XL

If I were Roman, that’s how old I would be today.

Today I will be spending my birthday processing inventory transactions and answering the phone - great fun. Tomorrow, however, we’re having a little shindig in my honor with family, friends, and beer.

    Happy Birthday

    Visual Basic told me so

  5. Happy Birthday DK. Maybe after your shindig, you can put together a class-module to figure the amount of alcohol processed through the kidneys - and ow that correlates to the number of bad jokes told over the course of the night.

    Have fun at the toga party, old man.

    Dick, it’s time you started quoting your age in hexadecimal.

    Happy 28th birthday!

    Huffy:
    Hexidecimal? Pshaw!
    This is a perfect opportunity for “If you can’t change the result, change the rules”!

    In Base 41, Dick is only 19 years old - age of majority.
    Next year he can be 19, Base 42

    Hi,
    As long as XL is your age and not your clothing size, you are doing well.
    Thanks for a great site and insight.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Happy BD! today is mine as well. as a kid I always thought it was very that my birthday was precisely 6 months until Christmas. Birthday = new swim suit or bike Christmas = new sled or ice skates

    Enjoy your day!

    Happy Birthday Dick,

    Bob, I’m XL in most things, but that’s mainly muscle dude!!! - Not!

    Happy Birthday Dick, enjoy the shin digging,

    Happy Birthday!!

    I guess that it is appropriate that I was XL when I first got on the Excel forum on Compuserve as a neophyte.

    HB, Dick!

    Go LSU!

    Technically the Roman Empire ceased in 476 AD, so that makes you very old in any base…

    Happy Birthday
