Happy Birthday Ed

With one hour left to go, we probably should wish a Happy Birthday to front page contributor Ed.

Fitting that this birthday is on a day of rest, because that’s the one thing we know he’s good at.

Hope it was a good one Ed, and we hope this post doesn’t wake you, wherever you are.

3,232 marbles

Infinite number of possibilities for this one

32=32
3*2=3*2
3+2=3+2

Lawton Sack June 14, 2012 at 5:31 pm

3,233 marbles

3-2=3/3 marbles

Lawton Sack June 14, 2012 at 5:33 pm

3,234 marbles

(3-2)+3=4 marbles

Lawton Sack June 14, 2012 at 5:51 pm

It looks like I moved this party to the second page. Happy almost 2 month anniversary of your birthday, Ed!

Calypso June 14, 2012 at 8:23 pm

You da man, Lawton. Breaking new ground, or at least new pages. Blog pages, not legislative ones. That would not be right.

Ed June 26, 2012 at 7:32 am

Happy birthday to our big bossman, Icarus.

Calypso June 26, 2012 at 7:53 am

Really!?! Today’s the day? As a front-pager, why didn’t you give Charlie his own Happy B-day page?

Have a great one, Charlie. Unless Ed’s lying to us.

Charlie June 26, 2012 at 9:22 am

Ed is always lying to us, even when he’s telling the truth.

Ed June 26, 2012 at 10:17 am

Icarus is 30. Truth or lie?
I respect his authority. Truth or lie?

Calypso June 26, 2012 at 10:33 am

1) Your nose grew 12″ on that one.
2) Of course you do. You just don’t always (ok, rarely) agree with his positions.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 12:50 pm

1. Icarus is red-acted years old.

2. You did not define his.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 12:56 pm

I refuse to answer this one.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 1:10 pm

Go Jackets! is correct. +43

Nathan June 26, 2012 at 1:06 pm

August 13th can’t get here soon enough…

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 1:09 pm

I hear there is a conspiracy to keep it open beyond August 13, 2012.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 1:12 pm

Calypso June 26, 2012 at 3:26 pm

How many more guesses do I get before I’m hung. Not ‘hung’ but hung. You know what I mean.

I don’t mean the, ‘You know what I mean nudge-nudge wink-wink’ kind of ‘You know what I mean’, but rather the ‘You know what I mean’ kind of ‘You know what I mean’.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 3:27 pm

You have been hog-tied, hog-washed, and hung out to dry.

PRETZELS

This game is hereby over. :)

Calypso June 26, 2012 at 3:45 pm

I thought there was a rule that you could never use ‘Z’ in hangman. I read that somewhere. I’m sure of it.

Let’s play hangman using the click language of the African bushmen living in the Kalahari Desert.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 1:14 pm

In honor of Dr. Charlie Icarus Pundit Harper:

4,343 marbles

John Vestal June 26, 2012 at 2:11 pm

So, Icarus is something he hasn’t been for one year….will be for one year…then won’t be again for three years?

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 2:15 pm

Yes.

41 – prime
42 – non-prime
43 – prime
44, 45, 46 – non-prime
47 – prime

Calypso June 26, 2012 at 2:19 pm

But I imagine Charlie would argue that he’s in his prime every year.

Lawton Sack June 26, 2012 at 2:20 pm

Lol. Yes he would.

Charlie June 26, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Every day after 5:00, usually.

The best Mr.Bean sketch ever. You won’t regret the investment of several minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS1ePEZZCDY

Lawton Sack July 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

To provide the commentary:

Link 1 (by Ed): Video of Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough – Michael Jackson
Link 2 (by Lawton): Video of Doris Day singing The Party’s Over, as a witty retort to Ed’s link
Link 3 (by Kaleidoscope): Video of Celebration by Kool and the Gang
Link 4(by Lawton): Video of Mr. Bean dancing to the tune of Chacarron Macarron as a non-sequitur

Ed July 6, 2012 at 1:36 pm

Yeah I’m not watching those. It’s my birthday I do what I want.

Charlie July 6, 2012 at 1:39 pm

We have a rule at Peach Pundit that you don’t post links without commentary. Even if it’s Ed’s birthday. Stop it. Otherwise Harry will continue to think he is the only one who suffers from such persecution.

Ed July 6, 2012 at 1:52 pm

Fine.

Lawton Sack July 6, 2012 at 1:55 pm

The last time I follow your example, Ed.

Calypso July 6, 2012 at 1:59 pm

It was the first time too, if I’m not mistaken.

Lawton Sack July 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

Shhhhhhhhhh. Ed doesn’t need to know that.

Lawton Sack July 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

Sorry, boss. I thought this particular thread was way beyond rules. My condolences to Harry.

Calypso July 6, 2012 at 1:59 pm

Mea culpa y’all.

