Wow! Thanks everyone! :)

That's some interesting historical trivia, Malte; I never knew that.

I'll be celebrating my 21st star day by visiting the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (which means I'll probably be gone most of the day :p). But I promise you all that I'll be back tonight to thank anyone else who might happen to post in this thread.

BTW, I just updated my signature and added a member title. It's not much, but whaddya think?

Happy birthday dude!  Now you can no longer complain that your old enough to go to war but not to have a drink (a very screwed up fact of life).  To keep with Malte's theme 6 years ago today the U.S. government officially admitted the existence of Area 51.

I've actually never been interested in doing either of those things. :p I'll probably try an alcoholic beverage one of these days, but I'm in no rush to exploit this new privilege. In any event, I don't expect that my taste buds will take too kindly to alcohol (they never did with coffee); my beverages of choice have always tended towards the sweet end of the flavor spectrum. (Then again, my predictions tend to be wrong about 50% of the time. :P: I just hope I don't end up liking regular beer as much as I do root beer, or I'll be in trouble.)

Thank you all again for your star day wishes. :)

Schnappszahl…I’m guessing that refers to a number with two or more digits in which all the digits are the same? Thanks! I’m going to go around today telling people that it's my second schnappszahl. :p

And Caustizer, I’ve seen that the next chapter of Far Away Home is up. I haven’t read it yet, because I consider it an extra-special gift that I want to save for later, when I know I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it. Again, thank you immensely! :smile

It was raining this morning, so I was afraid that my siblings ad I wouldn’t be able to go out today; however, things are drying up now, so we might take a trip to the zoo today. This evening, after my parents get home, we’ll go out to a restaurant and then back home for ice cream cake. :birthday I’ll provide an update (and personal thanks to any other star day well-wishers who might have since posted) later. ;)

Chiletrek, Amy, Blitz, pokeplayer, Serris, and inlerah: thank you all! :D

My birthday started off somewhat inauspiciously; the rain returned as we left for the zoo, and then we had problems getting there due to our normal route there being blocked in several places by road construction, and accidentally missing our exit on the freeway. However, we did eventually get there, and after that, the day was fantastic. :smile The animals weren’t any more active than usual (in fact, many of them were hiding, or only came out into the open for brief periods), but we were all in such high spirits that I guess we didn’t care that much. After that, we had an excellent dinner at Red Lobster, then picked up the ice cream cake and headed home, where I received a surprisingly large number of gifts. :o I was also ecstatic when I found out that a book I had ordered some time ago had recently arrived in the mail (Having originally tried to order it in December, it was really a seven-month-late Christmas present). It’s called New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs, and its subject, of course, is the threehorns and their relatives. :smile My actual birthday presents included some fantastic rocks (among them a picture jasper, oco geode, an ammonite slab, and a slice of dinosaur bone), a few wildlife books, and a Three Stooges DVD collection. :DD After that we had the cake.

And as I promised Malte, I took every opportunity to tell people that it was my second “schnappszahl” birthday. :smile I even had the people at Dairy Queen put “Happy 2nd Schnappszahl, (my name)” on the ice cream cake. :p

As a matter of fact, my family and I are about to head off to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and afterwards we will be visiting the Shark Reef Aquarium. By the time we're all done, it will probably be past midnight in my normal time zone, so I wanted to be able to make at least one brief post in my own star day thread on my actual star day. So thank you again for all your star day greetings, and remember, I'll be back later! ;)

And for all of you who were late, there’s nothing to apologize for. :) You could be a week lateóno, a month late (I’ve done worse myself)óand I’d still appreciate your well-wishing immensely. (Besides, you’re talking to the most infamously unpunctual poster on the GOF; :p how much of a hypocrite would I be if I didn’t tolerate belated posts?)

Thank you again, everyone. :) Really, you have no idea how much your star day greetings mean to me. They make me feel like I’m worth somethingóeach message is like a puff from a pair of bellows onto a flame representing my self-esteemówhich is honestly the best gift you can give me. :^.^:

Oh dear, I have several names now! :lol Whoop, looks like my real name is out, too. :! Ah, I don't care anymore. :p

I'm happy to say that I had a fantastic birthday. One of my brothers who's taking an internship out of state sent me a wonderful hand-drawn card, which we retrieved from the mailbox just as he was talking to us on the phone. For dinner we cooked marinated chicken and watermelon on the grill (I'd seen a magazine article about "things you didn't know you could grill" and was curious to try it :P:). I got some wonderful gifts, including Season 7 of MythBusters on DVD and a complete set (150 count) of Prismacolor colored pencils (so the next time I do artwork, I'll have the entire rainbow and then some at my disposal :D). The cake was Duncan Hines triple chocolate with triple chocolate fudge chip frosting offset with vanilla ice cream (that much chocolate on its own is almost too much to handle!), and blew out all twenty-four candles in one breath, embers and all. :D Finally my youngest brother and I went to see Ice Age: Continental Drift (which was epic). And tomorrow we're driving out to Nevis, Minnesota to tour an emu ranch, which I'm very excited for. So yes, it was a good birthday. :DD

