a song for mrsquib on his birthday

February 8th, 2008 · 8 Comments

[sung to the tune of I feel Pretty from West Side Story]

You are so nifty
oh so fifty
You are nifty and fifty and grey
And I pity any man who isn’t you tonight

*trala la la-la la la-la la*

You are quinquagenarian
Oh so half centenarian
It’s alarming how much younger I feel
And so pretty that I hardly can believe I’m real

*Bom-bom bom ba-bom bom bom-bom ba bom*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Well that’s not very nice

    Is HIS birthday in February too? That’s seriously, like the 20th person I’ve come across.

    Also, you missed a wonderful opportunity to coin the word “pifty” there.

    Yes indeed, the day before yours. Statistically, since you have 240 friends, you are likely to know at least 20 born in February. Of course I now know two people born in February which is 1 more than I would expect to know given the number of my friends

    *sniff*

    Pifty is NOT a word!

    I have 240 friends?

  • 7 Ben // Feb 14, 2008 at 2:07 am

    It’s not a word because of your shameful failure to coin it.

    ‘I have 240 friends?’

    It wouldn’t surprise me.
