Tone's Birthday.  Time for posting, roasting and toasting.
 
First, Happy Birthday Tonarama,   Hope you end up wearing your Birthday Suit in Amsterdam .  Opppsss .....arrest photos......bad visual.....need more blur.
 
Now I think I know why you are such a wonderfully anal retentive nut jub.....Virgo.  I am married to one.  Knives, forks and spoons must all be in proper slots
of kitchen drawers.  Then, the multiple personality thing.  Virgos have more multiple personalities than Howard had with his auto-reply while at NAB a couple
of years ago.
 
And now....I think I really have you.  Perhaps the unthinkable has finally occurred......making a mistake, miscalculation or flawed judgment.  Maybe you are
slipping a bit.....old man.
 
You stated: The secret is to age in PAL and not NTSC.  I'd be 60 in NTSC.
Well according to my little atom sized brain, if 1 year equals 525 in NTSC then you would be 525 years old.
Since you reside in PAL world, then for you, 1 year equals 625, you must be 100 years older.
( I didn't realize there would be math questions.)
 
You are ACTUALLY older over there, than us young whipper snappers over here.
 
Now for the benefits of getting older.....ummm......duh.....well.....mmmmmmm..................................................................................................................
 
Well at least, there is the little blue pill. You can still re-live the old days waking up under the "circus tent" and then
getting shot out of a cannon ( I knew you were of high caliber) and landing on a soft clown......I mean soft ground, to then bed Wanda,
the bearded lady.  Ahh, those were the days.   Although now they say the blue pill may cause blindness.  So you can either see what your not
getting or get what your not seeing, either way, for you.....you'd be a much better editor.
 
Honestly, I hope you celebrate with an all nighter.........meaning you don't have to get up all night and take a wiz about 12 times.
 
So strap on those Depends, polish up the Dentures, spray on a little "Bald Be Gone", splash on the Old Spice and slip into your Man Bra.,
and go get pie-eyed. 
 
Just to be real, I just want to add this which I don't say often enough.  Hundreds of people post on this list...........and you are one of them !!!!!!!!!
 
######### OFFICIAL END OF HUMOROUS PORTION OF POST ############  ( Comedy failure ends here. )
 
 
OK, enough joking around, I am dead serious now.  From the bottom of my pace-maker ticking heart. 
 
Tone, you truly mean so much to so many and have unselfishly devoted your time, energy, expertise and brilliance
to making this list what it is.  Without you, this list and perhaps, the DS would never have evolved to the box
that it is today.  You have donated countless hours helping the many brain-cell challenged, lazy cutters like myself
solve their issues time and time again.  You have never neglected to help anyone, no matter what. 
Although I have never met you, I feel like you are my true brother.
 
I sincerely wish you all the best and look forward to the next 10 years.
 
Everyone joins me is hoisting our Bass Ale to say........Party On, Render On, Rant On and above all, Live On..... Mr. Tone, Thank You and Happy Birthday.
 
Cheers......Rick at naked eye
