My gramma’s favorite birthday song for you, dear cc:
Birthdays come but once a year
So we send this message clear
Happy birthday clammy dear
Happy birthday ’til next year
And my li’l brother’s favorite:
(sung to the tune of the Volga Boatman)
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
There’s trouble in the air
People dying everywhere
But Happy Birthday
No snazzy graphics from this html-challenged one, but many warm birthday wishes and hopes that you have a great weekend, Clammyc! Keep up your great work here, I really appreciate your point of view, oh snark-master extraordinaire!
I’ll hang out here with the graphics challenged folks..so you just have to imagine a big yummy gooey cake with all that lovely cholesterol laden frosting and the candles sputtering and dripping so you bite into not only cake and frosting but some chewy candle wax-ah…who could ask for anything more..oh yeah I hope you never ever STFU!
College nickname was The Clam (take off on my last name). The clammyc came up one night after some, um, “mind altering fun” and we were making fun of Marky Mark when someone said “clammyc”.
Clammyc, since I have a frog in my throat today, and it is hard for me to clear it of such, and as much as I would love to sing to you your “happy birthday, I just can’t today. But let it be known, I wish you a very happy birthday and wishing y ou many many more. Lots of hugs and great gifts on this day of a special birth.

Ah yes, the Birthday Dirge. It has many verses:
Now that you’re the age you are,
Your demise cannot be far,
Happy biiiiirth-day. UNNNNH!
Happy biiiiirth-day. UNNNNH!
Just be glad the friends you’ve got
Haven’t found out you-know-what,
Happy biiiiirth-day. UNNNNH!
Happy biiiiirth-day. UNNNNH!
Be glad I don’t have time to sing them all. That’s my birthday present to you. (That, and not bringing the cake.)
ha–I was born at 6:20AM and my mother still calls me every year at 6:20 to sing to me.
In college it was downright mean of her, but now I am up and getting ready to head to the city for work so at least it didn’t wake me…..
A mother’s revenge lol.
Happy B-Day!
yeah, so funny – that mother of mine.
thx for the b-day wishes.
So, I see you come by all that snark honest 😉 Please keep crankin’ it out for us froggies. Happy Birthday, clammyc!
That sounds so…Billy Crystal in City Slickers.
(I do miss Jack Palance…)
Great graphic, CG. I hope the little hoppers have enough wind to blow out those candles after getting so much exercise.
Thanks for your great articles during this past season!
Remember to leave us a few slices, dude. Meanwhile,


dance your ass off!
Happy, happy birthday, Clammyc!!!

Just wondering. Happy Birthday!
I hear he is some loudmouth who shoved his way onto the front page here…..
Are you a clammy myc?
a clammy c?
a cla mmyc?
: )
ahhhh, clammy c.
College nickname was The Clam (take off on my last name). The clammyc came up one night after some, um, “mind altering fun” and we were making fun of Marky Mark when someone said “clammyc”.
Which of course somehow stuck….
Happy Birthday, Clammy. Watch out!! You’re catching up to me.
So that whole thing about getting to the FP because of performance enhancing drugs, that was just a fairytale?
front page? performance enhancing what?
I do not recall…..
It was something that Johnny Gentle said.
no, I remember. I was just playing my best “Ronnie Raygun”.
Which I guess didn’t come out as good as I hoped…..
oh well…
what a nice surprise to see this on the FP here at the pond.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words and wishes.
You have all just brought a HUGE smile to my face!!!
I will say that since I have been posting here, you have all made me feel so welcome, even when telling me how full of it I am 😉
Thanks again to each and every one of you.
Hugs and kisses all around – shhhhh, don’t tell the missus 😉
Hope you have a great day!
On living to fight (and love) another year.
thx dude–
As I said to someone in my office earlier today, now I am part of the “36-44” bracket as opposed to the “26-35” bracket.
AND I am no longer New England since I moved to NJ and became “Mid Atlantic”.

I’d like to add my wished for a great day and a great year.
