Happy Birthday to The Man! - Biggles - 05-17-2005
fpw Wrote:Thanks all. Starting one's 60th year is...I don't know what the hell it is. I don't feel 59.
But anyway, thanks for the good wishes.
Just do what I do: subtract 30 from your age. In my case, I decided to calculate my age in base 25, which would be 20! That makes you....29! But seriously, you take better care of yourself than I do (although that doesn't say much), so I figure you'll outlive me. Besides, you don't look 59 either. I think the secret to long life is a great wife and great kids. On that score I think you and I have both been blessed.
On a more somber note: Only one year until...gasp...TEOTWAWKI! :eek:

Paul,
Happy happy birthday!
I'd like to take a moment and thank you. You've made a great difference in my life, through your books and through this website, each providing countless hours of enjoyment and escape.
Additionally, because you are who you are, and you write as you do and you act as you do, you've attracted a really wonderful group of people to this board, several of whom I've been lucky enough to meet and play with. For heaven's sake, I've met great playmates because of you, F. Paul Wilson!
You deserve a fabulous day and a fabulous year, Paul. May all your dreams (not nightmares!) come true. Although, given the fact that you turned a nightmare into the fabulous rooftop Mother Rakoshi vs RJ battle, maybe having your nightmares come true is not such a bad thing after all.
Best wishes,
Maggers

Happy birthday. Wanted to thank you for your wonderful books that have got me through college. Thank you for giving us with great community that we can come to. And just thank you for being you and being here. Have a great year! (I didn’t mean to rhyme
)

You know what your saying Biggles? If Paul outlives you, that means he publishes more than you can collect! Your not gonna let a challange like that pass are you?

Now that's sadistic. But funny.

You mean I can't collect in the afterlife? :confused:

You can still collect in the "other place" but they'll all be second printing, ex-lib copies with forged signatures.

and they're unproofed, missing the last chapters...
This has got me thinking of the Far Side versions of hell. My personal favorite is the one with the maestro being led into the roomful of banjo players.
