Happy Birthday Cliffordu
I have never met Cliffordu but I feel like I have known him since junior high. When I am on a long trip he sometimes sits next to me in the car in the same way that Dexter's father travels with him. I remember some of his witty comments and chuckle through the long drive.

Cliffordu came to my attention when his signature line included something to the effect that last year Cliffordu spent less than $ 100 on gas.

Cliffordu likes his bike.

In time he grew on me like a benign neck tumor. You know the one that looks like it is a an award winning giant egg plant.

If you are ever down Cliffodu will give you a DU bear hug.


Cliffordu is a survivor.

In Vietnam he survived living in this tower



Later in life he survived other hard places.



He posted this picture he took showing some friends that he used to hang with in the past.

Obviously hanging out in DU he has had to lower his standards to hang with us but we are grateful that he isn't so picky.



Clifford is a winner.

He has been fighting to keep straight and focused. Today the score will be Cliffordu 8,653 Demons 0. (23 years 8 months and 7 days)


Ruben, Jerry, Danny, Corey, John Henry, Steve, Mac, Paul and Me are all cheering you on.





You ungrateful bastard.

1. Well, shit, grantcart.
Thanks.

You're still a hoser. And you still owe me that $3.85 Pay up or the teddy bear gets it...

(My wife inherited a car a couple of months ago - I am now motoring around like there's no fucking tomorrow. )

17. My hubby and I went to a town hall with Cliffordu
He's quite the rabblerouser. We went inside like dutiful little lambs and he stayed outside to, um, engage some teabaggers in um, intelligent debate. Well, at least he's intelligent. Happy Birthday Cliffordu.

10. I have my sources...
The Bush Justice Department tried hard to get me to divulge them. Not only did I win that battle, but I forced Gonzo out of his job in the process. I'd have taken on the rest of his cabinet too, if the right-leaning Supreme Court had only ruled that the Dictator-Tot was entitled to two more terms just to balance out FDR. History is a series of missed opportunities.

20. Well, Happy Birthday!
I learned interesting facts about a fellow DUer that I never would have known. I'd be too embarrassed to be put on the spot like that :)

21. Definitely recommended!
Clifford is among the very best examples of the people I know, without ever having "met." I have the utmost respect for him. I count myself as lucky to have the opportunity to fight The Good Fight on the same team as him.

28. your posting today gives me another reason to be thankful

Hope Mrs. H2O Man is feeling well.

It was neat to hear from your kids in the past few days, although wish it was under better circumstances.


Oh and by the way if your feeling like getting up and doing something strenuous, don't sit back down and rest.


DU needs you to pound furiously on your keys for the next few weeks until the doctor says your 100%.

32. Happy birthday sweetheart!
FWIW I always thought Cliffordu and Grantcart were brothers....because they are inseparable :-)

(Or is that insufferable? ;-) )