Link 5 (by CALYPSO. CALYPSO is my name. CALYPSO): Mr. Bean making lunch on a park bench. The funniest 5 minutes of your life. I implore you to watch it. It’s like the comedy of Blazing Saddles, Animal House, and The Gods Must Be Crazy all rolled together and condensed into 300 seconds. Don’t blame me if you pee in your pants from all the laughter.

Lawton Sack July 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

You provided commentary for Link 5, so I left it alone. Sorry, I get you and Kaleidoscope mixed up.

Calypso July 9, 2012 at 9:59 am

216 marbles. Don’t you have to start again from there?

Many Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller were filmed at Florida’s Silver Springs near Ocala.

Lawton Sack July 9, 2012 at 10:31 am

I have been there. Marbles go up, but they do not go down.

3,236 marbles

Ed July 9, 2012 at 10:35 am

This is what it feels like PP has become, man.

http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2008/11/21/

Calypso July 9, 2012 at 12:59 pm

Do you feel as though you have become the enforcer, or the one upon which the rules are enforced? Or perhaps the stuffed animal?

Ed July 9, 2012 at 1:06 pm

Your false dilemma is false, man.

Which makes me more like God–being three-in-one.

Calypso July 9, 2012 at 1:10 pm

I take it you’re not a Unitarian.

Lawton Sack July 9, 2012 at 2:07 pm

I am a 3,237 degree marbletarian

Calypso July 9, 2012 at 2:14 pm

3238, there’s my contribution to the cause. I hope you enjoyed your brief respite from the drudgery. Are commas a requirement? If so, 3,238. If not, see my initial entry. Am I allowed to say the same number twice in one post? Is there a ‘Z’?

Ed July 9, 2012 at 2:39 pm

Reverend Lovejoy accurately describes my feelings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvpjPO61FWU

Calypso August 5, 2012 at 3:41 pm

3239 marbles

georgiaconservative33 August 8, 2012 at 5:34 pm

This thread has less than a week left on it. The only record that will be broken will be Ed’s copy of Girl You Know It’s True by Milli Vanilli.

3,230 marbles

georgiaconservative33 August 8, 2012 at 5:36 pm

I lost my marbles on that one, much like we have lost our ability to modify posts. That should have been 3,240 marbles.

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 8, 2012 at 6:02 pm

GACON33,

Not as easy as it looks, is it? Sometimes using words is better:

three thousand two hundred forty-one marbles

Of course, you could try Roman numerals:

MMMCCXLII marbles

Calypso August 8, 2012 at 7:40 pm

Three to for too marbles

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 11:34 am

I will take 3243 marbles for $500, Alex.

Calypso August 9, 2012 at 12:53 pm

Three too fore 4 marbles. Go Duke!

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 1:49 pm

15,919,164,789,181 marbles

Calypso August 9, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Ok, what super-duper mathematical trick do you use to make that number turn into the next number of marbles to be stacked? I bet you thought I was going to ask how do you turn that number into X,XXX and you would have suckered me in to stacking the next marble for you.

Ha, I didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 4:49 pm

It is the national debt represented in marbles. :(

Lea Thrace August 9, 2012 at 4:46 pm

I am clearly having a brain bleed cause I just do not understand this marbles thing yall have going. :-(

I want to be one of the COOL KIDS!!!!

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 4:50 pm

It was a dark and stormy night. REDACTED

And that is the meaning behind marbles.

The End.

Lea Thrace August 9, 2012 at 4:51 pm

My brain sploded.

Charlie August 9, 2012 at 4:51 pm

This is not where the marbles began, but it is almost where they ended.

Lea Thrace August 9, 2012 at 5:00 pm

I get it now.

You people are all a little whacked.

I knew I liked this place!

Charlie August 9, 2012 at 5:06 pm

You should have been here before we banned that Icarus dude. We were getting the reputation for being a drug haven.

Calypso August 9, 2012 at 5:11 pm

Charlie, who do you think was the most off the wall, Icarus or bill30039 (or something close to that)?

Lawton, I think Lea would like to play hangman with you.

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 5:17 pm

H_NGMAN shall never be played by Lawton on Peach Pundit again.

Charlie August 9, 2012 at 5:18 pm

U?

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 7:14 pm

ME? US?

Calypso August 9, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Is there a ‘Z’?

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 10, 2012 at 5:15 pm

The _ is the representative blank tile from the wildly popular board game that is commonly known by its common name by both common and uncommon folks as Scrabble.

Calypso August 10, 2012 at 6:42 pm

When I was a little tike and my Grandma babysat me, lo those many years ago, we often played Scrabble.

Lea Thrace August 9, 2012 at 5:13 pm

I was a lurker during the Icarus era. Man, those were dark times. Lawlessness everywhere. Prostitutes and drugs all over the place.

Those were the good days.

Whatever happened to that guy…

:-D

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 9, 2012 at 5:16 pm

Well, he was banned after the cross dressing started. He went by the name of Chicarus then.

I’ll go sit in the corner, Charlie.

Lawton Sack (Go Jackets!) August 13, 2012 at 10:38 pm

1 hour, 22 minutes to go. Happy Birthday, ED!
