       Awww. Thanks!

jutta, Aug 10 2001
  

       Shouldn't that be the 4th halfbirthday?

angel, Aug 10 2001
  

       Here's half a croissant. [sorry, I ate the other half.]

UnaBubba, Aug 10 2001
  

       Half my bread is missing, so let them eat cake.

beauxeault, Aug 10 2001
  

       Everybody, sing!   

       "Half a birthday to you,
Half a birthday to you!
Half a birthday, dear Halfbakery,
Half a birthday to you!"

PotatoStew, Aug 10 2001
  

       Strange but true, it's also my farm's jockey's birthday...so as I read this, having just logged on today, I am eating cake with frosting and a horse on it.   

       Fortunately, the cake is not halfbaked so it it not half-bad although the frosting could do with half the sugar......   

       Croissant for the b-day of the 1/2 B, a big "thank you" to Jutta for giving us this slice of life, and a piece of cake to [hippo] for noticing and bringing this to our attention.

Susen, Aug 10 2001
  

       Happy birthday halfbakery and congratulations jutta on a job more than half done. Although its actually now the 11th (hey! it was a choice between logging on or drinking more beer. Some of us have a sense of priorities you know.)

DrBob, Aug 10 2001

El Pedanto, Aug 10 2001
  

       Big cake? Or small horse?

UnaBubba, Aug 11 2001
  

       Halfy Birthday To you
Halfy Birthday To You
Halfy Birthday Dear .5Bakery...
Halfy Birthday to yoooooou...
  

       Susen, shouldn't that be 'whicker'?

StarChaser, Aug 11 2001
  

       or (s)nicker..... I think horses whinney, neigh, and nicker.....as well as snort, trumpet, and blow.....   

       UB....really small horse...actually made out of plastic....about 1 hand high.   

       (Funny, when I told the lady at the Dairy Queen that I wanted an ice cream cake with a horse on it, she didn't give me all this trouble! At least El Pedanto isn't teasing me!)

Susen, Aug 11 2001
  

       (Belated) happy 1/2 Bday to bakery and bakeperson alike.

Dog Ed, Aug 13 2001
  

       Better late than never.   

       Outstanding job, [jutta].

Oops - I was sunning myself by a pool in Italy this year on 10th August, and failed to mark the occasion.
Belated birthday cheer to the Halfbakery!

hippo, Aug 27 2002
  

       What Dog Ed said (last time round) - cheers dear Bakesperson.

po, Aug 27 2002
  

       So the birth of HB has been revealed to us newbies: 8/10/99. Thanks, all (tear) for making it all possible, especially, our dear queen, [jutta].   

       ...any stale cake left for me?

XSarenkaX, Aug 27 2002
  

       Happy 17 day late Halfbakery 3rd birthday!

BinaryCookies, Aug 27 2002
  

       Happy third birthday Halfbakery. Thanks jutta for making it happen (and sticking with it for three years).

madradish, Aug 27 2002
  

       Thoroughly Babelfished Happy birthday song:

RayfordSteele, Aug 27 2002
  

       We should be able to vote each year on this one.

angel, Aug 28 2002
  

       Belated happy birthday wishes to the halfbakery (dear god I'm insane I'm, wishing well to a website), and congratulations [jutta] for managing to stave off madness all these years.

kaz, Aug 28 2002
  

       The HB has the same birthday as my mother. This is great - if I'm still wasting, sorry, *spending* time here in a year at least I won't forget her birthday. Or at least I'll find out I've forgotten it on the day. Actually, I only noticed this thread 17 days after it was posted...   

       Oh well, it would be an improvement anyway.   

       Congrats [jutta] - your baby is now entering its third year. There's something beautifully circular in the way that the HB is the best idea of all time.

sild, Aug 28 2002
  

       Hurray! Tomorrow marks my half-birthday on the halfbakery - 6 months already!

modular, Dec 17 2003
  

       15th? same as no 1 son. happy birthday Rods

po, Dec 17 2003
  

       Hippo Barfday, Tiger!

k_sra, Dec 17 2003
  

       I've yet to see Mr Branagh come up with the kind of amazing stuff that you have, [Rods] - maybe he's a late developer.

PeterSilly, Dec 18 2003
  

       HBD!

Posting this slightly early (not that early though if you live in NZ) as I'll forget otherwise:

Happy 5th Birthday!

hippo, Aug 09 2004
  

       Hip, Hippo, Hooray! (or "Hurrah!", depending upon your age, sex, land of origin, and literary predilection)

jurist, Aug 09 2004
  

       Now the 10th, at least here. Happy birthday bakery!   

       (Well remembered hippo. Do you have this marked on a calendar or something?)

