Happy Birthday, KC

  • random thoughts

Today is my friend Kevin’s birthday.
Kevin hates it when people make a big deal about his birthday, so that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Ha.

    Wait…Kevin’s my brother, and his birthday isn’t until May!
    Oh. Different Kevin.
    Right.
    Happy birthday Kevin!

    God, I can be away from this site for five minutes then suddenly there’s a new entry and a couple of comments! Some people are so rude – how dare you not wait for me?!
    (Happy Birthday, Kevin!)

    A blatant rip off from a classic ~
    “That’s what I like about those high school girls man…. I gets older, they stay the same age.”
    Happy Birthday.

    From experience, people that TELL you they don’t want a big deal made about their birthday are really the ones that secretely wish a big deal… so to contradict him, you should not have mentionned it… this is getting too confusing… Happy Birthday Kevin!

    Where do we send the obscenely expensive gifts?

  9. Courtney says:

    I’ll take the oscenely expensive gifts. ^_^
    There are a lot of Kevins in this world. I’m engaged to one. Most Kevins are slightly off kilter. Must be that funky letter “V’ in their name.

    31 January, 2002 at 12:54 pm

    Happy B-day Kevin.. I know your pain and I’m ignoring it..
    That was very nice Wil… I can’t wait to know people just like you when I’m older *note the sarcasm*

  11. Mandy says:
    31 January, 2002 at 12:55 pm

    Yes, there ARE a lot of Kevins in this world. I married one, and there were at least 4 other Kevins at our wedding.
    There’s something very odd about having to call my husband by his last name when out with a group of friends, just so he’ll know I’m calling him.
    That’s why I like being a Mandy. There are so few of us around. Oh wait… I forgot there were an army of Mandies about the take over this site. Yeah, so be afraid. Be very afraid.
    And happy birthday Kevins!! (I’m sure there must be at least 2 of you reading this page today named Kevin and having a b-day.)

    Happy Birthday Kevin!!!! And way to go Wil for make a big deal of it.

  13. Thumper says:
    31 January, 2002 at 1:10 pm

    Cool! A birthday! Everyone run to the bar for a blue drink (or two or three or four…)
    Happy birthday Kevin!
    It’s 1pm… is that too early to start drinking to celebrate?

  14. tammy says:
    31 January, 2002 at 1:14 pm

    Happy 25th birthday, Kevin! See, I even clicked on that link Wil put up and read your bio. Have a great year, sir.

    Well, wish Kevin a Happy Birthday from me. And remember to tell him how OLD he’s getting. Especially if he’s younger than you. I do that to my friend, kind of irks him. 😉

    Poor Kevin.

  17. Amy says:
    31 January, 2002 at 1:31 pm

    I know how he feels, I turned 27 on the 28th of January. I said… DONT do anything, and the entire weekend before each one of my friends tried to out do the other with surprises. Ending with a dinner at a popular resturaunt where the waitress announced my name and that it was my 21st birthday…. how embarassing.

  18. Jon says:
    31 January, 2002 at 1:47 pm

    Um…is anyone here over 30, or am I out on an island here?
    Gack

  19. Mark says:
    31 January, 2002 at 2:15 pm

    Sure. I just hit 34 on the 28th, but my name’s not Kevin. I do have a cousin Kevin, but he’s rather… normal. Now about that “V” theory… Should I be looking for a Vivian if I’m looking for an intersting date or do the two cancel out?

  20. Mark says:
    31 January, 2002 at 2:18 pm

    Oh yeah.
    Happy Birthday Kevin!

  21. Mark says:
    31 January, 2002 at 2:35 pm

    And you too Amy!
    I’ll shut up now…

  22. Jon says:
    31 January, 2002 at 2:40 pm

    Mark-Thank you, I feel much better now.
    I have a nephew named Kevin….

  23. slugfro says:
    31 January, 2002 at 2:45 pm

    MY BIRTHDAY IS NOT TODAY!!!
    oh wait…I’m not Kevin.
    But I guess it is my un-birthday(and probably a lot of other people’s as well(probably even Wil’s)).

  24. Courtney says:
    31 January, 2002 at 3:00 pm

    A very merry un-birthday to the rest of you monkeys.

  25. JSc says:
    31 January, 2002 at 3:41 pm

    I can’t afford obscenely expensive.
    Can I just send something obscene?

  26. Daisy says:
    31 January, 2002 at 3:43 pm

    Well I was going to wish Kevin a happy birthday in his own guestbook on his site but it wasn’t working *pout* so I’ll do it here instead:
    Happy Birthday Kev!

