Happy birthday!I hope you get what you really want...a naked Jimmy Kimmell popping out of your birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Paul. Is the low age of consent the reason you moved to KY?
Posted by Malcolm on Nov. 26 2007,10:18
Drink. Heavily. Pass out. Then drink more. Let's see, how's that traditional blessing of my people go? Oh, yes.May your hangover not impede the next day's drinking.

Birthday threads should be polls from now on with:Happy
Better than average
Sucky
etc
as the options.

Long weekend, but enjoyable. Then...Monday my daughter woke up jumping up and down on her bed, excited that it was my birthday. I ate one piece of Sees Candy for breakfast, but it ended up being the fruit-kind which I dislike. I stubbornly ate it anyway, even though that vile thing killed my appetite.
I took my daughter to school and she announced to everyone in the hall that it was my birthday, including the fat little boy who keeps pointing me out and telling me that I'm tall.
Went out of town to replace a PCI RAID controller and while I did that one of the hard drives crapped out. This was a medical facility BTW. I worked on it until that night, but had another emergency call at a liquor store after that so instead of going home I had to fix their VPN problem. (Thank goodness it was an easily correctable IP problem).
The owner made me wait there until she went home and tested it though.
When I got home my wife and kid were asleep, so I played poker to unwind and had my biggest loss in a month.
Happy birthday to me.
Spent all day 9:00-9:00 at the same place yesterday, restoring crap and reinstalling crap. The State inspectors picked yesterday to give them a surprise inspection as well, so that added to the fun. But at least I took a 30 minute break.
Today I went home to meet the real estate guy (we're selling some land) and cracked my head on the hatchback door. Then I went int he house and my wife's wreath fell on my head on the same spot where I hit the door.
When it hit the floor some bulbs broke.
When I spiked the wreath a lot more bulbs broke... and I cut my hand.
I cleaned up most of the glass, met the real estate guy, then went back home and cleaned up more glass.
This morning at work I got really mudding fixing a network problem at the par, and spend the rest of the time at the police station doing maintenance there. Lots o' fun.
My week has been like Malcolm's life.
Posted by TheCatt on Nov. 28 2007,08:27
Wow. If that's better than average....
Posted by GORDON on Nov. 28 2007,08:54
Let me rephrase: you know the wife boobytrapped the wreath to hurt you on purpose, right?
Posted by Paul on Nov. 28 2007,09:00
For the first few seconds it seemed like the wreath was a trap.I had to open the back of the car because she left uncovered Christmas presents back there which begged to be stolen and that kept sliding around every time I made a turn. So she must have planned me bumping my head both times.
I could have sworn those bulbs on the wreath were plastic. I didn't notice that one broke when it fell until I cut my hand when I spiked it... breaking a bunch of others.

Perhaps this is why we have never had a HBP thread.Hope next year is better!
Posted by Paul on Nov. 28 2007,12:11
Everything's getting better.Either that, or I'm in the eye of the hurricane.

Happy Birthday Paul!I've had some of the same problems lately. Such as the score for last week. Deer 4 Unkbill 0. Saw the biggest deer I have ever seen and the only thing I killed last week was time.
Posted by Paul on Dec. 03 2007,06:10
Had my party last night.Much beer was consumed.
My toe... I need to find pictures.
Posted by Paul on Dec. 07 2007,13:43
They guy who loaned me the house jack (that fell on my toe) is married to a woman who makes cakes.
He even brought the house jack over.

The little white dude is part of the Toeliban.
There was also a shot glass made out of fondant. I took a shot of whiskey from it, and took a bite out of the glass.
Posted by GORDON on Dec. 07 2007,14:00
You seem to enjoy smashing the shit out of your toes.
Posted by Paul on Dec. 07 2007,20:21
I only smashed it the once.I knew I was getting a theme cake. I just thought it would be poker based. When I first saw the toe cake I thought it was some sort of Frankenstein iPod.
Posted by GORDON on Dec. 07 2007,20:39
I distinctly remember a smashed to shit toe on VSCorner several years ago.
Posted by Paul on Dec. 08 2007,06:48
That's what this was based on. My sixth toe, which happened many years ago.
Posted by GORDON on Dec. 08 2007,09:36
Jesus, that's a long running joke around there.You people need some new humor.
Posted by Paul on Dec. 08 2007,21:48
Well, you missed out on all the threatening notes I kept sending the guy who loaned me the jack. It really made an impression on him. It was a lot more complex than I bothered to mention here. I can be pretty creative when I want to be.I mean, despite what I show here, I can do other things besides gay jokes.
So when my wife hired his wife to make a cake, the toe was the first thing they came up with.

Totally stealing the teen pregnancy cake for the poker forum I'm on.
Posted by GORDON on Nov. 26 2011,13:46
This morning the forum said you were 23, and now it says you are 80. You must have that disease where you are gay.Also happy birthday.
Posted by Paul on Nov. 26 2011,14:37
Is there an injection you can give me to cure me of the gay?Or is there a pill I can swallow? (Actually, I'd prefer a suppository.)
Posted by TheCatt on Nov. 26 2011,15:19
Found one, Happy Birthday, Paul!
Posted by GORDON on Nov. 26 2011,15:22
Is that one of those 5 foot sticks?
Posted by Paul on Nov. 26 2011,16:04
Yeah, and the little slashes between the numbers are millifeet.
Posted by unkbill on Nov. 26 2011,16:55
Happy Birthday Paul.

I couldn't see how big it was because they where behind me the entire time.

If you gotta be in a train, you want to be the caboose. Life lesson.
Posted by Paul on Nov. 28 2013,16:14
Oh. So this is one of those "it is better to give than to receive" things?
Posted by GORDON on Nov. 28 2013,17:33
That's for you to decide.
Posted by GORDON on Nov. 26 2014,14:10

Drink.
Posted by Paul on Nov. 27 2015,15:32
Thanks.Drank some IPA I wasn't fond of (plenty of bitter, but not much flavor). I popped a "miracle fruit" pill to see what that would do to it and it made the beer sweet, which I didn't like either.

Flavour tripping with the miracle berry? Been thinking about doing that.

Eat a lemon after popping one. Supposed to be freaky.

Yeah, TheCatt. That's what I had. It was a different brand though.
I've had lemon juice with them. It tastes like the lemonade concentrate.
I bought some miracle fruit pills a couple years ago, and last December the Cards Against Humanity gift thingy (Twelve Days of Kwanzika?) gave some out as well.
There are YouTube videos of people trying various foods with them.
