So You Say It's Your Birthday


Well keeping my birthday a low key event has been a real problem. I just wanted to make it just another day. A card from my wife and that's about it. But noooooooooooooo it had to be announced to the world that your pal is having a birthday. First my wife, unbenounced to me, emailed Evil and told her that it was my b-day and to bust my ass. So as I was waiting at the front desk at the YMCA, Evil strolls in with one of her rug rats and starts in about my birthday. I say to myself how did she know it was my birthday, this was before I found out that my wife had emailed her, did she have a file on me compiled in her lair. OK I say to myself, it's funny that she knew, but what the heck. She starts to come at me and I thought she was going to kick me in the nuts, but instead she gives me a big hug and wishes me a happy birthday. After she departs I check for knife wounds and my wallet,but everything is OK.

So I'm home now and I go onto the computer and onto my blog. Well there are comments up the ying yang. First comment was from Evil, old fart was her charming characterization of myself. Next Mary with old timer. Thanks Mary. Then Dede said something really nice and then in a following comment used elder to discribe yours truly. A flip flop that took seconds. And then there was anonymous, the man from down under, where women glow and men plunder, and he writes that golly gee I'm 32 years old and that your pal is twice as old as he is. They forgot the terms like aged, aging, ancient, been around, declining, gray power, hoary, old, olden, retired, tired, venerable,age-old, antediluvian, antiquated, antique, biddy, coot, creaky, elderly, getting on, gone, gray, hag, hairy, moth-eaten, oldie, passé, relic, rusty, senescent, shot, timeworn, worn, age-old, aged, antediluvian, antiquated, antique, archaic, back number, been around, bygone, creak, early, fossil, hoary, obsolete, old goat*, old-fashioned, older, oldie, out-of-date, outmoded, primal, primeval, primordial, relic, remote, superannuated.

These are comments from people that I hope like me.I can't emagin what it would be like if they didn't. I can't wait till next year, I think.

Bilford!
You know what we say down here in Joisey when we refer to your age: "He's older the dirt, mud and sand combined"
Hope you enjoyed the day and liked your card from the bull terriers!
In any case, no matter how old you are, we'll still love you ... keep on moving!

There was a lady who complained to her boyfriend that I teased her and he should be defending her. He responds by telling her that only means I like her.

The next time she saw me, she says: "I remember what it was I miss about you now." What I ask her what that is, she says "F@ck all!".

I'm still laughing.

Hey Willie,
Thanks for your list. I particularly liked the term Old goat. I kind of forgot about that one. That is a really good one. Not that I would ever consider you as an "old goat".......You see Dede I can suck up too.

You look a little "serial killer" in this pic...

lookin' hot old man... i never knew you had that much hair, and it's on the verge of a mullet, i daresay...

Actually, I think Farf's girl had it right, and if that is a picture of Uncle Willie he did look like a serial killer in his salad days.

I think I'll stop being a "knocker".

Love,

The Australian A Nony Mouse.

Hey Austrailian anonymous what the heck is a " Nony Mouse". I looked it up on my Austrailian slang website and I cannot find it.
Also I still have all that hair, only it's in a bag in my closet.

And yes I have eaten a lot of serial.

Uncle Willie,

The reason it is not on the Australian slang website is because it is not Australian slang.

I hope this helps.

So if I wrote "Shazza and Dazza were in a bonza Datto listening to Acca Dacca while on the way to Maccas. They decided to do some circle work but pranged while bustin out a doughie" would this slang site be able to translate?

Willie Y said...

Yes here.

Sharon and Darin were in a nice Datsun listening to AC/DC while on their way to Mickey D's. They decided to do some doughnut with there car but broke while they were doing it.

Not quite, Uncle Willie, but that's pretty close. I'm surprised...
