*faints at the very idea of another birthday every time someone cleans up their page a bit*

Not to worry - I won't be cleaning up my page any time soon - I rather like that cluttered page look!

Phew, that's a relief. I'm aging fast enough as it is.

Evangeline, I'm not really trying to make you age faster. I just want more chances to celebrate your birthday. Wait, maybe there's a way to do it. We'll just keep running reruns of the birthday you just celebrated. Yes, that's it! It's like an extension of your birthday, not a new birthday. I am so clever!

Paul,
If I understand your cunning plan, I'll just be ** each time.

<Notices AW's sign at the top of the thread.







No singing of the Austrian National Anthem? What kind of is that? Wait, do you mean the *old* Austrian anthem, the one by Haydn,
which started ]



Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser....


or the *new* Austrian anthem, which was adapted from a Mozart Masonic drinking song?

*checks sign at top of page, notes that it says "Australian" national anthem, not "Austrian" national anthem, sniggers , and goes back to lurking furtively*

*doesn't see the sign*

The top of *this* page, Lady S. - the thread intro field...

*looks for a table to share with my horse*

In Goo w/frames, it doesn't say anything the least bit unusual...


"This is the Message Center for Avenging Washcloth"

To the left, LED's. To the right, "Australian sunlight".




None of that looks a thing like national anthems to me...


*sigh*

I suppose it only shows up without frames or worse yet, in that horrible Brunel skin...

Fair Australia, we to thee from sea to sea
Pledge loyalty, Incipiently.
Your deserts wide and deeply dried
Make all our hearts swell up inside.
Your lakes of blue, so sparking too,
With dingo and with kangaroo.
May you be blessed, for you're the best,
From North to South to east to West.

I like WTF's version better.

What is all this lurking furtively and furking lurtive stuff, people?! And what part of "Please do not sing the Australian National Anthem loudly" do you not understand?!

I've heard it at least three times today! Rules! We've got rules here! Mind the house rules, will ya? I can't run this here saloon establishment without them.

Eck! Clean up after your horses, people. We're serving food back in the poker room.

Now, everybody have fun! I demand it.



s all around!!

We could play 'Make the adorable baby and see if she'll figure out how to on the exhale'

Or am I the only one far gone enough for that to be my favorite?

Good anthem, WTF. I'll see if I can get the Australian Federal Parliament to accept it as our new anthem.

Our current one is pretty good, though. I particularly like the line "Our home is girt by sea". Girt, of course, means encircled or surrounded (I know, I looked it up in a dictionary). The police will soon be using this terrific word.



Come on out, we've got you girt!!!

*has fun*
