My Birthday is star date April 10th and I want a cake! This thread *does not* eliminate another birthday-thread in four months and does not occlude anyone from sending gifts at such time. :)

On forums I don't include my birthday so as to not offer any personal data/information. :rolleyes: I will say the first Space Shuttle launch into space, Columbia, was supposed to take off on April 10th 1981, but was delayed and left April 12th, coming back home on the 14th. April 10th is also the birthdate of a replicant in Bladerunner. I'll never forget that first shuttle launch, I was awake for 20 hours waiting for her to take off, couldn't believe it would happen on my birthday. My grandfather painted for a few years while retired in Florida. He made a painting for me of the famous photo of the launch and I cherish it. Space, the final frontier.

Whether or not it is your birthday, have a great day, or what is left of the day Viper!!

If its not your birthday... why not celebrate your non-birthday. Get the gifts that you normally wouldn't get on your actual birthday.

So, instead of Han Solo or Don Johnson references. For your non birthday, Viper, I give you this...