Thanks again for remembering my star day, everyone. :)

Sincerely,

Pangaea (or whatever you prefer to call me :p)

No worries. :smile You were one day late in wishing me a happy star day. I'm three days late in responding to my own star day thread! :oops

And now, my birthday story:

After a somewhat rushed (but very tasty) breakfast of blueberry pancakes, we went to the movie theater to watch Monsters University (I had actually seen it already, but my mom wanted to see it and my siblings and I were happy for an excuse to watch it a second time :p). Afterwards we went out for "sunch" (combination supper and lunch) at a local restaurant, where I had what I daresay was the best turkey burger I'd ever eaten. Incredibly, our waitress turned out to be a previously unknown cousin of ours (my dad's aunt's great-granddaughter, which I think makes her my second cousin once removed); none of us knew until she saw our name on the bill, which prompted her to ask if we were the same relatives her family used to tell her about. So that was an interesting surprise (It also wouldn't have happened if the restaurant that had been my first choice for sunch on my birthday hadn't been closed on Sunday).

Shortly after returning home, I was presented with a modest stack of birthday gifts (We all considered my bat workshop and trip to Bracken Cave to be essentially early birthday gifts in themselves, so our budget was lower than usual, which I was perfectly okay with :angel). Among them were a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card ("It will take much less time to spend it than it did to accrue those 25 years," my mom joked); two DVDs: David Attenborough's Life Stories and The Best of Whose Line Is It Anyway?; a hummingbird feeder (which came as a complete surprise; I had never even asked about getting one); the new book Pterosaurs: Natural History, Evolution, Anatomy by Mark Witton, arguably the best reference guide to pterosaurs ever written; and three brilliant cards from my artistically talented younger siblings. (My youngest brother had so many ideas for character pictures that he made me two cards, both of which were absolutely hilarious and adorable :lol). Finally, late that evening we had a delicious homemade Denver chocolate sheet cake with triple chocolate fudge chip frosting, which my brother had decorated with gel icing bats. So yes, it was a wonderful birthday. :^.^:

(I you're wondering, I'll answer your question in my "ask me" topic when I can. I just don't have much time for making long posts.)
Title: Happy Starday, Pangaea!
Post by: Pangaea on July 16, 2014, 11:02:13 AM
Aww, thank you all so much! :DD Really, it means a lot to me that you thought to wish me a happy birthday. :^.^:

My youngest brother and our cat Sasquatch are the only members of my family at home right now, and my brother had a summer art class that would keep him away for the morning, so I spent the first half of the day at the local aquarium, where I volunteer as an exhibit interpreter, where I could both enjoy myself sharing facts about the animals on exhibit, and receive birthday greetings from my friends on the aquarium staff. Oh, and in honor of the occasion and the setting, I spent the whole time wearing a lobster on my head :lol (a plush hat I had bought as a souvenir in Boston once), which was in turn wearing a dinosaur party hat I had dug out of a cupboard (an unused leftover from a dinosaur-themed party our family had held years ago). I received a great many amused grins and strange looks from visitors, and the aquarium staff loved it. Upon telling my supervisor my plans for the day, and informing her that I had not yet decided which local restaurant to visit for my birthday sunch (supper/lunch), she made the perfect recommendation: Red Lobster. I was, of course, bamboozled that I had not thought of that myself (especially after one or two other staff members later made the same suggestion). So after my brother came to meet up with me after finishing his class, that's where we went, the lobster hat (and its hat) still on my head. We had an excellent meal, made even better by the fact that literally everyone we met who was working at the restaurant that day completely loved the hat. My brother and I had planned to hit the nearby movie theater to (re)watch How To Train Your Dragon 2, but our lunch ran a bit long, so we just headed straight home, where we baked a triple-layer dark chocolate fudge cake with chocolate frosting and toasted marshmallow inter-layer filling (modified from a recipe I had found online). Due to the complexity of the recipe and the fact that I took a nap that afternoon due to being incredibly tired, we didn't get around to lighting candles and eating the cake until about 9 PM. Our mom and sister (each of whom had also called earlier to wish me a happy birthday) joined us via speakerphone to sing "Happy Birthday" (the most off-key rendition I think ever heard in our family, :p due to all three participating singers being in separate parts of the U.S. and thus having difficulty keeping their voices synchronized). The cake was very tasty, though I don't think the chocolate was quite rich enough to match the sweetness of the marshmallow filling. Afterwards, my brother gave me a spectacular hand-drawn birthday card, and I responded to e-mails sent from the respective iPhones of my dad and older younger brother (both of whom are in China right now and could therefore not communicate by other means).

