I turned 21 today. I hope I'll remember tonights celebrations for a while... but I doubt it.

Happy birthday my friend

Have a good one.

Congrats!

And don't drink too much, it might help you remember...

Happy Birthday

Happy .. um .. birthday

Happy birthday SabreTrout.

The reason why we forget things is becuase they are too good to remember, if we remembered them, we would be in a constant state of bliss.

Happy day of birth to you.

Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday! You get to legally drink now, right? Don't get too wasted .

Happy Birthday I wish I was 21..

Why do you want that? Enjoy your time while ur young dude

Legal drinking age here in the USA

Yay, happy birthday.

*gets cake

Whee

Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you...
Haapy birthday to you...
Happy birthday dear SabreTrout...


I wish I was 21... wait I'm 23 so I am already old enough to drink in the US... mind you the age is 18 here in NZ, so I past that hurdle 5 years ago. The only minimium age hurdle I have to pass now is the one for Superannuation.

As long as you don't wake up in a weird country where everyone speaks switzerland, all's well.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Mr. Sabre.

Happy birthday. Make sure you coerce as many free drinks out of as many people as possible.

Little do we know it, but his evil twin SwordFish is going to use this opportunity to eliminate SabreTrout.

Yes that is a bad D-Mod idea and no you cant use it...I'm might use it to parody him someday.

Sincerely,

Happy Belated Birthday, Sabredude!

*oops* I'm a bit late but Happy Birthday Sabre!

Yeah, um, what Carrie said

Yeah. Well, you're probably regained your senses by now, so you'll actually be coming to the board to read your congrats, so in that sense.. I might not be that late..
Happy Birthday

A very belated happy birthday little fish...
Oh, and Draconic Dink... You're 23???? I assumed you were younger... hmmmm....
Hope the celebrations went well SabreTrout

Ummm, Ice... why did you assume I was younger? I'm only asking cos I'm curious and wondering.

Oh, and thanks for thinking that btw.

Why? I don't know... you just sound younger... the way you string your words together and how you react to certain things... its not a bad thing, I just didn't realise you were in your twenties.

Hell I'm almost halfway to 24! So you were quite a bit wrong to assume I wasn't in my twenties.

DraconicDink: I think she's talking about replies like that.

What? That makes no sense at all! it's irrational! What justification can there be for that sort of comment to indicate youth?

EDIT: Point of clarification: it wasn't intended in a childish way. It was meant as a simple statement of fact, which is something done by people of all ages.

Why am I always soooo late. Late or not happy birthday, even if I didnt notice this thread

"What? That makes no sense at all! it's irrational!"

You almost sound like you're mocking yourself.

I don't know what to say except... a few of you are very much on the ball. Figuratively speaking of course.

But people of different ages "string their words together" in different ways, when two different ways of stringing words together can still depict the same truth.

Compare (very silly example, just for the example), if a dog is cute:

"What a cute dog!"

to

"Squeeeee! Cute doggie!!"

Quite the difference in wording, but the same truth.

true, but I don't string my word together in a way that indicates youth. In fact if anything I'm quite careful about the way I string them together, which is more indicative of people older than me even. It's also indicative of those that do a lot of writing. And as some of you know I want to be an author. So I do indeed do a lof of writing.

In short, when I say something it has an exact meaning, due to me choosing my wording carefully. A more exact meaning than that of most people.

You might write a lof, but you surely don't type a lot. And that when you write, you wouldn't write "So I do indeed do ...", because if it isn't gramatically wrong, it's just bad style (double do...). Also you should start your sentences with a capital letter, much unlike "true, but I don't ..." in this post.

Bleh, just messing with you, but you were asking how "that sort of comment could indicate youth" 'that sort of comment' being "Hell I'm almost halfway to 24! So you were quite a bit wrong to assume I wasn't in my twenties.".
I mean... what is 'quite a bit wrong'? If you had said "You were quite wrong", or "you were a bit wrong" (or just "you were wrong"), I could see a clear (difference in) meaning. The first means that 'you' (as in the sentence) was more wrong than just plainly "wrong", and the second means that it's not much of a difference. But 'quite a bit wrong'... sorry, I can't place that.

But then it might have to do with my limited knowledge of English.
