TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY (DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH)

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Today is Kathleen’s 40th birthday. It’s not her 39th, nor her 41st or 42nd. And 43rd is right out.

  2. Felix Dies Natilis!

    (Always love signing birthday cards in Latin… never fails to get the “Felix dies huh?” response.) 🙂

  4. Birthy Hapday to you, Kathleen!

    Apart from shining a bright light on you for strangers to comment on, I hope that PAD is going to do something special for you (and knowing PAD as I don’t, I’m sure it’ll be unbelievable!) (no pressure)

  5. Many happy returns to her! Y’know, buying comics has been nearly as much fun since you stole her away from us, Peter. Not that I blame you for an instant!

  8. Happy birthday, Kath. Here’s hoping Caroline’s first birthday present to you isn’t the same one she’s been giving you the past 9 months.

  13. In the immortal words of Sandra Boynton, “Hippo birdie two ewes.” Have a splendiferous day.

    As for the sin of revealing the “four-oh” number, we might take two alternate directions: (a) “See? We’ve survived forty years of the gantlet. In your face, jocko.” (b) Despite television executives’ bizarre concepts of the “holiness” of the early twenties, from my own vantage point I’ll tell you this lady is still wondrously young. Lots more triumphs to come.

    HBTY, Kathleen. And enjoy the many more.

    Cheers.

  14. People who have birthday in September aren’t just great??

    I sincerely wish a Happy Birthday for Kathleem.

  15. Congrats, Kath. If you decide to get stinkin’ plastered, make sure you invite me over. I turned 31 just two weeks ago. 🙂

    But what does the statement, “And 43rd is right out” mean?

  16. Luigi,

    It is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. During the vorpal bunny scene, Arthur and the knights are forced to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. They first consult the Book of Armaments for the instructions on how to use it.

    “…4 shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. 5 is right out. When 3 being the third number be reached, lobbeth the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch at thy foe, who being naught in my sight, shall snuffeth.”

    Or something close to that.

    P.S. I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition…

  17. Happy birthday Kathleen…and ironically enough, given the day, your name, and Peter’s previous Xena references with regards to you that it was announced that Lucy Lawless has joined the cast of the new Tarzan show as Tarzan’s Aunt Kathleen.

    (No, I’m not making this up)

  18. **Felix Dies Natilis!

    (Always love signing birthday cards in Latin… **

    Or as I prefer…

    utinam bonam diem natalis habeas!

  24. Not knowing how you religious group regards birthdays, I’ll use the generic, ploitically correct greeting I starting using a few years back:

    “Happy whatever-the-hëll-you-freaks-celebrate!”

    🙂

    Happy Birthday

  26. My mother’s name is Kathleen as well. 🙂 Congrats on another year, and I hope this is a good one for you.

    Btw, PAD, United Fan Con just got a Buffy/Angel guest. Granted, the Dr Who lineup is far better and worth the trip up to see. 🙂

  28. Brian: P.S. I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition… NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

  30. To Kathleen:

    It’s your birthday,

    Yes it is!

    It’s your birthday,

    Yes it is!

    It’s your birthday,

    Yes it is!

    It’s your birthday,

    Yes it is!

    I wrote that one myself!

  32. Thank you everyone for your kind birthday wishes. It was a nice mellow day. I slept in (anyone who has young kids knows how much of a luxury that is), saw “Pirates of the Caribbean” again, went bowling, and had a lovely dinner at a restaurant that we frequent (they adore Caroline).

    As to the individual who asked about the pregnancy. I had no problems except some high blood pressure towards the end. In fact I can out of having a child weighing less than before I was pregnant.

  33. Happy Day After Your Birthday, Kathleen. I lost weight with my first baby as well. But I made up for it with the next two. So, be prepared!

  35. many apologies for the lateness of this email, but i was on holiday last week (vacation for all the americans) so have only just seen the latest additions to the net.

    Congrats to Kathleen and happy birthday. Life begins at 40 and all that.

    Love the Python remark, not many people seem to have a high regard for the excellence that they brought to comedy. I wonder how many people got the ‘african / european swallow’ line in TNG novel Doomsday World. —Veer off, new tangent, … in the forward to that book, you said you had regular picnics in the park and were planning to do another collaberation novel. Any chance of it actually happening ???
