Sam,

The original phrase in Dutch/Flemish is even stranger than that - make your breast wet, which is vernacular for you'd better get ready. Must be a reference to swimming: dip your hands in the water, and splash some over your body before dipping in.

I'm sure Paul enjoyed this little thread hijacking - my way of wishing him a happy birthday.

Happy birthday Paul !
A milestone year ? Plus hitting 2000 posts ?
50 ain't so bad..ok, it doesn't compare to 20.
May I suggest 1 beverage for each year achieved to start the festivities off.

Congrats
Gary

Paul, happy burpday (well, after the cans of lager, anyway). My boss turned 50 last Friday.
Yo, Bill togo, you turned 50 two months ago, huh? I hit 50 on April 3. I guess that must be pretty close to your birthdate.

To quote Koen -my former bass teacher who turned 53:
if this is midlife crisis they all talk about ...for me it may have been started 20 years ago and could last even more years from now!

Mine was April 9th. Sounds like we have a number of 1955ers and Aries around here. Alembic attracts the geat ones!

Bill, tgo

I won't publish the date, but I too was 50 in early April of this year (it was pretty uneventful).

Much like the stats on the number of postings, I think an age distribution curve would be even more interesting, though of course there is no convenient way to collect that.

I had a birthday this year too - good one, and sorry we missed you, David :-)

Paul - I'm sure the party must have been great, too bad the rest of us couldn't have been there. Maybe you should invite 60 for 60?

I feel great at 50 (all of us truly cool dudes were born in 1955) and hope you have a wonderful birthday and feel the same way. It's funny that I don't feel old (most days) but it does feel strange to remember things from the 60s and hear myself start to say, well I remember in the ..