  27. Thumper says:
    31 January, 2002 at 3:48 pm

    Eh, Jon, I’m 40… Don’t let yourself feel old here… I suspect I’m a real old grunt compared to everyone else.

  28. Jon says:
    31 January, 2002 at 4:23 pm

    Holy crap! You’re 40?!?!?
    Sorry, I just couldn’t resist! I’m kidding. I’m a kidder. : )

  29. bellwether says:
    31 January, 2002 at 4:30 pm

    Hey Jon, I’m thirty five and not counting, but still celebrating, why else but to have cake!
    Happy birthday and enjoy your cake Kevin!
    You are getting cake arn’t you?

    This is completely off topic and I appologize, but this link for a free download of ” A Programmer’s Introduction to PHP 4.0 by Jason Gilmore” was just posted to my LUG’s mailing list and I thought a good number of you would be interested. (BTW its a 5 Mb download in pdf format).

    Jon, please don’t feel out of place – am 40 myself (but of course everyone says I look 34, and of course I believe them, because, hey, wouldn’t you?)
    and to Kevin (whom I do not know but sounds like I would like him):
    Happy birdle turdle toodle yoodle doodle
    Happy birdle turdle toodle yoodle doodle
    Happy birdle turdle dear Kevin
    Happy birdle turdle toodle yoodle doodle
    (Hmmmm… maybe that sounds better sung…)

    Kevin,
    I dont know you and I know you probably get as much of a warm fuzzy feeling from this as when you go to a restaurant and all the waiters and waitresses gather round and sing to you.
    You are the Greatest, Happy Birthday Dude!

    Happy B’Day Kev, though I have no clue on this earth who you are…must be cool…

  40. Brit says:
    31 January, 2002 at 7:35 pm

    Awwww….aren’t you a nice friend! Happy Birthday Kevin! I’ll be sure to celebrate!

  41. Sarah says:
    31 January, 2002 at 7:43 pm

    Happy Birthday Kevin! You’re page doesn’t want ot load, so I don’t know who you are.
    I’m 14.
    So…I guess I’m younger than most likely all of you…

  42. Jon says:
    31 January, 2002 at 8:29 pm

    Duchess, believe me-I certainly don’t feel out of place here! : D
    Old, maybe (particularly after reading Sarah’s post! I remember working on my school’s fall and spring musicals!), but most definitely not out of place. : )
    Show of hands please-is there anyone else but me who measures things in two groups-
    before Star Wars and after Star Wars?
    That would be Episode IV, as it is now called…

    Hippo Bathday?? Wha? Huh?
    Hmmm…my vision must be going…you’ll understand when you get to be my age. And speaking of age, best wishes for your next *quarter of a century*, Kevin!

    Happy birthday Kevin!
    We all love you. And we’re all coming to your birthday party. (Oh, oops … you didn’t know there was one, did you? Sorry if I spoiled the surprise.)

  45. Shayne in Houston, TX says:

    Happy Birthday Kevin! 😀
    Dare we ask how old you are?

  46. sandra says:
    1 February, 2002 at 10:40 am

    I’m…twice as old as sarah plus three years.

    Hey,
    Happy birthday Kevin, you pup.
    To Jon, no, you aren’t the only over 30, I figured I must be one of the oldies here, I am 36! And, as I look outside my office window I am thinking I’d rather have the 25 inches of snow you predicted than the shitty freezing rain, ice and wind we have been getting the past couple of days. Blech. Doing 180’s on 96 isn’t my idea of fun.

  48. Jon says:
    1 February, 2002 at 4:47 pm

    Fenaray,
    What, don’t you like trying to shovel snow that’s been soaked with rain for a few hours, then covered with a layer of ice? I, myself love to chisel through the ice layer only to have my snow blower choke on intensely dense and packed snow!
    And there’s nothing like the feeling of accomplishment you have when you finally clear that crap off, only to see the street snow plow push it all back on the driveway entrance 30 seconds later!
    Are you in Detroit too? (Judging by your comments, particularly about 96)

  49. fenaray says:
    1 February, 2002 at 11:34 pm

    Hey Jon,
    Actually I am in Windsor but travel to Detroit every day for work. Snowblower, eh? I gotta get me one of those. I want one of those automatic car starters too, lol. Thursday morning my car was encased in a layer of snow and ice. That’s always alot of fun. Then I had to pick up enough speed to crash through the snowpile the city plow deposited at the end of my driveway. On my way to a seminar in Novi I got to experience my first spinout on a major highway. I didn’t like it. This weather bites. Stay warm.
