I've read a lot of bloggers, whom I think are very talented story tellers, say that they think blogging is hard. I have come to realize they are correct.
I mean come on! Mastering "your" and "you're" to say nothing of they're, their and there? Failure in that mastery is sure to bring on a snide comment from JoeBagODonuts from Peoria. Those comments cut sensitive neophyte bloggers like me to the quick.
And Commas?
Get out of town. I didn't even know there was such a thing as an "Oxford Comma", 'til Sarge started giving me subtle hints about needing to start using it.
Then there's something especially difficult for me vis a vis blogging. I have a hard time telling stories. I've led a quiet mostly uneventful life leaving me an introvert of sorts. So, putting together a story every week is difficult.
It does keep Mrs Juvat in shoes though, thanks to the plethora of comments on my story about landing airplanes. I am still waiting for that check from Sarge though. He said something about "in the mail".
Hmmmm....
Anyhoo, (which is another verbal pause Sarge taught me to use) sometimes blogging is easy though. The subject springs forth like flowers in May, provided it rained in April of course.
So.... On with the story!
As you know, Sarge is pretty much a classical guy. Well versed historically, read most of the classics, that sort of thing.
So, I knew he'd appreciate this little video I found.
But, as I was perusing the Tubes of You researching my subject, I came across another appropriate one, given that Sarge is:
1) Old AF Sarge
2) The singer was a hottie in her day
3) Sarge is the "President" of our little blogging troupe.
So, without further ado.
Finally, this is an Aviation Centric blog. So, I found something Aviation related that I thought was appropriate.
So. Three different Ways to say.
Happy Birthday, Sarge!
Happy Birthday to the Sarge - He's not just old, he's Old AF!

DeletePlease bear with us.
DeleteHappy Birthday to you Sarge!
ReplyDeleteThanks A-Aron.
Delete;)
Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI think that the older we get the more we believe that the correct answer to the question, "What do you want for your birthday?" Is, "Another birthday!"
A lot of truth in that statement, John!
DeleteAnother birthday and the chance to enjoy all those days in between with family and friends. Which you all are.
DeleteCommas Juvat? You think a missing comma is important? Tell that to the couple down the street. Their teen age daughter is missing a period and they are going crazy! Oh yeah, and a Happy Birthday to the sarge.
ReplyDeleteYes...Well, that would be problematic now, wouldn't it?
DeleteWould the time that it takes me to think about this be a pregnant pause?
DeleteComedians. Everywhere.
DeleteSprayed the monitor, twice.
Ah gee, now I'm blushing...
ReplyDeleteThanks Juvat!
My Pleasure, my friend. Here's wishing you many more.
DeleteHappy Birthday Sarge!
ReplyDeleteGetting the colon right is the important thing. :)
Stearman, King Parrot Head, and Martina. Yeah, that's a hell of a tribute.
Yes, but Sarge has had lots of assistance with colons, so he's kinda the expert around here :-)
DeleteSee what I did there?
😂😂😂
DeleteLead Violin, yes. More precisely, Concert Master. :)
DeleteI stand corrected, which isn't all that unusual.
DeleteI like to sit corrected. Easier on the knees.
DeleteI only semi-understand colons.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Sarge! I hope your going to have a grate birthday party, there going to give you lots of presents and you get lots of deserts. How's that for irritating?
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteOkay, those icons from my phone are supposed to look like little ROTFLMAO faces.
DeleteSomehow in Blogger they look like they've just been shot. Oh dear.
But thanks Lou. Hysterical.
Happy Birthday Sarge! May you have many, many more:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Suz!

You're the Birthday Boy today Sarge? Well HBDTY! Yeah, I know birthday is one word, just like, I, know, about, the, oxford, comma. Haha. Have a great day, just don't run around in your birthday suit.
ReplyDeleteToo late!
DeleteThanks Tuna.
Happy Birthday Sarge. I expect to wish you many more Happy Birthdays as the years roll on.
ReplyDeletePaul L. Quandt
As long as you're around to offer them Paul.
DeleteThanks.
HB Sarge! Jeanie and I hope that you are having a great day. WOW, what a gift. Beach bums, crab boil, surfing' and best of all - an airplane ride.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave.
DeleteAirplane rides, always good!
Well....Unless you're in cheap seats and it's on United. Or American. Or Delta.
DeleteThere is that...
DeleteHappy Birthday Sarge!
ReplyDeleteAnd the comments are better than what's written in many cards, too :)

L.J.
They are indeed.
DeleteThanks L.J.!
Geeze, late to the game and not sure that I could compete with all that wit, anyway. Happy Birthday OAFS! I'll have a Basil Hayden in your honor tonight. regards, Alemaster
ReplyDeleteThanks Alemaster!
DeleteHappy birthday, Sarge! Am I too late for cake? (There should always be cake!) BTW, when you were born, was the calendar they were using Gregorian, Julian or Snap-On??
ReplyDelete(Note the lack of an Oxford comma!)
Have a good one!
Cake, there was cake?
DeleteThanks Mike!
Good one, and Happy Birthday (belated) to Sarge!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cajun!
