You have 35 minutes within GMT to comply or I'm going to be extra grumpy throughout 2004.
I know a guy at the V.F.W. that every day he says it's his birthday, in hopes some newbie will buy him a beer.
He says it wherever he goes, not just at the V.F.W.
I figured you were just like him.

Arise, Lazarus, you luscious poptart- thought you might like this bit of disreputable history as a late birthday present:
(tol´eme fis´ken) (Ptolemy Physcon) , d. 116 BC, king of ancient Egypt (145-116 BC), of the Macedonian dynasty,
Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (also known as Ptolemy VII Physcon – ‘physcon’ being paunch or fatty or gross) was one of the more morally flexible of the Macedonian dynasty that ruled Egypt- younger brother of Ptolemy VI Philometor and uncle of Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator, he was pharoah of Egypt in the interregnum when his elder brother Philometor fled to Rome. His autocratic rule proved unpopular with the Alexandrians, and they beseeched Philometor to return from his Roman exile.
The two brothers thereupon parcelled out their territory, with Physcon/Paunch ruling Cyreniaca, and Philometor Egypt proper.
On the death of Philometor, Physcon’s nephew assumed the throne, with Physcon’s sister-in-law/sister acting as co-regent.
Physcon married his brother’s widow, mother of the new pharoah, who was also his and his brother’s sister, and murdered his nephew at the wedding feast and assumed command.
Whereupon he repudiated his new wife, and whilst still legally married to her, married her daughter, who was his niece and step-daughter. So his wife and sister-in-law (and sister) also became his mother-in-law, and his niece/step daughter became his wife.
Although a despotic pharoah, he died peacefully enough, leaving the succession to his wives/widows/mother-in-law/sister/sister-in-law/niece/step-daughter to sort out.
