    Happy Birthday, sonny. One of your childhood friends wants to share his best wishes, too ...

    Now let's party to The Gumpty Grump (courtesy Zeke and the others who helped inspire this) ...

    All right!
    Stop whatcha postin'
    'cause I'm about to coast in
    and talk some shit about Tom Seaver.
    I look funny
    and I ain't makin' money see
    so yo SportsJournalists.com I hope you're ready for me.
    Now gather round
    I'm the new fool in town
    and my sound's laid down by the Underground.
    I'll drink the bottle of Geritol you got on your shelf
    So just let me introduce myself
    My name is spnited, pronounced with the -ited
    And, yo ladies, oh how I likes to go to bed.
    And all the posters in the top ten--please allow me to bump thee.
    I'm steppin' tall, y'all,
    and just like Humpty Dumpty
    you're gonna fall when the reply button pumps me.
    I like to whine,
    I like my verbiage crusty,
    I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
    I'm sick wit dis, straight old guy smack
    but sometimes I get ridiculous
    I'll post about the Met pen until you say ick
    hey yo Beej, c'mere--are ya ticklish?
    Yeah, I called ya Beej.
    Look at me, I'm Old.
    It never stopped me from gettin' told no.
    I'm a freak
    I like my girls with one foot in the tomb
    I once edited copy in a Burger King bathroom
    I'm crazy.
    Allow me to amaze thee.
    They say I'm bitter but it just don't faze me.
    I'm still hiking up my old man pants
    and I even got my own dance

    The Spnited Dance is your chance to do the grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, come on and do the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, just watch me do the Grumpty Grump
    Do ya know what I'm doin', doin' the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, do the Grumpty Grump

    People say "Yo, Spnited, you're really cranky gramps'"
    that's all right 'cause I own you whippersnaps'
    Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to confuse me
    I still don't know what the cat pictures mean
    I give 'em more, see, and on the board, BYH,
    all the girls they adore me
    Oh yes, posters, I'm really bein' sincere
    'cause in 69 the Boys of Summer really tickled my rear.
    My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
    Big like a pica pole, I'm still not gettin' paid
    I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge,
    both how I'm livin' and my prostate is large
    I get stoopid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid,
    I use a screen name that don't mean nothin', like spnited
    I post on the baseball thread,
    and if you missed it.
    I'm the one who said
    "Johan Santana sucks hind tit."
    Also told ya that I like to whine
    Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like early bird dinner time.
    All ya had to do was give Grumpty a chance
    and now I'm gonna do my dance.

    The Spnited Dance is your chance to do the grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, come on and do the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, just watch me do the Grumpty Grump
    Do ya know what I'm doin', doin' the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, do the Grumpty Grump

    Breakdown:
    Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
    Let me hear a little bit of that "new record' right here
    Oh, yeah!
    Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
    let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
    It's real easy to do--check it out

    First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
    Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like Willie Randolph waving to the pen
    Crazy wack funky
    People say ya look like Aaron Heilman on crack, Grumpty
    That's all right 'cause my old body's in motion
    It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
    Anyone can post my name
    This is my dance, y'all, Grumpty Grump's my name
    No two people will do it the same
    Ya got it down when ya appear to have arthritis pains
    Humpin', funkin', jumpin',
    jig around, shakin' ya rump,
    and when the Simon chump pump points a finger like a stump
    tell him step off, I'm doin' the Grump.

    The Spnited Dance is your chance to do the grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, come on and do the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, just watch me do the Grumpty Grump
    Do ya know what I'm doin', doin' the Grumpty Grump
    Do the Grumpty Grump, do the Grumpty Grump

    Salary cap advocates, do the Grumpty Hump, do the Grumpty Grump
    Flyover Fools, do the Grumpty Grump, do the Grumpty Grump
    Springsteen fans, do the Grumpty Grump, just keep on doin' the Grump
    Middle-aged divorcees, do the Grumpty Grump, do the Grumpty Grump
    Let's get stoopid!

    Oh, yeah, come on and break it down
    Outro:
    Once again, SportsJournalists.com is in the house
    I'd like to send a shout out to Tahoe,
    keep on doin' the Grumpty Dance,
    and to the ladies,
    peace and Grumpiness forever

    Wow ... I decide to take a couple of weeks away from the board and I'm just thrown out to the sea. Well, I have to come back, if only for this thread (maybe) because spnited is probably my oldest friend on this board, and one of only two non-family members to visit me when I was in the hospital a few years ago.

    And I also must reassert myself as perhaps the board elder at 61 (soon to be 62). Spnited, lovingly called Rainman by an old co-worker because he seemed to know a little about everything in the world, very soon you might just pass me in age. Hey, you never know ... if I die, the title is all yours.

    On a few brighter notes, Willie says hello and KW says kiss my ass.

    Have a good one,

    Casty

    And KW can kiss my ass and you know it!

    I refuse to believe you have a fantasy team that isn't quarterbacked by Romo. I know you. If you wouldn't have been able to draft him, you would have traded your top three picks to whoever did. :D

    I am actually a little peeved. I felt dirty not being able to root for him last week. It was much easier last year when he was all I cared about. :D

    Well, both my teams lost. On one, Vince Young was my starter.
