Happy birthday Charles. From your photo, you sure don’t look 52.
Happy Birthday, Charles the Moderator. I bet you wondered if you would make 52 with all the responsibility Anthony’s inventiveness “forced” on you. This celebration of the day of your birth will also be a celebration of the coming of age of science education. You and your compatriots, who will be putting CO2 to one of its proper uses, downing lots beer and bubbly, can raise a glass to real science and the scientific method. That’s a great asccomplishment for one life time and you have lots more to live. Yes, who said 60 is the new middle age? I agree. My Mom is 91 and going strong with a good mind — not a feeble bone in her body!
Wish I could join you. Hope Pamela Gray and Anna V are there. And certainly the two Smiths, George and E.M. There are lots of other contributors who have become “friends” because of their fierce strength, commitment to truth, and good hearts.
Cheers and Kampai. (My children are returning from Japan in a few weeks to make California their home.)
Reply: Are you asking? It’s like reading Ravetz. ~ctm
ctm,
happy birthday
best wishes
party hearty
Happy birthday, thank you for your great work here. A special birthday song to the approximate tune of the Volga Boatmen:
Oh happy birthday
Oh happy birthday
One more year closer to death
Oh happy birthday
You don’t look a day over 51! Happy birthday old bean. Here’s to many more.
And in the off chance that I were to be invited, I would have to decline as I am the only one on staff that doesn’t merit holidays of any kind. The owner/operator!
Cheers and best fishes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday from Idaho(whee spring means 21 feet of snow at the ski resorts) CTM you are truly one of the best people I have never met. Thank you for all the hard work you have done more for the people of the county than most of congress and the white house combined.
Hey CTM
Us Aussies have a favour to ask of you.
After about 6 drinks each, you all get together and chant…
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI! OI! OI!
And take pictures of the chant and post ’em please 🙂
Oooops happy birthday old fella 🙂
I was not aware that test tube babies actually have a ” birth day”, but hey, any reason to toss back a few ales and maybe a shot of tequila or two !!! 8^D !! Wish I could be there ! If you can afford to fly in a bouncer, I would be glad to fulfill that duty !! Happiest of days to you Charles!! I will be quoffing an ale in your honor. I expect a full report of the party on my desk in the morning ! ( ok, maybe later that afternoon ). Cheers !!
Happy Birthday! From a skeptic who has now been accused, and officially reprimanded, of being in denial of prevailing opinion, not willing to cooperate with the consensus, and not dotting their i’s and crossing their t’s fast enough. As a result I have been excluded from the table. The one voice that says, “hold on a minute”. All because I happen to believe in the heart, soul, and brain of a 5th grader. Being slow to label, wanting more information, and getting it right, is what inquiry is all about. Else we lead ourselves, and those who trust us, over the cliff.
Happy birthday.
Consider me there in spirit.
Have a good one! Your so much younger than I….1 year… 🙂
Happy Birthday Charles!
Great Idea, have a good party and don’t drink to much virtual beer!
Happy Birthday, Charles the Great! Here down under, I shall drink a toast to your good health and moderation! 🙂
Have a great B’day!!
A 52nd birthday??? Seems to make it a B-52 party. Order the A-Bomb shooters until no one can flap their wings anymore. Enjoy!!!!!
Happy birthday Charles
Happy Birthday, CTM! can’t drink anyomore, but I raise a cup’o Java to you!…
BTW you are one of the most tolerant Moderators on the web. DW is on a few
gardening sites that are seem to be run by the Red Queen….
“You are offering a service?-off with your head!”
“Hybrid teas! Hybrid TEAS?=off with your head!”
That sort of thing..
Happy Birthday! I’m actually going to be in San Francisco for the American Chemical Society conference starting Sunday, so I might be able to make it, if you’ll have me.
Happy birthday Charles. I would love to hop across the Bay Bridge for a quick pint or two.
I’m assuming you will be taking a break from moderating at this event, and colorful language will be allowed ??? …… I mean, there will be AGW talk, right ??
Lovely idea! 🙂 Have a good one – visions of live “moderation by party committee” spring to mind!
With brevity one of the highest expressions of respect in being a large part of the Best Science Blog online, and more: Happy Birthday on Friday, Charles – with many more being possible thanks to…..the Sun?! Sorry alarmists – the Sun, the earth, WUWT & CTM rule!
I’m sure you’ll have one of the HOTTEST parties in SF. Hide any declines!
Happy St. Pats… and Happy Birthday to ya, Charles!
Thank You for your mostly thankless work behind the scenes at WUWT, keeping the cogs greased and the ways cleared!
A Toast to you Sir! May God give our enemies a limp, so we can spot them when they’re coming our way!
‘Tup a Cup for me!!!!!!!!
Well done and happy birthday … hope to see you there … I can easily drive from the South Bay.
