@ Chuck:
(And dangit, those socks are *not* older than me — I’ve got four years. I have seniority!

Damn. (Carry 1980 from 2010, carry the one…shit)

Yeah, you’re right. Maybe I’m older than I thought (as evidenced by my deteriorating math skills) and you just looked younger in comparison.

Either way, happy birthday.

On this most exalted of days, what the hell are you doing answering all these people? Just take their (our) well wishes and turn your nose up at them (us), good sir. Today, if no other day, you reserve the right to be an elitist asshole and not talk to the (we) poor plebes here in the Internet World.

As for the genetic seed, good luck. I wouldn’t advise tic tacs as a replacement for birth control pills. First off, they’re not the right shape and secondly, birth control pills do not have a minty flavour. Try Zoloft: even if she notices you’ve replaced her pills, she’ll be too Zen to care.

Eggs on burgers are fantastic. There’s a burger at the local Irish pub, salt hill, called The Jake: a burger with cheddar, bacon, and a fried egg on top. It is divine. It is why pigs give us bacon and lay eggs.

It is also what gets me through every Tuesday, even though I almost never order it. The thing is, Liz and I go to salt hill every Tuesday, and every Tuesday I say to myself, “Self, I feel like having a Jake tonight”. And then I go and look at the menu and when I pick something else — no matter what it is, like pork rinds covered in chili and cheese — that something else is inherently healthier and more virtuous than the Jake. And therefore I win. And can have an extra Guinness.

@Gina: I expect you to Fed Ex me ice cream cake. I mean, I won’t eat it. But I want to see the look on the Fed Ex guy’s face.

@Amy: Well, you don’t *look* older, if it’s any consolation. Don’t grow a beard.

@DeAnna: Thanky!

Wait. I’m OLDER than you?! How the crap can that be?!

Happy Birthday, Chuck. Huzzah on having a great 33rd year. Here’s to making 34 even better.

*holds up glass*

My birthday ritual: I call my mom and thank her for putting up with me.

Happy Birfday, Mr. Chuck! You know what this means, don’t you? It means you’re always going to be older than me. Like, always and forever, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Neener neener neeeenerrrr!

At any rate, I am right this very moment enjoying a piece of DQ ice cream cake in your honor. You wanna know the becuz why? It’s cuz I’m effing psychic, that’s why. I was prepared for this.

Actually, the cake was from yesterday when my place of business celebrated me for being an awesome freaking “Administrative Professional” *snort* but you know – semantics and all that.

Have a good one, Chuck, and I look forward to following you (closely – seriously. really closely. stop picking your nose. i saw that.) during your 34th year.

@Jen:

Sold! (And thanks.)

Dinner won’t be till Saturday, when we can go early and stay late. Tonight will be fairly tepid, but nicely so: baking cookies, The Wire, and a little NBC comedy programming.

Happy Birthday. Have a nice time at dinner–eat and drink waaaaaay too much. Have a slobbering, crotch-scratching, sandy-eyed monster hang-over tomorrow to show the world how happy your birthday was.
