    Jeff,

    Best birthday wishes from Mrs. Yokel, the younger Yokels, and me.

    BTW, you missed having your happy event coincide with Groundhog Day by a mere 24 hours.

    TW: who74?  Why, Punxatawny Phil, of course!

  4. Happy birthday, Jeff. Have some cake, a cold one, and relax.

  5. marcus says:

    Happy b-day, Jeff!

    39 and holding, I presume?

    A little something that may bring a smile to your face.  Cheers.

  6. Pablo says:

    things could be much worse

    might have been the twenty-ninth

    then you’d be, what, eight?

    Happy birthday!

  7. McGehee says:

    Jeff, I’d wish you a happy birthday too, but I’m almost to the point where when God sends me another birthday I’m just going to write “Return to Sender” on it and put it back in the mailbox.

    Not that I mind Him sending them—it’s just that I’ve got so many already, and I don’t like to be greedy.

    Just fyi, if it ain’t moot yet, on Jeff’s laptop problem:

    The noise is probably the HDD.  That or the fan, which is negligible and also cheap/easy to replace.  If the hard drive, Jeff can:

    1) Remove the offending HDD and replace it (under $100)

    2) Buy an external USB drive and boot off that (his BIOS is probably modern enough)

    Either way, image the old HDD onto the new one and presto.  Then you can wait for Leopard or whatever.

    Now, how to fit that into haiku?

    Jeff-san:  New hard drive

    Can solve all your noise problems;

    External, or not.

  9. nichevo says:

    Oh, and happy birthday!  Look on the bright side, maybe you will get a break on your insurance?

    Having just heard that

    Jeff Goldstein turned thirty-nine

    Mandy Marcotte screamed.

    Your motorcycle is in the mail, Big Wheel.

    Happy Birthday, Jeff.  Thanks for the entertainment you’ve provided me since I discovered your site.

    TW: girl47 (send ‘er over!)

  13. proudvastrightwingconspirator says:

    It is Jeff’s birthday.

    Whatever you do, don’t let

    the ‘dillo eat cake.

    After all, that beast

    is an “international

    pariah”, eh Jeff?

  14. Parker says:

    For his birthday, I am going to question Jeff’s patriotism.

    Jeff, what is your patriotism’s favorite mollusk?

    Well?!

  15. McGehee says:

    For his birthday, I am going to question Jeff’s patriotism.

    Where were you on the night of April 23rd!?

  16. BJTexs says:

    as snow piles like ash

    happy birthday to Jeffrey

    laptop serenades

    Save the red pills for your fortieth.

  17. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Thanks, everyone.

    My son got me a flooded bathroom.  Marcotte will probably get me a subpoena.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

  18. Parker says:

    Ahh, the enduring warm joy of fatherhood.

    Wet, but warm.

    Then again, at least you got water.

  19. Bill says:

    Neocon fascist

    Bastard Goldstein, Jew, Jew, Jew

    Jew, Jew, I love you!

    I didn’t get you anything.

  24. Meg Q says:

    family and friends gather

    a new year for Jeff

  25. wishbone says:

    In the western snow,

    The armadillo rides high;

    Hannity’s hair sags.

    Happy Birthday, Jeff.

  26. McGehee says:

    Having a birthday

    Sure beats the alternative

    I still don’t like ‘em

  27. furriskey says:

    Happy Birthday to

    You, happy birthday to you,

    Happy birthday dear

    Structure is important in condensing the muse, I know, but life is a lot simpler with a sonnet, innit?

  28. Austin Mike says:

    Jeff, your website has brought many a smile to this overbusy engineer, who should be working instead of having fun reading your blog.  And if you do no more than bring a few thoughtful moments and some quirky humor to the lives of other readers, you will have done quite a lot.  Thanks, and happy birthday.
