May it be a debaucherous one!

Happy Birthday, Lard Lad.

Hope it's a good one Lardy!

Thanks, guys...it's gonna be pretty crappy, actually, as I have to close at the grocery store tonight, and then open first thing next morning! Happy effin' birthday from work, eh?

If you really wanna make me happy on my birthday, read my two short stories on page two of "LMB: 80 Page Giant" in the Bits forum, and let me know whatcha think either in "Critics Corner" or via PM! I had a lot of fun with those two stories and would consider your reactions to them to be quite a nice B-day present!

Love ya all!

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

I hope you do find some time soon to celebrate and enjoy yourself!

I hope after work is better for you Lardy.

Health & Happiness Always!

Happy Birthday, Lard-Man!

Yeah!

Party!

Happy Birthday L!

What Cobie said.

Plus eat a lot of cake.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, bro.

Happy birthday to you and your robot! And yes, lots and lots of cake or whatever your preferred poison may be.

Hapy Birthdy it is.

<click> I have been programmed to wish you a happy day of manufacture. <click>

Happy B-Day Lardy!

Have a great one, Lard Lad!

Happy belated b-day!

Aw man, I go away for a break and miss Lardy’s birthday Party.

I know he had one from the fact that the Kitchens empty, the wine cellar is dry and they are still picking up the underwear from the LMBP garden.

Hope you had a great day Anthony.

<click>Actually my date of manafacture is different from the master's birth date. And, of course, being born is quite different from being built. So my processers are a bit confused by how the two of you passed on your well-wishes on to me as well. I fear my programming will never suffice to help me understand sentients very well.<click>

Happy Birthday Lard Lad! I hope you have a great day.

Health & Happiness Always!

Happy Birthday, Lardy.

Happy Birthday!

Given your recent return to living, should this be your birthday or your rebirthday?

Happy either one!

Happy Bday big guy!

This whole weekend, I assume, shall be a plethora of celebration in your honor!

<marquee behavior=alternate>

</marquee>

Happy BDay Lardy, hope its a good one!!!

Now that you're a real person again, you can really party! Have a wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Yo! Lardster!

Hope it was a good one... with lots of strippers!

It was so good Lardy is still sleeping off the effects.

I knew tying him naked to that lamppost covered in honey with a daffodil up his....would turn out a bit much.

Happy Birthday, Lard Lad! Hope we get to read many more of your lardrific adventures this year!

<steps out of character>

Thanks, guys!

Those of you who know me pretty well know that I didn't exactly party down for the ol' BD. I spent a fairly quiet day with the wife and my sons and went out for seafood. I used a little bit of money my mom sent to buy a few Beatles CD's I've long neglected to get since I originally got them on cassette: Rubber Soul, Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour. My wife also bought me the recent remix release of theirs Love (I've already had my favorites--Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road and the white album--for a long, long time). I have an MP3 player like most people, but I still like to buy CDs, play them on a CD player and have them to hold in my hands instead of just buying them as downloads.

The recent musical film Across the Universe reawakened my love for them (though it's never really been that far below the surface). So my new obsession is to get all their albums on CD!

All in all, an enjoyable, relaxing birthday, guys!

<back in character>

Birthday?!?!?! It's my birthday?!?!

(By the way, Quis, how did you know on the 7th that my birthday was about to come up when it doesn't appear at the bottom of the main forum page until the actual day?)

I could say that I am psychic and you need to give me all your money so I can invest if for you.

But the truth is, I just checked the calendar here. Check the upper right hand corner of the screen. It is just after "FAQ" and just before "games". So now there is no excuse for you to forget my birthday

Wishing you the very best on your birthday! (I hope Mrs. Lad is feeling better)

Health & Happiness Always!

Here's to the Lardster!

Half hour early... but, eh... what the heck:

A Very Happy Birthday Lardy!

You give so much to this wonderful online community of ours, I hope you know we all appreciate what you do. Legion World would surely not be what it is without you.

And I'm not just saying that because of the mancrush!

All the best to you this year!

Happy Birthday Lardy!

Best wishes for a year full of joy & brownies!

Happy Decanting Day, LL! May Our Ford bless you!

