Happy Birthday Mr Pratchett, hope it's a good one and that you don't
get too many birthday bumps! By the way I bought you a cake and was
going to send it to you, but it was way too big to go in the post.
*stuffs face*

Birthdays on this group are announced by a gang of ferrets
known as the Cannon Crew. They don't normally make an
appearance for specific birthdays, but they sometimes do so
for Pterry.

Yeah, the Skippies. One would think there'd be a special appearance for
that occasion. ;)

(Paul comes up to Murphy, the handsome Sable ferret in the RCMP uniform,
Sammy, the DEW with the yarmulke, and Max, the other Sable ferret in a
wheelchair. The three ferrets are kibitzing over the shoulder of a fourth
ferret in coveralls - Skippy, of the crack team of mechanics. Skippy is
working on his laptop and is getting increasingly frustrated.)
Paul: Excuse me, guys, but we've got a special birthday to salute here. I
hope I'm not interrupting.
Murphy: Oh, hi, sir! We've been busy offering dating advice to Skippy.
Paul: Dating advice?
Max: Yessir! He's met this foreign jill online. They've been corresponding
for months now, and they think it's time for a RealLife meeting.
Skippy: Look, guys, I don't *need* dating advice! (Points to screen, with
map of Turkey.) What I *need* is help with Mapquest(TM). She told me she
lives in Constantinople, but I can't find it anywhere!
(Paul, Murphy, Sammy and Max look at one another.)
Max: Um, Skip, we've got news for you. It's no wonder you can't find the
place. Y'see, Istanbul was Constantinople.
Murphy: True. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.
Skippy: What? When did this happen!?
Sammy (shrugs): Been a long time gone, Constantinople.
Paul: Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.
Max: Every gal in Constantinople,
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople.
Murphy: So if you've a date in Constantinople,
She'll be waiting in Istanbul.
(Skippy is only half-listening. He keeps typing like mad on the computer.)
Paul: You know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
Murphy: Really? Why'd they change it?
Paul: I can't say.
Sammy: People just liked it better that way.
Skippy: Stupid website! Where was the page I was at? So take me back to
Constantinople!
Sammy: No, you can't go back to Constantinople.
Been a long time gone, Constantinople.
Murphy: Does anyboy know? Why did Constantinople get the works?
Paul: That's nobody's business but the Turks.
(A haunting wail wafts through the air, reminiscent of Arabia, not to
mention frustrated users.)
Skippy (looking at Murphy): Istanbul?
Murphy (nodding): Istanbul.
(More wailing.)
Max (thoughtfully to Sammy): Istanbul.
Sammy (sagely): Istanbul.
Murrphy: Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it I can't say.
Sammy: It's like I said. People just liked it better that way!
(Skippy, fed up, pounds the keyboard. Off to one side, the printer beeps and
spits out a sign: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, PTERRY!)
Skippy (practically shouting at his laptop): So take me back to
Constantinople!
Sammy (patiently): No, you can't go back to Constantinople.
Paul: Been a long time gone, Constantinople.
Murphy: Okay, to keep the rhythm up. Why did Constantinople get the works?
Paul, Murphy, Sammy and Max (in four-point harmony): That's nobody's
business but the Turks.
Skippy: Ah! There it is! Constaninople!
Murphy: What?! Let's see... (Looks at screen.) Skippy, that's a map of
Texas.
Skippy: Texas?! Constaninople is in Texas? Hm. I thought it was odd that a
Turkish jill began her e-mail with "Howdy". Oh, well, thanks, guys! I'm off
to make airplane reservations. (Gets up and hurries off. Before he leaves,
he looks back.) Still going to a foreign country.
Paul, Murphy, Sammy and Max (look at another, shrug, then do the boffo
finish): Istanbul...
Paul (who is *positive* there's a Constaninople somewhere in Texas!)

Hope the date goes well :-))
