I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Benno! First of the Buffista babies.

And, I think, 4 years old now. Big boy!

Although, don't you think TFormerCBITW qualifies as a Buffista baby? Or was she born before Thread 1/Year Zero? She's, I think, 6 now.

Happy Belated Birthday, Benno!!!

was she born before Thread 1/Year Zero?

Well, the first TT "Buffy" thread started on May 19, 1997, so it's older than TFormerCBITW. Hmm. Maybe we need Gud to be certain of the order of events. Luckily, he's the one with the time machine, as well, so he can change history according to the way he wants it, anyway.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag Benno!!!!!!

(is that correct? I have no idea)

Benno may be Buffista Baby Zero as his pregnancy was the first announced here (iirc) and Fiona was deffinately the first person to post "I'm in labor and on my way to the hospital."

Gosh, here I am checking in for the first time after a couple of days offline, and am all touched that you remembered B's birthday! Thank you, kind people (and Trudy, that was perfektes Deutsch).

It does seem very strange to think that it was already four years ago that I was posting about my waters breaking and heading off to the birth center.

B. seems to have had a fantastic birthday; some friends came around in the afternoon and we had a Treasure! Hunt! and a really nice time. Plus had was given Playmobil knights and dragons and stuff, so it's all good.

How does it translate? Happy Anniversary of your birth?

I'm glad he had such a fun day.

Literally, heart-felt good wishes on your birthday. You got the Umlaut right and everything!

I'm afraid that was the miracle of cutting in pasting. All I can legitimately do in German is order coffee with milk and sugar and thank people warmly.

Well, these are all pretty important things too. Especially coffee.

Speaking of which... I'm off to bed now, so goodnight all.