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

I'm sending lot's of love and blessings flying toward you.
Just don't DUCK when they zero in on you 'cause they're a good thing.

Lot's of smiles, too.


Love ya, big guy,
Candace

They say it was your birthday.... Happy Belated Birthday, Lardy! But it's the weekend, so keep celebrating... any cake left?

Happy Belated Birthday, Lard Lad!

Happy Birthday, Lardy. I echo what Rocky said -- thanks for all you do to help make Legion World so lively.

Happy Bday big guy!

This year you should totally get yourself some more TPB's off that groovy website you showed me (instock.com).

happy bday!!

Happy Birthday Lardy!

Another one?!?! You have one every year for crying out loud.

Enjoy it.

One more year to *gasp* 40!
FORTY!
Four T!
TTTT!

Ah, now it becomes clear why Lardy was in such a rush to make Time Trapper: He wanted to do it while he was still "young"!

You'll always be timeless, Lardy. Happy birthday!

Uh-oh, late but...Happy B-Day L-Lad!

Dang. If the legendary Gladys ain't here, guess it's up to me to bring on the Disco Cupcakes .

Mazel Tov, Lardy. [smooch]

Happy Birthday, Survivor!

Hey? Did I miss it?

Probably didn't save me any cake.

Fine. Happy Birthday anyways.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

It was very low-key but nice. Basically, my wife was still a little sick (as I related in the "Today I (verb)" thread), so I went to see The Watchmen by myself. But I enjoyed it a helluva lot, so don't feel bad for me--I've certainly had worse B-Days!

Luv you all!

Happy Birthday Lardy, hope you're gonna have some fun today.

Happy B-day dude!!!!

Remember one piece of birthday cake has no calories. 2 pieces have double.

Best wishes on your day!

Health & Happiness Always!

Just thinking that Lardi and I (I know that there are others) turned 30 the year we started this whole LMBP thing.

Dude, Happy B-day!

Happy Bday Lardy!

Hope its a great one with the fam.

A Coluan cutie offers you a sweet treat for your birthday!

Happy Birthday Lardi!

Hope it's a great one ... with lots of brownies ...

Criminal... that's what it is, that I must wish you happy birthday without a "Lardy" graemlin...

Well, I'll just have to make do with...


janceLARDeen


Happy Birthday, Big Guy, hope you have a great one!

Happy Birthday, Lardi.

Enjoy it big man!

40 years old? A few years ago, you were teasing me about being older than you. How's it feel to be over the hill?

Happy birthday, Lardi, and thanks for all you contribute to LW.

Hope your having a great b-day!

Happy belated Lardi, hope it was a good one!
Hopefully we get another postathon this week!

<span style="font-size: 18px;">.............................Happy Birthday, Lardi!..................................</span>

Hope it was a nice one, or at least tolerable-- ya crazy kid!

Thanks, guys. The actual birthday kinda sucked because my wife and I had had a stupid tiff all weekend (both our faults). But we got it all together on the 9th and had a nice dinner and family outing. So it all worked out in the end!

Much love to yez all!

Best wishes on your B-day!

Health & Happiness Always!

Happy Bday Lardy!

Happy Birthday again Lardy!!!


LET'S PARTY !!!!

Happy Birhtday

Have a super birthday, Lardy.

I expect to hear about the party in the news! You know, "Police were called in! 300 arrested!"

Health & Happiness Always!

Jeepers! Happy birthday, Lardy! Hope it's a good one. Have a present:

Really bizarre fact that I've never realized until just now:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">You share a birthday with my real life sister!</span></span>

Lardy, Amigo. Many happy, joyous returns on this date for future glad tidings.

Lardy also shares his birthday with Micky Dolenz of The Monkees . . . which may not mean anything to him, except that since Davy Jones just died, we should celebrate the remaining icons of our youth while we can.

So, happy birthday to two icons: Lardy and Micky!

Lardy and Micky...

LICKY!

Happy birthday...aren't you LardLord by now?
;-)

Happy Birthday my friend.

I wish you a very wonderful birthday!

Or LARKY.

*hic*

Happy Birthday, Lardster! Hope it was awesome!

Thanks for all the nice wishes, both here and on FB from many of you!

