26 today.

Gerbil · 02-24-2002, 10:52 PM

Yup, it's official - I'm old.
Oh well. Guess I'll go see LotR again this week sometime to celebrate!
Is it still on in America? I think it's still like #3 or something over here in the earnings so it's obviously still rocking!

FrodoFriend · 02-24-2002, 10:58 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

LotR no longer showing in my local theater.

Hope you have a nice birthday though!! Would get you a new wheelie-thing, but am broke. Sorry.

galadriel88 · 02-24-2002, 10:59 PM

In some places it's still in theaters. Happy Birthday! And 26 is NOT old! 80 is old, but not 26.

***gdl96*** · 02-24-2002, 11:05 PM

Two birthdays in a row.

Happy birthday!

Gerbil · 02-24-2002, 11:58 PM

In a row?
Seems like every damn year another birthday comes along.

I wish I was born on February the 29th - it would make my life much easier here if I just said I was 6 1/2 - from what I like it's much more likely

Ozymandias · 02-25-2002, 12:03 AM

Happy birthday. I'll join you in May.

Arathorn · 02-25-2002, 12:40 AM

Happy Birthday! (Where's emplynx?)

Evenstar · 02-25-2002, 03:25 AM

Laurelyn · 02-25-2002, 07:11 AM

Happy Birthday!!

emplynx · 02-25-2002, 08:30 AM

*emplynx wanders in and yells, "SHUT UP AND STOP TAKING MY JOB!", then calms down and wishs Gerbil happy birthday. emplynx then cries because LotR: FotR isn't in his local theater.

noldo · 02-25-2002, 10:50 AM

Excuse me... 26 is very old, IMO.

Gerbil · 02-25-2002, 11:05 AM

Yeah but you'll be 26 too one day you know.
For a whole year in fact.
And it only gets worse after that.

You young whippersnappers don't know how lucky you are *mumble groan whinge*

Cheers everyone

***Tessar*** · 02-25-2002, 12:51 PM

HAPPY B-DAY!

wow! galadrial88, thats what I tell everyone!

MasterMothra · 02-25-2002, 07:25 PM

if you think 26 is old , wait till you turn 31.

Arathorn · 02-25-2002, 11:19 PM

Oh no, I think I'll be doing that for the next few months.

Laurelyn · 02-26-2002, 10:57 AM

No, 26 isn't really old . . . btw, your PM mailbox is too full, Gerbil.

Smaug · 02-28-2002, 01:34 AM

When I hit 25, I thought "Oh ****, I'm closer to 30 than 20 now"

One more year and I'll be saying the same thing about 40.

EDIT: I didn't know "cr*p" was a bad word here.

Sorry.

Vinyafalasiel · 02-28-2002, 05:39 AM

belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! you are definitely not old...hope you will enjoy all the LotR books! btw, it's still showing...in Asia that is

Gerbil · 02-28-2002, 08:26 AM

OK - signs of age then people!

Who here is MARRIED or *cough choke* has kids?

Not I!

Young at heart

Pailan · 03-02-2002, 11:42 AM

Happy completed orbit, Gerbil. In answer to your questions: 1. Yep, I am married (actually met my wife on my 26th birthday). 2. Helped raise her two daughters who are now 23 and 21 years old. And this May I will be "the answer to the meaning of life." If you know your Douglas Adams then you know the number.

Cheers to you.
