Stacy's Birthday!!!

[The Late Mitchell Warren]

I don't actually celebrate birthdays, but I had to take this opportunity to wish StacyStec a happy 50th year. No, no, I kid...(I promised myself I wasn't going to make this a roast ;D) Heaven knows how old our buddy Stacy is, but one thing is for sure: we appreciate his contributions to Subversify.com, his kindness, his intellect, his razor sharp wit, and his best of all, his cyber-friendship. Congratulations Stacy and we wish you many happy memories now and in the future. Oh and we all know how much you loved Goodwill Hunting so Matt Damon had this to say...



Come on everyone, let Stacy feel the love!!

Happy birthday in Inupiaq, although there isn't actually a word for birthday so this is happy today

Well, Stacy, if i could have figured out the images, i could have done the whole shebang thing, but i can't even give you a cake with the knowledge i have of all the fancy do-dads, but i can give you a recipe for Eskimo ice cream.

three quarts snow
one and one half quarts berries
two cups sugar
one cup seal fat
Mix together and serve. P.S. Do not use yellow snow!

The word for a newcomer to Alaska is a chechacko. The chechacko's don't know this. They think they are the new Alaskans. They also think a sourdough is someone who has been in Alaska a great many years, but it actually means it's someone who has soured on Alaska and doesn't have the dough to get out.

There are two official means of becoming a sourdough. You can live in a log cabin for twenty years or you can hasten the title by pissing in the Yukon, wrestling a Polar bear and making love to an Eskimo. After being told this, one enterprising young man disappeared for quite awhile. When he returned, half his hair had been pulled out, he was covered with horrible scratches and his clothing was shredded. "Well," he said proudly, "I pissed in the Yukon and screwed a Polar bear. Now where's that Eskimo i have to wrestle?"

That's my gift to you; a little bona fide Alaskan humor. Do you think it would do better than Northern Esposure?

Now, to host the man without getting all mushy. Notice i said host, not roast. This isn't easy. It seems our favorite pastime is to see how close we can get to the fire without roasting. Yet, it's your wit i always think of first. There is something very delicious about the art of banter, and you give that art finesse. There's much more about you that makes me value your friendship, much more that i'd say if we didn't have a steadfast agreement not to get mushy. Things like what a good friend you've been, patiently helping me through technical blunders, and lending advice when i needed it. Things like the gifts of art, writing and laughter you've shared by putting your heart and soul into your efforts. No, i won't say them because nobody likes to hear these things. I'll just say it's a happy day because this is the day Stacy was born and there isn't a word in Inupiaq for birthday.

(Very well put Karla. You couldn't have been mushilesser. Making up words is subversive therefore acceptable.)

Happy Birthday you old Fart. My initial idea to honor your birthday was to do a little research (ahem investigating) on things that you possibly liked. So I set out to do what some (nobody here of course) would call stalking. I typed stacystec into a general search (as if that wasn't violating the snooping code of ethics enough); beyond reading a review you did some time ago. I just didn't feel right to progress with such sleuthing, so I put an end to it. Out damn spot! You've got searchability, that's for sure. I decided to stick to what I had already registered and compiled into my long term memory bank. Why not post the things that Stacy loves the most?








Phew, that was a relief. If I could sprinkle cinnamon on it I would. Now to hit the music shelf. I tried to find a video that wouldn't be interpreted as personal, but it works so well.



Stacy, overall you're a good person. We've all influenced each other to some degree, I even find myself using some of your words. You notice with time that people have a selection of signature words that they use. Well in a way you rubbed off on me. I learned alot from you. And thank you for all of your help. I did figure out that stupid .csv extension. My excel program was on the fritz. I just had to restart my computer. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Take care. With love, Maya.

AH! Sparklies! You know me so well, now I feel the urge to burn things. And Matt is giving me the sexy eyes, I think that nancy wants me to lug him back to a cabin in the alaskan wilderness and give em the ol' lumberjack treatment ( ' cause thats ok, they work all night and sleep all day - winks-).

Late to the party as usual, but no less apprecaitive of all you do and are. Stacy, I cannot say enough how much I enjoy arguing with you. You are one of the true professionals in the field of arguement. Brightest Blessings on the upcoming year. ~Grainne
