Happy Birthday?
I understand the Irish like to pronounce 33 and 1/3 thusly:
"Dirty Tree and a Turd"
But it's still a good age I'm sure (though not for Jesus or Big Alex...)

Patrick Roy...one of the reasons the Wings had to stomp the AV's 33 times before they died.
I don't really like hockey, or any sport, but I did follow that series for a couple of years.
Happy Birthday Ben! Old manhood is now yours because teenagers will never look at you the same.

For me it sounds like converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit: Double and add thirty-three (roughly).
Exactly my age, but I don't want to think about that.

Happy Birthday. I guess this makes you a Gemini?
Perhaps you should have another birthday post when you are 33 and a third years of age.
Any excuse for a party.

TWM: yikes, how will they look at me, i wonder.
Ivan: you're one sprightly 99, my friend.
XD: the one-third century mark eh? sounds like reason to celebrate. that'll also be my grandma's birthday.

Though hockey is slightly embedded in my blood, I didn't know Mr. Roy has Tourettes. Happy belated birthday!
