Happy B-Day ya young buck! Enjoy the evening.
Happy birthday, Charles – may your snippers never lose their snip.
Ah, to be so young.

Charles,
Happy Birthday and may you have many more! Thank you for what you do for us.
Best Wishes!

Happy Birthday CTM have a good one. I won’t be in California until April, so I am spared the humiliation of being disinvited.
Dr CRS, I am the same age as you and recommend you pass on the Denny’s meal – the most dispiriting of my 54 birthdays was the one I spent getting a special (!) birthday lunch out of the bastards (no 36 if I remember). Just don’t do it.
I need more details.
Is the event at or adjacent to a 4 or 5 star hotel?
Is there is any chance some warmers would crash the party?
I’d like that.
How about any late 30s to mid 40s single hot skeptic ladies?
Preferably one who is tall, with short brunette hair.
Katie Holmes-like but and an Australian accent.
Will there be plenty of fine food, drink and music?
And because it’s San Francisco is it safe to assume there will be some entertaining characters there to observe?
Just short of a freak show but strange enough to stare at?
If all of this is expected don’t even think about not inviting me.
Reply:
1. Hotel — 3.5 blocks.
2. Women — yes, but this isn’t a meeting of skeptics, assume SF politics for most. Also a half dozen under 30. None under 18.
3. Characters — Staring is impolite.

I used to post when Anthony first started but soon realized I had little to offer compared to the high quality posters who flocked to the site.
Happy Birthday CTM, enjoy. (in moderation of course)
Wish I could come wearing AlGore’s mask…
Happy Birthday from one more New Zealander.
Happy birthday! Forty-twelve this week, eh? Many happy returns.
Many Happy Returns Chasmod.
I’d be honored to attend, but will be about 300 miles south of there on Friday.
Have a good time.

Happy birthday from one skeptical, elderly (not) white Anglo-Celtic male (not, again) to another. Wish I could hop on a plane and join your party, but my husband would divorce me. I always look forward to the humour you inject into you occasional responses to readers’ comments and I would love to meet you and those who make it to your celebration. Hope it’s a happy one, and that many other wonderful years follow!
Happy birthday, Charles! Quaff some corn squeezin’s before you-know-who grabs it for the biofuel biz…
Oh! Make sure to invite Seth Borenstein. And of course Big Al.

Hey, I didn’t know WUWT allowed Pachauri to post on this blog!!
Happy Birthday ! I admire anyone who would have a party for skeptics in the SF area – we’re all climate criminals , you know . I will drink to you Friday night . I would even quaff your favorite libation , if I knew what it were ( provided it’s available in Idaho , however , I draw the line at cosmopolitans , appletinis and mojitos . )
Reply: It’s not a party for skeptics. It’s a wild and crazy birthday party to which I am inviting a small handful of skeptics there will be many more hot Avatar praising girls than skeptics. ~ ctm
Happy Birthday, Charles! It sounds like there’s going to be some “global warming” in SF this weekend. I hope you all have a great time. If you ever make it down to SD the drinks are on me!
Congratulations CTM!
Wish I could pay your tab for all the hard work you have done.
Reply: The party is costing 1,250 to 1,500. I would love to be reimbursed. Hit the tip jar. ~ ctm
The vast Canadian-Australian skeptic community (of which I am official spokesperson) wishes you a very happy CO2 emission limited birthday and associated celebration.
Regrettably, the entire CASC is in Colombia at the moment and would be unable to arrange travel to SF in the short time available.
The CASC will organize its own complementary festivities with many a glass being raised in your honour.

Here is something to look forward to…
It will be here before you know it…trust me.
Happy Birthday, sorry I could not attend even if you were able to invite me (and I doubt you could invite all these responders).
Long time reader but I rather infrequently leave comments. Still…one of my very favorite sites and, as always, we have the moderators to thank. You’re a year younger than me, you lucky SOB.
I haven’t been to San Fran since 1980 and have no intention of screwing up such a good record. I want to say, however, that this is an EXCELLENT idea. Realists should build a sense of community. Have a wonderful birthday and I extend a warm “hello” to all those fortunate enough to attend.
In the end you know…it’s just another trip around the sun.
(Robert looks at faux fax machine. Waits for new ticket (round trip, business class please) from Madrid to SFO to arrive so he can attend birthday party……)
(Other readers suggest that might be a long wait.)
I was 52 once.
The trick as you get older is to hide the decline.
Only you need to know the truth – and don’t worry, a lot of people out there think like that.
Have a good day and party Charles. Would love to be able to make it, and put some faces to the names I’ve got to know on here. You’ll have to get everyone to wear their screen-name on a badge. Alas it’s a long way from Aberfeldy to San Francisco so I can’t make it, but hope there’s someone from Scotland who brings you some decent whisky.
