It's not quite a moonbear party but I tried

:smile: That's great! It looks like the party crowd got pretty banged up with the full weekend of partying. :smile: I think they just need a short nap to recharge. Good thing it's still a few hours until Chroot's actual birthday begins.
 
So chroot.. is it Kroot or ch-root?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WARREN!

I don't suppose there's anything wrong with a pre-birthday thread. I just hope no one starts a spate of Afterbirth-Day threads.

Hi Warren,
In the midst of the fanfare, just a simple birthday wish from me: In the coming year I wish you many fun times with your friends and family. Enjoy your birthday!

How'd you find all of those, I LOOKED EVERYWHERE! :eek:

You can borrow mine if you're in need. :smile: I stole them from Tom Mattson anyway, at least I think this crowd came from his parties. I've found a few other sites since then.

Tom Mattson was the original party guy, but Moonbear, you have outdone us all. That is the party to end all parties! http://carboninside.com/praise.gif

Hey, I like that bowing smiley. :biggrin: :smile: I can't take too much credit. Afterall, when they heard it was your birthday, they nearly broke down the door to get in. And with Chroot's birthday right after that, well, most of them just decided to hang around and keep going. They'll probably stay until the free beer runs out. :-p
