Congratulations to: Quasimodo (108)

[_Quasimodo]

How old are you really?

Happy b-day!

Very! 65 yesterday. This may be the last birthday I count. From now on I'm counting backwards.

Thanks so much, Amyjo!

Happy birthday, and good luck on your lifelong journey to become Fullymodo.

This inspired an involuntary guffaw.

Mostly because I understand wanting to increase your modo. You ask anyone, they'll tell you: the modo, the better.

No guffaw here, if I may ask. Involuntarily? OK.

What does Quasimodo's name mean?

It taken from the name of ths Sunday after Easter - Low Sunday, or "Quasimodo" Sunday. The words come from the beginning of the introit to Mass on that day, in Latin: "Quasi modo geniti infantes...", which literally means "Like just-born infants...." (generally translated slightly more poetically as something like "Like newborn babes...").
...
The author says that whether this name was given for it's meaning or for the day he was found is unkown.

See KJV 1 Peter 2:2

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

FYI

In my real life, I am eight years older than Quasimodo, so I may call him to a newborn babe.

by the way

Some lords are gracious, some are not... Same as on this site.

65 and counting backwards makes you a spring chickee in my book.

May you have many more! Or as a Jewish blessing goes, may you live to be 120.
