There once was a Legend about a man with power.

My (Babylonian) God!

This one is for the Babylonian God, fable!

May your followers worship you, always!

Happy Birthday.

Crazy Europeans! That's tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Fable! May your lady worship you as befitting your station and your knees not giving out during as befits your maturity.

Let's just say, I completely agree with Ovid, who once wrote so very well, "Ride slowly, slowly, you horses of the night."

He wrote the first and best book on becoming a good lover, and that wonderful sentence reaches down across the ages to show just what joy can be found in something so many human beings are so oddly ashamed of.

In any case, thanks for the kind wishes. I know I've got 4 hours to go before my 55th birthday arrives, but the congrats are welcome, regardless.

Slumming Babylonian god, if you please.

Do a search on Babylonian in this forum, and you're bound to come across references to that joke on several occasions over the years.

And that's for the good birthday wish!

Oscuro Sol, Fiberfar, Philos, Mags, DesR85, thanks.

Shana, do not start rumors. I am no Waverly. I follow the advice of Ovid. I do not follow horses.

A very Happy Birthday to you Fable!

I tried to think of verse or poems I know of that would be appropriate for a birthday, and instead I happened on this which comes from one of my favourite books of poetry, Zen Poems of the Five Mountains

Listening to Snow in the Plum Tree

Snow falls on the plum tree with such a soft sound that
On the other side of the window I can't tell (sitting at midnight
In dark fragrance and sparse shadows on a windless night)
If it's the sound of blossoms or of moonlight

Keijo Shurin, GBZS IV :83

Have a wonderful day Fable

You could even call him a complete Fable if you will,

Happy Birthday Fable!

Could I use a better string of compliments for our birthday boy?

Aye, here's to the overbearing, sandal-wearing, thought-fruit-sharing moderator-turned-Babylonian-god!

Happy Birthday, fable!

Oooops, there are two of these threads! Happy birthday, fable.

fable · Post by **fable** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:35 am

Thanks! I merged the two threads. What power!

Today, I will work, and tonight, with my wife unfortunately 600 or so miles away, I think I will have a couple of drinks and contemplate the yawning disaster that is the world-as-people-have-made-it. I really should have taken up Buck on that offer of omnipresence, but being in two places at once can give you a headache.

Moonbiter · Post by **Moonbiter** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:06 am

Yes, master!

May a mere mortal ask how the day will be celebrated? Is it one of those "total annihilation of a people/species/continent" kind of birthdays, or only a minor "thousand virgins sacrificed" kind of birthday?:laugh: :mischief:

Who needs to annihilate humanity, when the species has done such a wonderful job of justifying to itself its own ongoing misery and destruction?

I'm also opposed to sacrificing virgins. Sacrificing virginity, now, is definitely part of the world agenda.
