Happy gauche birthday!

What are you talking about? I'm not a cowboy.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

That ain't what you said last night, cowboy.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 20 September 2003 01:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Things I am doing now:

1) Gathering the final tracks for my '79 comp (current count: 152, which might fit if they're all 128 kbps)
2) Listening to "Sister Christian"
3) Feeling kind of crap

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

el-p looks kinda sad abt the prospect of our threesome, would you be cool if i replaced him with kelis??

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno, you might be missing out

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

from R2D2

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Make em say UGH!!!

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

that's a great lyric. you see what he is saying is that you thought you knew better but that was actually an illusion because the other guy has real depth. and to shake your booty means to wiggle one's butt.

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:32 (twenty-two years ago)

something tells me you don't actually wish me a happy birthday, padgett

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Sha-na nuh na

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:35 (twenty-two years ago)

nate im sorry, are you trying to say you have one up on me now? because if so, that had to be a projection

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i really wish you a happy birthday nate. ::blows dating game-show kiss into the air:::

― Vic (Vic), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:41 (twenty-two years ago)

nate why should i go away? is it cause i am not see through?

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It's because you're a worthless piece of shit who ruins everything.

Fuck you and everyone who sticks up for your hateful little antics.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

it's hard to picture trife as a person. i imagine this bite-sized elf perched expectantly on the space bar of someone's office computer after they've left for the day.

happy b-day nate!

― amateurist (amateurist), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

whoa hold up dude i was playing!! you should chill for real, this is like the 946th time ive tried to be your friend and youve blown up all weird and angry on me!!

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

with a helium voice to match.

― amateurist (amateurist), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck off amateurist with your constant scheming iago bullshit!!

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe go find a cafeteria where you can spill milk on the kid next to you and blame it on your pathetically supposed 'enemy'

― trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Bonne anniversaire, nate!
(err, not that i remember enough french to spell that correctly :-( )

― lyra (lyra), Saturday, 20 September 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

If memory serves, I believe I spent my 26th birthday locked up in jail for driving while intoxicated. You don't know how good you got it, man,

― ScottRC (ScottRC), Saturday, 20 September 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

happy birthday nate!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 September 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

happy birfday.

you don't get any less bored as you age. trust me on this.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 20 September 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

If memory serves, I believe I spent my 26th birthday locked up in jail for driving while intoxicated. You don't know how good you got it, man,

Different birthday, same event, but soooooo OTM.

My last two birthdays have been as mind-numbingly boring as possible.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 20 September 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Happy birthday, Nate, and happy weekend as well! A good combination by any measure.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy Christ is this thread weird. I totally wanted to post something like "Hey Nate, as a guy who sort of acted like a dick toward you in the past, um, I regret it. Because you actually seem really cool. And, um, happy birthday! and shit!" But christ, you fucking blew up at trife when he didn't do ANYTHING on this thread but be cool to you! (on your own, self-started VANITY thread - let's not forget).

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, yeah - I totally forgot to mention amateurist's self-caricaturing preciousness. Well, I suppose everyone sort of expects that at this point.

Anyway, yeah Nate .. sorry for the times I acted like a dick .. have a good birthday!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, nate keep yr head up. happy birthday!

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

and keep writing!

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

ditto to that!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

nate, happy birthday. you're one of the folks who brought me out of lurk status, at least temporarily. also we nearly share a b-day- i hit two-seven on tuesday!

― rob geary (rgeary), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

trife is the bowie "laughing gnome" after having smoked lots of crack and turned evil.

happy b'day mr. patrin!

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

again, happy birthday. you are 13 days older than me, thus you are evil. power up.

― amateurist (amateurist), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"Power up" is maybe the best birthday wish ever uttered by someone who wasn't jel.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 20 September 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

nate is 13 days older than amateurist?!!! - :^O

― cinniblount (James Blount), Saturday, 20 September 2003 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

HBNP!

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Happy birthday, sug - I hope it's fantastical.

Hi! We're Dio! And we'd just like to wish Nate a happy birthday!

Vivian: Yeah! Have a great day!

Indeed.

Nate.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 20 September 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Happy Birthday Nate, I read your blog recently, Etienne De Crecy eh? If you want boundless and limitless french house recommendations you know where to come, but just for your birthday I think you need to hear the Buffalo Bunch remix of "Close Your Eyes" by Bebel Gilberto, I promise this will cheer you up.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 20 September 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Hoppy boitday, Nate Patrin! And do something about that crankiness! ;) (No really, it's a time to be happy. Even if you were to be turning 85, you should still be happy. "Yay, I made it to another year!", etc.)

― Legendary Nothingness (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 20 September 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

happy bday nate!

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 20 September 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry I blew up, but maybe this will explain. I'm not really planning on posting any further unless anyone can convince me otherwise.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 20 September 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

happy birthday NATE from the othah side of the rivah

ps give a shout if you ever go to shows!!

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 20 September 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

nate -- though our ILX posting habits don't really cross very often, i've always enjoyed your posts when they have. i've found them to be intelligent, humorous, and well-spoken defenses of the things that you like.

anyway, perhaps it is best that you take a breather if you need to do so. i don't think that ILX is going anywhere!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Saturday, 20 September 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

2) Listening to "Sister Christian"
3) Feeling kind of crap

Man, that's right up there with 2)ate 20 burritos, 3)currently on the shitter. Nonetheless, Happy Birthday. I wish you peace, dawg.