EGAD! <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Maybe I'm her longlost fraternal twin! </span></span>

Nah, that was an Earth-4 version of me who went evil before ultimately redeeming himself by sacrificing his life to save mine/Lardy's in battle against Sol Invictus! Seriously!

AWESOME micro, Fyutchah!

Happy birthday!

[smooch]

Happy Birthday, Paladin!

The strippers will be here at 10 a.m. I booked them for the whole day.

Happy Birthday, Pal!

Have a Super-Birthday of Space!

Happy Birthday, P. Dinny!

Happy Birthday, Anthony. I hope its a great one.

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

Hope you have a great time, and thanks so much for starting the re-reads thread and for coming up with the idea for the Claremont X-Men re-read.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a good day. Thank you for your support and guidance.

Happy Birthday to my favorite ex!

Happy Birthday Paladin!

Happy Bday big guy!

Happy birthday, Louie!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from your #2!

Have an awesome birthday!!

Happy late birthday! Hope you had a great day!

Belated happy birthmas.

Daffy Lardday.

And that's when Lex Lardy began his war against all authority, and not just the fire department. Except on his birthday, when he takes the time for a special birthday dinner. Duck, of course.

I'm early again! But I'm just so darned excited...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARDY!!!

Let's avoid the rush!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARDY!

Happy Birthday, Lardy. Hope you have wonderful one.

Happy birthday, Lardster!

Many happy returns Lardster!

The Knights of the Galaxy called, looking for a Paladin to join them. I told 'em you were busy 'cause it's your...

BIRTHDAY!

Who needs 'em, when you have LW! Have a great day!

Lots of great history wrapped up in this thread.

Happy Birthday to one of the bestest and brightest.

Happy Birthday PAL!




Keep on rocking ...

Happy Birthday! You're still my favorite ex!

Happy Birthday Lardy! May it be full of love and Laurel Gand thongs!

From one LW GRITSter to another:

Happy birthday, Lardy!

Happy birthday, Lardy!

I'm probably early, but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARDSTER!!!

Happy Happy, Lardy!

Happy Bday Big Guy!

With all this anniversary talk and celebration of LMB memories, it's fitting that the other father of the LMB have his birthday this week.

Y'know, way back in Who Are You, I mentioned I looked like Lyle Norg (which I did for a time), and you're immediate response was basically "doesn't count without the headband". I then lied and said I would wear one...and you said you didn't believe me! Calling me out right then and there, at the beginning of our long, legendary friendship.

I just felt like mentioning that as I move from nostalgic to melancholy to thankful & happy this week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Lardy!
We expect long speeches for the anniversary about the good old days, full of opportunities to take shots and ogle the naked waitstaff

Happy Birthday Lardy!!

Happy Birthday Lardy! You're truly a knight, but you'll always be Lardy to me. May your birthday bring you joy and happiness and another big ass pile of trades to read in the year ahead!

And I think Cobie should wear a headband for the occasion.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Lardy. Hugs and love.



Let's strike up the band and have them play you the Beatles' "Birthday":

Happy birthday, Lardster! Live it up today!

To relieve themselves of a dragon's awful din
The villagers needed a mighty Paladin
They required a knight who wasn't tardy
But instead got saved by a guy called Lardy


Huge Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I hope you are having fun.

Hobbit Feet! Hobbit Feet!
He dun stol'em off mean ole' Pete!

Runs around, flyin' feet,
Been known to run, nekid inna street!

Hobbit Feet! Hobbit Feet!

Happy Buff'day, Lardy!

Not quite sure what's going on here, but you and Pro-D enjoy yourselves, y'hear?

Very cool, Ex. Reminds me of the vintage video game Galaga!

(Of course, I'm not in any way implying that Lardy is an evil insect alien who travels in swarms and must be destroyed by a white and red rocket ship.)

Indeed! Any color rocket ship will do the trick!

Happy birthday, bro!

Happy Birthday, Lardy, from your Number Two!

Happy birthday, Lardy Paladin! I'll never forget Lardy's arc during my reign as leader. It was a lot of excitement!

Anyway, I hope you're having a fabulous time doing whatever you do to celebrate!

