Happy Birthday Mr Riffle

OFF TOPIC

Well in honour of our quick tongued, smooth talking and sometimes clever forum maestro, I think we should all reflect and give thanks to Dan Riffle who is 139 today.

He and Claude are going for a lovely candle lit picnic in a local park before they skip amongst the butter cups in gay abandon before Dan has to get home before the missus locks the front door.

Many happy returns Dan and enjoy your day.

Dan; Maybe I should put you over my knee and give you 39 smacks on the behind. You are young enough to still be spanked...yet old enough to pay for it.

There is a riffle in the creek behind the house. Any relation?

Riffle's so old, when he was a kid rainbows were in black and white.

  Dan; You and I share something. In one more year, you will officially be Middle Aged. And in one more year, I will officially not be Middle Aged.
  
  It's like I'm being replaced by a younger, stronger, but less attractive model.

Happy Birthday, Dan.

I won't even try to make a joke about your age because old people who are crying often don't respond well to humor.

  Claude PROBABLY had nothing to do with the cake...on the other hand, the cake IS brown.
  
  Might be safer to tip another beer to celebrate your (somewhat older) Riffletude.

  Is he desperate, me oh my,
  does he eat a large cow pie?
  No he's just an average man
  so he's not that famous Dan.
  
  Can he throw a touchdown pass,
  and not be sacked upon his ass?
  No he's just an average man
  so he's not that famous Dan.
  
  Was he vice-president, epic fail,
  with a surname rhymes with whale?
  No he's just an average man
  so he's not that famous Dan.
  
  Can he act or sing or write,
  did he ghost-bust late at night?
  No he's just an average man
  so he's not that famous Dan.
  
  Does he torment poor old Claude,
  on the Off Topic Forum board?
  Yes he's just that sort of man
  so he IS that famous Dan.

  Just to say Happy Birthday again in your official thread.
  
  I am sad to report that Amazon was out of stock of those 2 dozen, hot and spicy ostrich eggs I was going to get you.
  
  I did not have a third option so chose pot luck and hit the buy button. I don't know what this Anal Doctor device is exactly but it had a lot of 5 star ratings!
  
  Not many Riffle based jokes came to mind (and my Ouija Board is in for repair) but here's one and an update to your sig...
  
  Why does Dan Grow his goatee beard so long?..
  
  Because he's too cheap to buy underpants.
  
  If Claude lay on top of Dan he'd be warm for the rest of his life, about 30 seconds

  If I'd remembered, I would have had my ol' buddy Urb jump out of a cake for ya, and sing;

  And you are welcome for getting James back to the Cavs.

  Yes, happy Birthday Dan, my brother turned 50 yesterday, so l know the extricating torture and unbridled fear you must be having at 139!
  
  But at least you can be happy in knowing that the older you get the closer you will be to being put out of your misery!
  
  Can't say the same for Claude, after he went to the Himilayers, and talked to the 3000 year old monk, (but he doesn't look a day over 1000) who lives in a cave!
  
  And handed him the secret of life!
  
  Also explains his superpowers and interest in Batman, (but that is another story)!

  It's doubly great because Riffle is shaped like a penguin egg.

  Don't worry, it was just another riffle in time. You just have to post a video of yourself singing

  We need to keep quite and not tell Dan that we all stopped having birthdays at his age so next year he'll be older than everyone else.
  
  Have a good one Dan - this is the one that you'll tell people the rest of your life "People told me I had a riot"............
