[NSL]

Saw 6 comes out.

Your birthday was also my anniversary with Zack's mom, so I try to ignore it every year.

 

[HBK-aholic]

My birthday is not ignorable.

I think I can safely assume I have outtrumped more people, though it makes me sick inside.

Pearl Harbor, while important, doesn't stack up to mine. A fuckin' High Holy Day (I think, I'd have to ask FTS), Tiffany & Co., and Hendrix' death. Don't get me wrong, Pearl Harbor was very important, and shouldn't be taken lightly, but I like to think ones birthday should be associated with stuff less serious.

 

[NSL]

My birthday is not ignorable.

It is if she's the reason...

X and I share a birthday. We trump everyone.

My birth.

Fuck you for stealing my joke.

I already used your birthday as a joke.

 

[X]

Old G-Mods > new G-Mods

I was a G-Mod before you were even on staff.

Therefore, I win at life. Good day sir.

That is one stacked birthday, bro. Especially the thing about Patrick, and Easter Island.

As far as births for mine, I know Syd Howe, and a few Roman Emperors.

Dewey, how does declaring WWI, assassinations, introduction of the lethal injection, Larry Bird and Pearl Harbour get outrumped by Hendrix's death?

 

[NSL]

I don't know why our birthday attracts the deaths of awesome people though. Cobain, Staley, and Heston are all pretty big losses for the entertainment industry. We did bring in Bette Davis, Gregory Peck, and the original Riddler though...

Dewey, how does declaring WWI, assassinations, introduction of the lethal injection, Larry Bird and Pearl Harbour get outrumped by Hendrix's death?

Hendrix's death personally effects me. That's how.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

So you'd rather listen to the bombs being lowered from the Japanese Zeroes onto American Soil then the news announcer confirming the death of a guitarist?

Don't mean to offend or get preachy here. Sorry if I am.

 

[CH David]

I have some epic births, but other than that I don't have much if anything.

Because WWI was already declared by your birthday. That's only the day the US got involved. It's not like Gavrillo Princip killed the Archduke on your birthday. The war was pretty much over by that point.

Assassinations are a dime a dozen in earlier history. They're not the rarity everybody thinks they are.

Larry Bird didn't change basketball, whereas Hendrix changed music.

Pearl Harbor gets trumped by the First cornerstone of the Capital building being laid by Washington. C'mon, you didn't think I was really suggesting Hendrix buying the farm was the only thing to happen on September 18th, did ya?
