He's just a Poe boy....

Once upon a bridge game dreary,
As my eyes got red and bleary
I chanced upon the water cooler,
There to find within its core
Many a quaint and curious
Purveyor of forgotten lore.
But none can hold a candle to him,
Be it birthday or otherwise,
For Ben and posting go together
Quoth the maven, forevermore.


Best wishes, Ben

Happy Birthday Ben! If birthday posts are in proportion to your normal posts, you should get 5 pages of birthday wishes!

I was thinking the same thing (not that I have anything to say). Therefore, in that spirit...

Ben,

I, who we shall assume as agreed to be a person qulified by prior personal experiences and agreements as to the existence of calendar years, do wish (not to be confused with simply hope or trust, but actually an act wherein I mean, at least by my understanding of the concept, a sort of prayer or request to some power, whether it be a higher power, as described by the various theoreticians in this area of higher-power foundational assumption, or perhaps a collective power or some sort of Gaian theory, depending on your preference), that you (also assumed a priori to be equally a person qualified to understand and field, if you will, the concepts aforementioned concerning calendar years, and time in general as agreed between us in our respective perspectives and at our current largely identical rate of speed relative to each others position, as well as concerning the conceptualization of the various alternative theories underlying the concept of the word "wish," as opposed to trusting or hoping, or maybe even simply assuming odds favoring) have a good (not in the moral sense, albeit suggested as perhaps prudent if not in excess, but in the sense of happy/joyous) day (see, infra, reference to concepts of "day" in the time sense, hereoin referencing the alternative agreed calculation based on not the "year" cocept but the "day" concept as scientitically ascertained, and not, in any way, to implicate analysis under the "day" controversy surrounding intelligent design explanations as an
"era" or "epoch," although you may feel free to accept this secondary meaning as endorsed, as I would be willing to acquiesce in such an extended "goodness" wish upon you, that latter alternative simply not being intended as the primary or central focus of this message).