I hadn't remembered that 'til you reminded me. Every once in a while, I try to teach the young whippersnapper some fuckin' manners, but it never took! Thank the gods!

I only get to ogle?!?!

Awwwww.....



You should, but the lil' shit won't! :angry:

I forgot to, dammit! Almost every year I forget to play it when I intended to...

(Love ya, Ficque! )

Kinda small, don'tcha think, Deb?

Shakespeare ain't got nothin' on y'all!

Love 'em!!!

A thing of beauty and majesty--just like Galaga!

Thanks, Ex!

That was fun, having Lardy throw himself at you shamelessly, being rebuffed and then dying and all. I hope cali felt some guilt pangs!

Seriously, I think the whole thing worked swimmingly for Lardy's overall arc. He was dealing with grief and guilt and was overcompensating in a big way. I thank you for your help!

Thanks to all for your kind messages, here and on FB (and some on both!). My friends among the LMB are the BEST!!!

You're very welcome, Lardy! Love you lots!

Apparently, this year you have to fight this other Paladin guy ....




... for CAKE!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY PALARDY!

Happy Birthday! We have all missed you. Please enjoy your day.

Happy Birthday, Lardy. This is your special day, so feel free to indulge, indulge, IN-DULGE!

Break lahk ze wend, mon ami! Have ze excellent expulsion day!

^What he said (well, more grammatical perhaps)!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

Happy Birthday, Lardy! Have a great and fun one

And some cake

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Lardy and a big ass pile o' cake!

Thanks for the loverly birthday wishes!

However....



Er...I haven't gone anywhere...have I?

^ Every single time I've checked in here the past couple of weeks (at least once a day), Lardy's been online. That's been unusual...

...but not unpleasant.

Crumbs! Who have we been chatting with all these weeks ?! Impersonators of Paladin. Dopple-dins!

Paladin versus the Legion 'O Lardies... for cake! Only on Legion World.

Against the darkness of the world and it's travail
Was posted a Paladin against defeat
Through terrible ordeals he would prevail
If only Legion World hadn't super glued his feet


Many happy returns Paladin!

Happy birthday pal-lardy!

happy birthday!!!! hope it's festive and lovely

I said it on facebook, and I'll say it here, Happy Birthday to the Poster Formerly Known as Lard Lad!

I'd sing but that would be under the string of Why I Can Never Be A Superhero. The cat loves it. Everyone else goes to the ER!

Belated Happy Birthday to a great guy I feel grateful to call friend.

Luv ye, Lardy.

Happy belated Birthday, Lardy!

My best (overdue) birthday wishes to the man who put the "Nyah Nyah" in Nanners. Or somethin'.

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

Partner: What is that smell...?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PALADIN!

Happy birthday Lardster!!!

Happy birthday, oh Lardy!

Happy Birthday! I cannot thank you enough for your support when I first stated posting here (can you believe almost ten years ago?).

Hope you had a perfect birthday Lardy and all the best for the year ahead!

(Isn't this a national holiday on New Ggrrgg?)

It probably is!

Obviously, you've read my story. Gotta finish it some day...

Happy (belated) birthday, hope it was a grand one!

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

Happy birthday, Pal-ardy!

With all those annoying Star Wars movies on hiatus, we can now surely focus on the inspiration for the Jedi... The Lard Force!

Happy Birthday Paladin!

Happy Birthday! I hope you are enjoying your day.

Happy Birthday, Paladin!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Lardy!

Happy belated birthday, Lardy! Hope you got an even bigger ass pile o' trades to read!

I just hope you got a bigger ass from all the birthday cake you've been eating!

Please come back.

Happy birthday Palardy, you rock!

Happy birthday Paladin!

Many Happy Returns Paladin!

Happy Birthday, Lardy!

That was never a year!

Has the Lard Force sent me forward in time from 2023?

But why?! Is there a disaster I've been sent forward to prevent?

Well, there's a heck of a lot of candles on that boithday cake over there. Bit of a fire risk...

Happy Birthday Paladin!

What!? Another orbit around the sun!


Happy Birthday, my friend!

Happy Birthday Lardy!

Happy happy birthday Lardster!!
