Sweetie, we were going to honor and praise you, etc... but you weren't around so we had to improvise the best we could without you -- sort of like you were late for your own birthday party, so all your friends decided to go ahead and eat all the cake and ice cream in your absence out of sheer boredom. That's right, we're all terrible boors..... but, if pressed, we can behave ourselves.
Anyway, blow out your candles, Guv'nor......
