A funny thing happened this morning...

After a night of interesting dreams, I awoke to find a most curious menagerie gazing at me from the foot of the bed: a hippo, birdie, two ewes. Now I love animals -- don't get me wrong -- but I couldn't get up to pet them because I'm quite modest when it comes to exposed flesh. You see, beneath the sheets I was as naked as I was 10227 days ago.

Although I admit I've seen these animals precisely 27 times before today, they still catch me by surprise each time.

peter, did you get drunk last night and sleep it off in the zoo, again?

"peter, did you get drunk last night and sleep it off in the zoo, again?"
All on your 28th birthday????

Happy b'day, man. Sorry I didn't call... but I do have a prezzie for you!

Happy b-day Peter!

Happy B-day, Peter. Your present should arrive by wednesday at the latest.

No, it's not a Denon 2900.

It's a 5900! We all chipped in and...

ok.

I don't know what it is, and we didn't chip in.

Happy birthday Peter. Um, your post is interesting and it makes me think I'm missing something. . .

Maybe I need to get to bed myself, sans crazy dreams.

Happy birthday, Peter. The 28 years worth of days with 7 leap-year days is clear enough, but unriddle us the animals.

(singing) hippo, birdie, two ewes....hippo, birdie, two ewes....

Quiet Ken - you're gonna make Peter think it's something expensive.

Hippo birdie two ewes,
Hippo birdie two ewes,
Hippo birdie,
Hippo birdie,
Hippo birdie two ewe!

Carefull! Watch those candles!!

Now! Make a wish!!
Rich.

DUH! I completely missed the "birdie" thing. So, a belated, but no less heartfelt,

to you!

All the best, Peter.

Happy birthday, Pete. I guess you had a wild night. I don't have any objection to the birdies and the ewes, but hippos! That's just wrong.

happy mothers da...., oh.. wait..

happy birthday!!!

(i will join the belated list)

Happy Birthday...Belated as it might be.

Happy B'day big P

Gosh to be 28 again, just a faded memory, I just turned 38

Young, smart, charming.

You make me sick.

Happy Birthday anyway, my friend. Cheers!

"Young, smart, charming."

Young and smart maybe, but.........charming?????
Hippo Birdie Peter!

Hippo, birdie, two ewes. . .

Now I get it.

Why did I not catch that before?

Again, Happy Birthday Peter!

Well, I couldn't just come out and say it was my birthday, now, could I? That's conceited.

SURE YOU COULD! Only the folks here who think you're a PITA would think that it's conceited. OOPS! WAIT! That's just about everybody, so maybe you're right.

The birthday boy just got spanked.

Hehe.
Congrats on your 28th Peter.

happy bday Peter you old coot.

all i could think from seeing that first post was "i need to get some of what he's smoking"

"Well, I couldn't just come out and say it was my birthday, now, could I? That's conceited.

"

Ouch, that hurt!

Curse you and your memory. . .

I gave the "birthday sleuths" most of the day to wish me a happy birthday. So when evening came around and there was still no post, I had to take matters into my own hands.

I got cash from my parents and the in-laws, which I used to buy myself a badly needed pair of new hiking boots. I also got a roasting pan from my sister -- very astute of her as I asked to borrow hers about a month ago. There's a mystery gift on its was through the mail from my brother, which should be waiting for me whe I return from Seattle on Wed. And don't forget the TV (from me!) that I got a great deal on last week.

I figure I'll get off easy for my wife's birthday in October. She's already getting a second child, and anything I get her will pale in comparison, so why try....

The old coot just figured it out. I'm a slow learner. Peter, your a class act. I am indeed impressed. I had to beg for birthday wishes, also, but this has to be the most original, creative example I have ever laid eyes on. And I thought you were getting kinky with stuffed animals. Shame one me.

Happy Birthday Peter.

Happy B-Day Peter!

Happy Birthday Peter! And congrats with the 'new addition'! 28? I *think* I remember whenever I was 28, or was that like 33?

I don't about you all but that cake up there of Wid's is scaring the bejeezus out of me.

You'd be doing that crazy dance, too, if hot was was dripping on your head.

What's that? Was Not Was? They did "Walk the Dinosaur" didn't they?

Would you like to borrow my spell checker?

hell, i just thought he had a stutter.

and yeah, that cake is way freaky!

I'll tell you, Peter's certainly gotten a lot of mileage out of his own birthday post. The jab about people not posting about his birthday was particularly interesting--since he didn't post about mine!

I didn't post about mine a couple of weeks ago, but I figured there was no sense in bringing it up unless you were awarded an EP500 or something!

Ummmm.....
Just to double-check: You're not awarded an EP500 or something, are you?

good thinking!!!

I think I got the last one. Thanks for not posting your birthday!
