French is better verbal than written, so I'll just stick with, Happy birthday, Sir, and kudos to you for this awesome resource!

Have a great day, and make Ally do all the chores and rub your feet.
