Spike-A-Pike Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks guys... I have to admit I'm slightly confused about this birthday. 49. So, this is the last one before the BIG-5-0, right. I thought one of my father's favorite country (I don't know which one) and western songs had the line, "I'm on the backside of 50..." in it. Now, does that apply at 50 years, 1 day - OR - as my wife try's to make me believe, only after you're officially 51? You know how women can cling to 29 for years on end...

Spike-A-Pike Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Well, I was planning on using the 5 gallon "Jerry-can" beer steins I bought at the exchange last month... I heard MO was dropping the boating blood-alcohol levels and I wouldn't want to see you get busted for a F.U.I. (Fishing Under the Influence). Finish the first 5 gallons and if you eat something, maybe a brat or two, we'll just have to see how it's going - Okay??

diemai Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) From me as well : Happy Birthday for your 49th , Spike:yeah: ! Probably the one , for that a man might still accept a "Happy Birthday" , since it might probably be the very end of his youth , the next one he might finally turn mature at last:yes: ! have a great day , all the best , Dieter Edited July 12, 2008 by diemai add of text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUCE!!!! Fear not, for you are still safe at 49. Getting to 50 is a ton of fun (if you do it right) and it's all downhill to the big 60. It is a hell of a ride, so make the very best of it, you only get the one chance. Have a great day and go fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Palmetto Balsa - I blame you for starting ALL THIS; thanks buddy! Nova - Thanks, seems like it was your birthday just last week... Is attempting to account for missing time a common problem for folks of my "advanced age?" Dieter - If mature equals turning gray, I've been mature for a long time... Some day, I may have to grow up. George - If I start to feel like my life is getting too boring, I can stop by and watch flex your melt before you pour - you pyro!! PhilB - I say old chap, is it time for tea and biscuits? Ta. Gene - Thanks. I think we may be in trouble next year when Linda, Debbi, and Jeannie get together for "Bead Fest 2009". Maybe we can sneak off and get some fishing in Mr. "yeah, I've already landed 6... How long do you take to tie on a bait any ways?" It was a great time - thanks for the LESSON.

cadman Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Happy B-day Spike, Sorry I'm late, been out for a few days, and trying to catch up on my mail, and all my TU reading info. Don't feel bad I just turned 50 this year (all right I just let the cat out of the bag for those of you that didn't know my age). I act like 30, I think like 30, but my body feels like (50....55....60...65) Aw hell my body sometimes feels like s:censored:t. But that doesn't stop me. Happy belated birthday, think young and you'll feel young mentally. The hell with the body. They do head transplants now don't they? Old head with all that knowledge and a younger body. Something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishface Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sorry I'm late. I was working all weekend:drool:. Happy Birthday!! Got you a present...here... lol. You're still perpetually 35 to me:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 My Father used to say it best by saying, " I feel like a million and I'm not even fifty..." I'd better enjoy using that one while I can. Dave - Had a darn good one. Ted - The last celeb I heard about Ted Williams was and his head must be spinning in it's cryogenic chamber (isn't that a cheap beer cooler??) fishface - Thanks for the spam (aka: simulated pork meat product - yummy!) It's 49, kiddo... How many 29's in your future. Some people's children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishface Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) When I hit 29 I think I'll just start going backwards . Oh , that's not too far away... Edited July 17, 2008 by Spike-A-Pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
