Thanks, DS!! I can't really believe it, but there it is in print!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Zouave!

Happy B-day!!!

Remember, you aren't getting older,
You're getting longer.

Happy Birthday -- I ain't far behind you!

Happy birthday!!!
Any special plans to celebrate?

I say we cut him in half and count the rings!

Happy Gettingolderday Zouave! Welcome to ther ranks of Dirt .

Next year this time, you will be Older than Dirt.

happy happy, old chappy!

Happy once-a-year-day!

Remember, you're not getting longer,
you're getting older!

Happy birthday!

Drink, drink and be merry; and, you should drink.

Thanks very much to all of you for your well-wishes. And now it's the next day and I don't have to be 50 anymore.

For those (like almost all) of you who aren't here yet. I'm thinking it sucks so far. Take your time.

Everyday you are above ground and sucking air is a plus, it's when the birthdays stop, that sucks.

Enjoy your years, and drink lots of Absinthe.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Getting older sure beats the alternative!

Happy B'day, Zoave!

Belated, but no less heartfelt.
Happy Birthday!

Congrats, old timer!!!!! Hope you had a happy!!!!!!
