(And no, this isn't a new trend of making people graemlins for their birthday. It just seems that way.)
Thank you.
Friday I was playing tackle football with several of 80 inner city middle school kids that voluntarily enrolled in the summer school where I teach. All day for four weeks they take Math, Science, English and Computers. Isn't it great to know the future is in their good hands?
By tomorrow I'm hoping my legs will feel something other than pain. 46 and counting on many grumpy years to come.
Happy B-Day, Blockade Boy!
Way to take one for education in the football game. Hopefully today will have a bit less tension for you so you can enjoy your day off!
Hey Blockade Boy, happy birthday! Hope you get everything you deserve (and some of what you want even more!)
Happy belated Birthday, Blockade Boy! Or maybe you're still celebrating? Many grumpy returns and at least another 46 to go!
Happy belated B-Day Blockade Boy! To the Legion Worlder who proved that walls really do have ears!
And that's my education
A toast!
To Blockade Boy!
Happy Belated birthday. I hope your legs are feeling better.
Happy Birthday, Blockade Boy...
Now Don't Die!
Happy Birthday BB!
Have a great birthday, Blockade Boy! Parades, fireworks, barbecues, and a guaranteed day off work! Born on the 4th has its high points.
Happy birthday, pal! Dig in!
Happy Birthday and stuff!
Many happy returns, male cretin!

and at least a bit of time with message board friends.
Thanks everyone. My usual for the day: run in the morning and in the evening hop on the boats with my old high school buddy to begin the parade upriver to the downtown fireworks.
My Gramps was born on the 4th. I was his birthday present, back in 1958
My day always started with Gramps calling to wish me Happy Birthday. He passed hmmm seven years ago but the call is still my first thought of the day.
All you Canadians, I hope you've sufficiently recovered.
All you from the States, have a happy, wonderful, and safe July 4th.
All you from England
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGION WORLD!!!
Have a sweet as time watching the parade and fireworks and fun stuff!! And have a really awesome birthday.
(Side note: '58? This might be weird but I think that was the year my mom was born...)
Thanks Caliente
About right, not so wierd. Most of my friends' kids are just in or close to beginning college and my friends with money now have two girlfriends your age.
Also 1958 was the year the Legion of Superheros was born (I'm correct on that ain't I?)
Have a great day...you must have alot of fun having Fireworks every year. Never gets old. (no pun intended)
Have a fantastic day!!
Hey, having the 4'th for your birthday sure beats the heck out of being born on Christmas! I can't think of a better holiday to have it on.
Happy Birthday, BB!
have a great day BB and many happy returns !!
Matthew.
Happy Belated Birthday
Health & Happiness Always!
Happy B-day BB!
Hope it was a great one!
Happy birthday! Did you seen any weird looking fireworks? I was at a show, I think in Boston a couple years back and some fireworks prematurely went off on the fireworks barge that was launching them. Cool...scary, but cool.
Happy Birthday Blockade Boy. Have a wonderful day and enjoy all the fireworks set off in your honor. Next year is the big number though.
Health & Happiness Always!
happy Bday BB!
Happy birthday, BB! Next year's the big one, indeed. Suddenly, I feel young.
Happy Birthday BB!
Happy Birthday, BB!
In the famous words of Frosty the Snowman:
"Happy Birthday!"
For you, on 4th of July, a barbecued cake!
Happy Birthday! Pass the sauce!
Independance at last! Wait wrong thread.
BB
MMmm, BBQed cake!
Thanks Legion World. What a great way to wake up.
Next year maybe I'll regale all with a photo journal I've been keeping depicting the migratory patterns of my body hair.
Lucky you!
Amen, bruddah!
Happy B-day to Double B!
Have a Happy Birthday tomorrow! Another year with lots of fireworks, eh?
Health & Happiness Always!
Ain't it sad how every year means one more candle but lots less hair?
Hope it's a great B'Day for ya, BB!
have a good one, amigo!
Happy Bday BB!
Yeah!
Thanks everyone. Still thinking of Gramps when I wake up and now of my friends at LegionWorld.
Everyone go "awwwwwwww," ... sniffle.
Since I'm now 50 I feel the obligation to pass on wisdom. So for the next year I will do my best not to do anything wise.
Happy 4th everybody, here and abroad.
A broad. I wonder if I can get two 25's for a 50? I'll let you know next year how it goes.
"..born on the Fourth of July..."
All the best!
Still waiting for those bodyhair migration pics you promised...
j/k! Happy Hawaii Day, Big 5-0! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Happy Birthday, B-Boy. Have a great one!
Happy 50th!
Only a true Legion fan would be born the same year!
What's that odd smell in here?
Happy birthday, BB! Those emu eggs sure make a large cake!
Have a good one BB.
Hope it's a good one!
HB BB!
Ah, you were right, BB, July birthday people
are the best!
Here's wishing you a great one!
(Whew!) So many parties, so little time!
I hope everyone still has some room left for
cake . It's more "block" than "blockade," but I thought the question marks on the side might be appropriate.
Happy Birthday, BB!
I can't believe this is the first time I've noticed your birthday was on the 4th! Happy Birthday to a distinguished scholar and gentleman.
(Actually, it's not too surprising my ignorance. Number 1 son was born on the 4th too. Today's his 7th birthday. It's usually days until I recover enough from putting on the party to do things like visit message boards. July 4th is also the birthday of one of grandmothers, now 89 years old.)
Best wishes for a happy birthday!
Health & Happiness Always!
Happy birthday, Blockade Boy!!
I hope your day has been great so far ~ not everyone has most of the country celebrating with them and fireworks and barbaques!
May blessings follow you and your family, all year!
(And thanks for not showing us your hair growth, or lack there of.)
Hair: one of the downsides of birthdays, is the photos.
sigh

and Happy Birthday to little Singlechinner. My Gramps also, who passed some twelve years ago now and I still miss his morning wake-up calls to wish me an HB.
Now I'm happy to share a birthday with this message board Gary and Scott created so to the most human and humane group of people I think I know, cheers and many more.
There's still some time left here so happy b-day!
Sorry I'm late. I was out shopping for a gift and picked up this nifty Russian nuclear submarine for you. Hope you've got a big swimming pool.
Happy birthday!
Have a great birthday and a great Fourth!
Whatever happened to that guy anyway?
Hope you're having fun, BB!
Best wishes for a great birthday!
Health & Happines Always!
Happy Decanting Day, BB! May Our Ford bless you!
Hope you had a great Bday BB!
Happy birthday
!!!
Hope you had a great Birthday!
Happy Day-after-your-Birthday!
(sorry we missed it yesterday.)
Happy Birthday. Fuck Yeah!
Happy B, BB! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
Happy Belated, BB! I hope you had a great one!
Born on the fourth, fireworks and parades guaranteed. Have a great day, BB!
Happy birthday, BB!
And the whole country turns out once again with huge firework displays to honour their own Legion Worlder Blockade Boy!
All trivial, minor events also on the 4th are only too proud to join in this important celebration!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Blockbuster Birthday, Blockade Boy!
Thanks everyone, it was a great day always made even better with a visit to LW. Just got back from the annual trek up river to the fireworks. They were spectacular and of course more importantly it's one of the rare times of the year I see my adopted family.
And of course had to follow with a visit to LW before beddie-by.
Did you know they can make smiley faces with fireworks?
But can they make smiley faces just by visiting LW like you can Blocky? I think not.
See?