Again, thank you, rhombus, bushwhacked, Ducky123, Kor, Chiletrek, Iris, jansenov, Malte, vonboy, and Chronicler, for the star day greetings. I really appreciate it. :) :smile

Happy Birthday, Pangaea. :)

Congratulations for your anniversary (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=13305) here. I too joined the GOF in June 2009... without making an account. :) I always remembered you for your great and detailed posts about dinosaurs. It's good to see you here in 2014.

Unfortunately the GOF isn't what it used to be. The Land Before Time is dead, and there's no more great animated movies about dinosaurs. In fact, I haven't seen any great animated movies since 2010. There are billions of humans on this planet, yet 99% of cartoons they create is of low quality. The GOF was a great place in the past, with tons of activity and discussions. I miss the good old times. :(

I wish you the best!

Thanks for everything! :)

Sounds like a great birthday, in all honesty, and a belated happy one from myself! I'm so sorry I missed it. Was kind of out of it this past week with my surgery, but now that I'm back to pretty much full vision, I may as well add in my well wishes! :)

Sorry for the ridiculously belated response, but I decided my mind would never be at ease unless I posted this.

I just wanted to thank you, Pterano and MurMur, for your star day greetings. I tremendously appreciate any and all birthday well-wishings, no matter how late they are. I am so utterly lonely and lacking in confidence these days that any gesture of friendship or good will offered to me is a much-savored treat. Thanks so much to you and everyone else who wished me a happy birthday. :)

Oh, for those of you who haven't seen them, I have now posted photos of me wearing the lobster hat (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=704&view=findpost&p=22067440) and other quirky marine-life-themed accessories in the "Show us a picture of yourself" thread. Good place to go if you need a laugh. :lol

I was literally just about to log off for the day when I suddenly noticed that today happens to be the birthday of a certain fellow member that I was good friends with years ago. Seeing how very rarely active you are these days, I doubt you may even notice this, but I figured I might as well just go for it anyway, if only for a bit of nostalgia.

Hello, Gang of Five!  :olittlefoot :CeraHAPPY :ducky :petrieooohh :^^spike

I don’t know how many of you are left who have been active long enough to remember me when I was on the forum (roughly mid-2009 to 2013, with a few scattered posts through 2015), but I’m back just for today to celebrate a very special occasion:

11 years ago today, in this very thread, one of my best (and most dearly missed) friends on this forum—Malte279—introduced me to the concept of "schnappszahl” birthdays. A schnappszahl is a number consisting of a single repeating digit, and the name—German for “liquor number”—references the fact that these birthdays are considered particularly special in German culture. Incidentally, I am roughly 14.5% German (on my paternal grandfather’s side), but more significantly I’ve always had a fascination with numbers, dates, and words that are noteworthy in some way, not necessarily in meaning but the structure of the number/word itself. I also love any opportunity/excuse to let my oddball flag fly by celebrating something out of the norm. (Did I ever share the childhood story about the time my siblings and I invented “Cheese Day”?) So schnappszahl birthdays appealed to me immensely. I’ve celebrated every schnappszahl birthday in my family ever since, and whenever I see a friend turning 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, or 111 (though I have yet to witness someone turning 99 or 111), I make sure to pass on the knowledge of schnappszahl birthdays.

So for my third schnappszahl birthday, on the first schnappszahl anniversary of learning about schnappszahl birthdays, I felt obliged to drop by and commemorate the occasion. Thank you, Malte279, wherever you are! I hope we can get back in touch sometime. :DD

Note: if Google is to be trusted, it’s more commonly spelled “schnapszahl” with one ‘p’, but Malte—a native German speaker—spelled it with two when he introduced the word to me, and I’m sticking with that. (I think the word looks better with two ‘p's anyway.)

 :wow Wow, nice to see you again, my old friend! I guess I've been so preoccupied by so many various things lately that I didn't even notice your birthday was upcoming. Anyway, glad that you haven't completely forgotten about us and still occasionally visit (and I hope you at least noticed the private conversation message I had sent you a few months ago regarding something of mutual interest). Can't stick around for long today, but I will at least take a few minutes to type this post to wish you a happy birthday.
