So is your humor.

It is dead. Let it go.

Nah, I get what you mean. I only wish Happy Birthday for the living and those I know.

It is dead. Let it go.

I wasn't trying to be funny. Just in general, wishing people that you don't know happy birthday is weird (like movie stars, athletes, etc.) but when you go a step further and wish a deceased person happy birthday that's on some other ish.

Yeah, I know what you mean, like whats with a billion people wishing Jesus a happy birthday (death-day actually), nuts

 

[Devil_666]

Who wishes Jesus a happy birthday!? Right, no one.

 

[Batty]

Mexicans don't celebrate birthdays? Damn.

Apparently I know nothing about Mexico or Canada.

Cheers, Jim!

We could do with a few more guys like him.

RIP, Mr. Henson. Easily one of the greatest entertainers of my lifetime. He created something wholly original and brilliant.

I couldn't agree more.

Well If It helps honor his memory and remind folks of his achievements when alive, well then imo It's all good.

You can remember a guy on his birthday or whenever, and though it's a bit arbitrary, it's a time that you can periodically remind yourself to remember a family member, a great entertainer, a person of historical importance, etc. So I think that's fine. But I also don't see much point in wishing a dead guy a happy birthday. Or a celebrity that won't ever read your post.