RobertKidney, Aug 09 2004
  

       Excellent Half-Birthday Cake graphic.

hippo, Aug 10 2004
  

       Happy birthday HB! Thankyou Jutta! Having only found you a few short months ago and still being unable to keep up with the influx of new ideas, I am aghast at having to recap five years of input.

wagster, Aug 10 2004
  

       Ahh..lets see who can blow out the virtual candles!"Oh and thanks Jutta"

skinflaps, Aug 10 2004
  

       Nice cake. Don't know who ate half of it though <looks at ceiling and whistles> Well done Jutta.

Fishrat, Aug 10 2004
  

       Happy anniversary hb. Thanks & congratulations to jutta.

po, Aug 10 2004
  

       Happy 5th birthday! Top piece of cake for top, top corner of the Interweb.   

       (Does the 'bakery go to elementary/primary school this year?)

Jinbish, Aug 10 2004
  

       HB HB
Many thanks to the bakesperson and all the moderators.

gnomethang, Aug 10 2004
  

       Mmmmm! Cake!

Many thanks for all your efforts jutta. Put your feet up and have a nice cup of tea as a reward.

DrBob, Aug 10 2004
  

       Five years without a price bump or cost of living adjustment to the prix fixe menu. This must be the best bargain on the internet! For all you have created and so selflessly continue to give, thank you, Jutta.

jurist, Aug 10 2004
  

       Happy Birthday HB, and a big slice of cake for the Bakesperson and moderators.

spacemoggy, Aug 10 2004
  

       <wonders what jutta's birthday wish would be>
Thank you, jutta and the moderators.

calum, Aug 10 2004
  

       Thank you very much to Jutta and all her helpers. I've only arrived recently, but now find it hard to imagine life without the halfbakery. I love this place. Thanks again. Many happy returns.

Ichthus, Aug 10 2004
  

       what Ich. said.

dentworth, Aug 10 2004
  

      
Thanks for the cake, Jutta. Who sucked the middle out of my piece?

lintkeeper2, Aug 10 2004
  

       Cupcake! Yummy-cute!
Happy boithday! ;)

XSarenkaX, Aug 10 2004
  

       is it me or that everytime I look at that cake another bitesize piece has gone?

po, Aug 10 2004
  

       It's you, po - it's always you.

Ichthus, Aug 10 2004
  

       I thought the two-and-a-half candles was a nice Halfbaked touch.

lostdog, Aug 10 2004
  

       [lostdog] Nice. Actually I still can't work out whether it's a cleverly photoshopped photo or a drawing.

hippo, Aug 11 2004
  

       HB, HB!

xaviergisz, Aug 10 2006
  

       HBday, and thank you, Jutta, for a great deal of fun.

normzone, Aug 11 2006
  

       Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Three cheers for the Halfbakery, and to Jutta, its most obedient slave and master.
  

       ... An oasis of intense frivolity, dedicated to imagining the almost-possible!

csea, Aug 11 2006
  

       Doh! A day late...again!

DrBob, Aug 11 2006
  

       It's quite a few days for me... 8th Aug: my halfbirthday, 9th Aug: my birthday, 10th Aug: The Bakery's birthday. I'm all partied out.

wagster, Aug 11 2006

po, Aug 10 2007
  

       [Blows noisemaker] *toot* Wow, eight years. Thanks for sticking it out this long!

jutta, Aug 10 2007
  

       Coincidentally, I joined the 'bakery three years ago today. That means that in two years I will have been a member for half of it's existence. Keep on baking everyone!

wagster, Aug 10 2007
  

       Eight years! That is what, a century in internet time?

Galbinus_Caeli, Aug 10 2007
  

       //Thanks for sticking it out this long!//
No, thank *you*!

calum, Aug 10 2007
  

       Custard cake anyone?

hidden truths, Aug 10 2007
  

       oh, there you are, [hidden_truths]. i didn't see you standing back there...

k_sra, Aug 10 2007
  

       Thank you all, my extended half family.

normzone, Aug 10 2007
  

       What [normzone] just said. Happy Birthday HB, and cheers, half-bakers, for all the doses of illumination, inspiration and insanity you've provided over the past year!

imaginality, Aug 10 2007
  

       isn't [imaginality] and all our new friends just gorgeous

po, Aug 10 2007
  

       HB to the HB. Many half-y returns to Jutta, and to all the rest of you who make this place what it is!

lostdog, Aug 10 2007
  

       woof! write soon.

po, Aug 10 2007
  

       Happy b-day 'Bakery. I wonder why noone has posted a happy half-birthday idea on February 10th... Hmm...

acurafan07, Aug 10 2007
  

       // I wonder why noone //
There's a kind of hush...
  

       Many halfy returns!
