Happy Birthday Cees (pronounced Case) and Happy Birthday Dave Lawson! (1 Viewer)

Happy Birthday David!!
(Half my age, youngster!

(Half my age, youngster!

I believe the accepted term is "whippersnapper". Also you're supposed to tell him to stay the hell off your lawn. Get with the program, Cees.
Regards,
Joe
(About a month older than Cees)

 

[Cees Alons]

Can I stay on your lawn, Joseph? (And Lew's too, if you're reading this Lew?)

BTW, I believe RAF's age is between Lew's and yours, Joe.

Get with the program, Cees.

Something about socks I have too, isn't it?

Cees

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

Cees, you'd be more than welcome to stand on my lawn - if I had one. (Condo. Third floor walk-up. Sorry.)
And no, we don't come under the "socks with sandals" rule for another 15 or 20 years.
Later,

And no, we don't come under the "socks with sandals" rule for another 15 or 20 years.

So it's supposed to be: "Hey, you whippersnapper, you! Stay the hell off my lawn, will ye?"

But not: "I happen to have socks that are older than you, damn it!"

[MarkHastings]

Shouldn't we posting in a font size that Cees can read?

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

But not: "I happen to have socks that are older than you, damn it!"

Oh, no. That's quite acceptable at our age. I was just thinking of a different socks cliche. I actually usually use the "underwear" version of that one, it is more graphic somehow. Sometimes I use a variant I heard in a movie not long ago, "I've got regrets older than you."
Regards,
Joe

 

[Mary M S]

I always was partial to that line: "You may be younger and prettier, but I have more insurance."
Mark, where's the rolling on the floor laughing smilie when you need him.
And Happy Birthday!! to you also, David.

I generally substitute "neckties".
Mary: Will this one do?

 

[Cees Alons]

Nobody's hoping that's true more than Cees!

Well, if you guys promise me to resurrect it even in the case I'm no longer around... do it for David Lawson, at least (even if he would no longer be around...).
Oh, well. Thanks everyone. It's really nice!
And another year added for all of us.
Really hope to see you all posting here next year again!
Cees

 

[David Lawson]

would no longer be around...).

I will definitely come back for this thread once I am no longer playing second fiddle in it.
Kidding...I hope we're both around to enjoy it for a long time.

 

[Cees Alons]

So do I, David!
Cees

 

[Mary M S]

This one, Mary?

thats a new one to me. I knew the one where the ball just rolls back & forth across the floor.

True Story, [I swear]
Late last night I'm aimlessly clicking around the forum, load this page, and I swear all I saw was the smilie, - no text.

So I naturally assumed Cee's was letting us know how he felt after a day of celebration.....in other words;
One too many brewski's will have you falling right out of the chair!

 

[Cees Alons]

and I swear all I saw was the smilie

Quite possible. I posted the smilie first (to see if I had it right), then edited in the rest of the text. You must have visited the thread exactly between those two actions.
Your interpretation is quite valid too, of course.

[Gregg Loewen]

this could become a Cees Alons Memorial Thread if stays here for another 30 or so years!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Gregg

 

[Marko Berg]

When I first read Gregg's wish, I thought it said "Happy Birthday Mummy!"

 

[David Lawson]

Bump.

 

[DavidJ]

Happy birthday David!
And you too Cees!

 

[Cees Alons]

Happy Birthday, David (Lawson). You didn't gain one day on me!
And Thanks, David (J)!
Cees
