This time is kind of a special birthday. Not because it's an anniversary, but because of the person.

Not only is he an employee at Stardock but he's also an extremly fun guy.
Always ready with a smart/quick remark no matter how serious a conversation may be.
Always ready to cheer you up if you're down - and he succeed every time.

Me and koop have had many a cheerfull converstion on the Stardock IRC.

A couple quotes, from the 'Life of koop' on IRC:

-<WolfoxBR> koop: you're a Stardockian, right?
-<@koop> On my mother's side...

-<koop> "im so glad i was an only child" My brother used to say that all the time.

-<@koop> I want to have a t-shirt that says "Be careful what you say, I'm logging this."

-@koop can't skin, but I play a 1337 Hax0r on IRC

-<Snowman> Quickest birth ever I think..... from they arrived at the hospital till she was delivered: 51 min....
-<koop> Wow...pizza takes longer

I'm very happy to say this, and hope to do it many, many, many times more:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY!!
