Couldn't really throw a party on a Tuesday, now could I?

Anyways, thanks for the birthday wishes, I didn't do much on the day, but I realise now that I ought to have been celebrating Skip's birthday.

Galadriel55 · 09-12-2015, 01:49 PM

Happy birthday Legolas and red!

Bêthberry · 09-12-2015, 08:16 PM

Indeed, happy birthday to Legolas and red. Legolas I've seen around but it's been many a years since we've heard from red.

Galadriel55 · 09-13-2015, 07:34 AM

Happy birthday to Urwen and Roa! Have a marvelous day!

Inziladun · 09-16-2015, 06:48 AM

Happy Birthday Nilp!

Pitchwife · 09-16-2015, 08:45 AM

++Happy Birthday Nilp!
(and ++Pitch for dereliction of congratulatory duties since my last post)

Galadriel55 · 09-16-2015, 05:03 PM

Happy birthday to Nilp, Adam, Alice, and any others who might reside behind that keyboard.

(And Pitch beat me to ++ing you

)

Galadriel55 · 09-22-2015, 12:52 PM

Happy birthday to Fordim, who not only shares Bilbo's birthday but this year can also share his grand anniversary!

Galadriel55 · 09-23-2015, 06:08 AM

Happy birthday Thena!

Pitchwife · 09-24-2015, 02:16 PM

Belated happy birthdays to Fordim and Thenamir! It'll be a while until we can celebrate the next eleventy-first here.

Also, belated happy birthdays to Bilbo and Frodo! I admit I completely forgot about Baggins day this year. Does drinking some fine beer and listening to a band of worthy gaffers singing merry songs in the language that inspired Quenya sound like a valid excuse?

Hey, once upon a time Betberry proved bananas canonical. *dramatic music* Nothing is impossible.

Pitchwife · 09-28-2015, 12:53 AM

Happy birthday, Firefoot!

Many happy returns, Firefoot!

A good friend of mine once pointed out that Turin had a knack for treading on every banana skin in sight. Therefore bananas must be canonical. (QED). Although I'd love to read about Bethberry's proof too!

Galadriel55 · 09-28-2015, 06:24 AM

Happy birthday Firefoot! Have a good one!

I like that explanation quite a lot, actually. Bethberry's was more to-the-letter.

The backstory is as follows. Rune was taking part in a Paper Telephone game that Hookbill was modding, and didn't have time to do something that night (sleep? I forget) because he spent it drawing his picture, so when he sent it in he jokingly asked to beat Hook with a banana for him. Not too long after, there was a mini-moot, and Agan brought a banana and beat Hook with it, as she later reported here: http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...postcount=1119. Bethberry's response: http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...postcount=1121.

It's a long story.

Firefoot · 09-28-2015, 08:12 PM

Thanks, all!

Galadriel55 · 09-30-2015, 06:17 AM

Happy birthday, Lal!

Pitchwife · 09-30-2015, 03:03 PM

Seconded! Happy birthday, Lal, and a glorious party!

It's even a bit longer than that. The, um, dare I call it a meme? of hitting Hookbill with a banana dates back to Finlandmoot 2011, when Mac and Rikae's daughter Annika Wereduckling found great delight in doing so, IIRC egged on by at least one parent. See here.

Oh hahahaha!!! I didn't even remember that! (Though I do recall the little Wereduckling learning a nice new word in Finnish that she apparently thought was a synonym for Hook's name). Oh the lore of the Downs!

Galadriel55 · 10-01-2015, 05:26 AM

Happy birthday Mark12_30!

Galadriel55 · 10-03-2015, 10:08 PM

Happy birthday Hook! Have a cake! Have two cakes! Have a whole stack of 'em!

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-04-2015, 06:31 AM

Thanks, Galadriel!

THAT IS TOO MUCH CAKE! NOBODY SHOULD HAVE THIS MUCH POWER!! ... I mean cake...

Pitchwife · 10-04-2015, 09:55 AM

Behold, it is the Cake of Rassilon! Or the Cake of Omega? Anyway, happy birthday, Hookbill! (So tricky, not putting your birth date on facebook, but you can't escape the Downs' birthday tracker and Galadriel55, its keeper!)

Also belated best wishes to Mark 12-30!

Pervinca Took · 10-04-2015, 11:55 AM

Happy birthday, Hookbill!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-04-2015, 03:30 PM

Indeed a very happy birthday to Mr. Goomba!

Lol

That's one benefit of checking in almost daily.

And happy birthday Lindale!

Galadriel55 · 10-09-2015, 05:30 AM

Galadriel55 · 10-13-2015, 08:16 AM

Galadriel55 · 10-21-2015, 06:55 AM

A very happy birthday to Inzil!

As I was looking for a suitable birthday meme, I found I lot of utter junk, seeing as my combination of search words was quite unusual. But this caught my eye, and I hope it gives you a laugh:

Also, happy birthday Pom, wherever you are!

Inziladun · 10-21-2015, 01:43 PM

Thanks, G55. My coffee is in desperate need of that. Gives a new interpretation of a "shot" of espresso.

Pervinca Took · 10-23-2015, 05:09 PM

Happy birthday, Lotrelf!

Galadriel55 · 10-24-2015, 06:20 AM

Seconded! Happy birthday Lotrelf!

Pitchwife · 10-25-2015, 01:07 PM

Once again, belated best wishes to Lindale, Nessa, Rumil, Erendis, Mac, Menel, Inzil, Pom and Lotrelf! Gosh, that's quite a list. I really should check in more often.

Anyway, that coffee-gun of Gal55's inspired me to... guess what... a Werewolf song parody:

You've crushed the resistance before it's begun
Silenced the gifteds who dared to confront
Laying your paws upon all that you rule
Some ordo follows your lead like a mule
You've got all the suspects, you've got all the votes
You've got all the incriminating quotes
As deadline approaches, so does your feast
And nobody sees you're a slobbering beast
Until every last ordo surrenders but one:
You better watch out, 'cause Inzil's got a gun!

Love it. I should claim it as my new theme song.
