Not that he'll be awake to see this for a while! But it's not his birth-minute yet - that's not until 10:35 p.m.! Happy, happy birthday, B!

I just figured out his screen name. Many years ago Patty put on her clown suit and took DKW and ElJay trick or treating. Then we took her to the hospital. The real enigma, was he a trick or a treat?

Happy birthday son.

Hey, if we could marry Brian off to kat, we could really bump our family postcount. . .

I wonder how long it'll take your collective postcount to hit 40,000? Enigmatic's over 1,000 already, IIRC. Maybe another year and a half will do it.

Bob, I'm not sure how I feel about coercion. [Wink]

Or, alternatively you to TomDavidson...

Of course, Christy might have something to say about that. [Wink]

Edit: That is you as in ElJay, not you as in twinky.

So either Enig or ElJay, Tom, & Christy would have to convert to LDS for this plan to work?

I think the chances of Enig converting to LDS and the chances of katie converting to Taoism are about the same, ya know?

Hmmm. No, thank you. Sophie is a sweetie, but part of my whole "childless by choice" thing probably includes not marrying into a family with children. [Smile]

.........

As an aside, it's funny how I think about Brian as our baby brother. . . my first reaction to the idea of him getting together with kat is that he'd be much too young for her. When in reality, I'm not sure exactly how old kat is, but if they're not pretty close to the same age I'd guess him a little older.

You guys act as if getting everyone the same religion would do it. In those matches, that might be the easiest step.

Speaking of postcount, dkw's at 6666.

JT, since for me to marry Tom & Christy it would require not just we all change religions but the polygamy laws change and the LDS church go back to allowing it, it's pretty far-fetched regardless, ya know? We're just playin'. [Smile]

Besides, I'm quite happy in my current romantic entanglement. [Big Grin]

JT, the whole thing was a very funny polygamy joke. kat wounldn't marry anyone not LDS, and Tom is already married. "Everybody knows" that mormons can have more than one wife though, so if ElJay, Tom, & Christy all converted it would work. See? Haha. Funny.

In reality, the LDS church doesn't allow polygamy anymore (in this life) and anyway the chance of any of the four people named converting to LDS is approximatly equal to me winning the lottery. Keeping in mind that I don't buy lottery tickets, ever. Which makes the joke even funnier. [Razz]

I know, I was joking too. My point was that those particular personalities, even if everyone involved was single and childless it would make some interesting matches, to say the least.

Maybe I wasn't doing it right.

Brian we're pretty sure has our same sense of humor.

For the potential kat/Brian match, at least, I think religion would be the hardest part. Tom/Christy/me. . . yeah, that's a bit more far-fetched. [Wink]

Is anyone surprised that this particular Hatracker's birthday thread got weird quickly? Or that he was almost born on Halloween?

Yeah, me either.

Why exactly did my birthday thread turn into a discussion of marrying me off? *rereads thread* Oh, right, it's ElJay's fault.

The somewhat related but more important question is how many posts does one need to have before getting the Hatrack Hook-up that seems so popular with all my siblings?

Thank you, everyone, for your kind wishes.
To the immediate family I'll just say that the best birthday thing about being "the baby" is that no matter how old I get I can always reply "But think how old that must make you!"

You know, once you reach a certain age you're married off. Although I hear you brought in a very nice dowry, and really, who couldn't use more sheep?

I like birthday threads. They are so much fun, especially when one is trying to avoid writing a novel for NaNoWriMo.

So, just how old IS enigmatic? From the Jesus pictures, I'm guessing around 32, give or take 5 years.

I think I remember hearing he was less than 30, so 30 at the oldest I'd guess. I'm sure within tht 5 years though.

Yeah, playing it safe is always good. I've mortally offended some people who ask me how old I think they are by being off about 10 years in the wrong direction. I still say it's their own damn fault for asking, but...
