Oso is FORTY!!!!!

[Judge Pen]

Even though the big 4-0 day isn't until Sunday, I figured we needed a complete weekend to gig him about his age.

Now, I'm just waiting for him to start slowing down....

[David Jamieson]

pfft. punk.

:p

hbd early dude.

[bodhitree]

Happy birthday bear.

[SevenStar]

you beat me to it. I was gonna start a thread that said "lordy, lordy, guess who's forty!"

[Pork Chop]

wow dude, yer old....

i'll be there in 10 years godwilling.

hope it's a good one, involving much flowing of ambrosia and the carnal knowledge of something at least vaguely female by the end of the night.

hbd :)

[TenTigers]

I was there ten years ago. I'm in much better shape now.
Happy Birthday. It only gets better...if you want it to.

[Dale Dugas]

Happy Early Birthday!!!

I turned the big 40 this past June.

Woo hoo!

They say 50 is your Kung Fu pinnacle.

Another ten to go..........

[Iron_Eagle_76]

Happy Birthday Oso,

On my instructor's B-Day we would always hit a gentlemen's club and the beer and lap dances were on us. Hopefully you have a few students like this!:D

[MasterKiller]

JESUS CHRIST!? Ouch.

[PangQuan]

Hbd Old Man!

[Black Jack II]

Gratz man!

[TaichiMantis]

Welcome to the 40something world!:p

[Yao Sing]

HBD dude.

Hmm, still don't want to tangle with him. Let me know when he's, oh, about 57 maybe. Then the sh1t is on! :D

[BruceSteveRoy]

so did you get your aarp membership yet? Happy Early Bday old man. Dont party too hard you might fall and break a hip.

[Oso]

hmpblph....wha?

sorry, napping...

:D




here's the good news...I changed jobs 2 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds!



JP, now's yer chance...I've got a bum foot. ;)

FYI, margaritas are tomorrow at 4pm if you feel like making the drive. I know, you're a poppa now so no worries though wife and kid are welcome.



no lap dances, IE76, unless I can talk the kinda short and stout 'chips?' girl to sit in mine :p

So far the best gift has been a passport....cuz I'm going to Jamaica for Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!! I think the rooms have wireless so I'll be making ya'll all kinds of jealos with real time pics.

Weather permitting we will be renting a pontoon boat on Lake Lure http://www.lakelure.com/ (you know, where 'Dirty Dancing' was filmed) for the afternoon on sunday and just kinda chilling.

Thanks, everyone.

Happy birthday Oso!

Your 40's are the big transition from jokes about joining aarp to writing down the 800 number to join and get those discounts. I met a AARP rep at a party (which is one clue that you're getting old) and was disappointed that I was still too young to join.:D

[Three Harmonies]

Happy B-day brother!
And congrats on Jamaica! I heard there Chinese herbs are very nice down there;):p:D

Cheers
Jake :cool:

[Oso]

i know, too bad I don't smoke it. :(

however, if some happens to fall into a fifth of Bombay Sapphire and no one notices it for a day or so ... :p

[Three Harmonies]

Ha! Sipping on a Saphire Tom Collins as we speak.
I will hoist a cold one for you brother!
Cheers
Jake :cool:

[mickey]

HB Oso,

Do you think you can survive forty punches from each of us?


mickey

[Oso]

not bloody likely...unless I get to use chi blasts for defense ;)

[The Xia]

Happy Big 40! :)

[X_plosion]

Happy Birthday! :)

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

happy birthday dude!

[Oso]

thanks again everyone.

yesterday didn't go as planned...the marina didn't take reservations and buy the time we got there all the boats were gone.

so, went to see Bourne Ultimatum and the new dinner theater place...great movie and a great place.

so, now, we can all forget how old i am

[Judge Pen]

so, now, we can all forget how old i am

Nah, I won't get that forgetful until I'm forty!

[GeneChing]

I just got back from Reggae Rising (http://www.reggaerising.com/). Jamaica, Jamaica. :cool:

[yu shan]

You staying at one of those hedonism resorts down there man? ;) Happy Birthday Matt.

[Oso]

Gene, that looks like a cool festival. Probably lots of hippies though... ;)

yu shan, it's not a hedonism brand resort but it is one of the all inclusive deals and it is a clothing optional beach. :cool: you can believe I will be using the unnofficial Pong Lai motto a lot: "Bring me another Heinekin?!?!" ;)

[GeneChing]

It's the closest thing to Jamaica we have out here.

[Oso]

really? we got lots of wanna be rastas...we call them 'trustafarians' ;)

there is a big ass drum circle every saturday night at one of the downtown parks....easily 100+ drummers every time. kinda cool but I can only handle the patchouli for so long.

[yu shan]

Oso, the all inclusive deals are the absolute best! Lots of good food and abudant alcohol. Nude beach for the toppers, have fun man.

BTW, Kevin will be here Sept. 21-23, can you make it?

[Ming Yue]

:D :o Happy Belated Birthday Oso! :o :D

[SPJ]

"at 40, we have no doubts." confuscious.

[Mr Punch]

Happy belated Matt!

[David Jamieson]

This should probably be put here for posterity:

Ramone 1: I'd just like to say this gig sucks!
Ramone 2: Hey, up yours, Springfield.
Ramone 1: One, two, three, four!
[Abrasive guitar music begins]
Happy Birthday to you! (Happy Birthday!)
Happy Birthday to you! (Happy Birthday!)
Happy Birthday, Burnsey,
Happy Birthday to you!
Ramone 3: Go to hell, you old *******.
[The curtain falls]
Ramone 4: Hey, I think they liked us!

[AJM]

[Sifu Darkfist]

Happy birthday your beer fu is feared throughout the land. we are truly not worthy.

[Oso]

oh and i thought you were younger than me.

I've been getting that lately. I guess I should be glad people don't think I look my age...must be all the clean living ;)
