Birthday
Thursday, 09.27.07 @ 12:01AM 
Today, I am a year older. No, I’m not telling how old, but I’ll have a piece of cake, thankyouverymuch. And I’m not going to get too self-celebratory, because I did way more of that than I should last month at my Blogiversary. Instead, let’s celebrate all birthdays today! I mean, everybody’s got one, it’s just that I don’t know when yours is. Isn’t it special to have a personal holiday of your own each year? And having a large collection of them sure beats not having enough to get to this year!
Happy Birthday
I received an early birthday gift when Scaramouch published the Top Ten Stories by Miss Cellania at YesButNoButYes yesterday! Alex at Neatorama also posted it, as did Morgan Freeburg, PAgent, and Actor212, which I appreciate. I managed to sneak it in myself at mental_floss! Thanks so much for all the comments everywhere.
From the comments, I find that Dave, Floyd, and Sorcerer Mickey are also having birthdays today! Tom’s birthday is tomorrow. Even Google has a birthday theme on their logo today, because Google is nine years old! Also, I remember that today is Lizard’s little daughter’s birthday. Many happy returns to all of you!
Birthday greeting card.
Who shares your birthday? Here’s some folks who share mine! (via Grow-A-Brain)
Birthday Stars is a generator that will find a star whose distance matches your age in light years from earth. For example, if you are 28 years and 6 months old, it will find a star 28.5 light years away from earth. The light arriving now from “your” star was generated at the time of your birth. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, so these stars are very far away. (via the Presurfer)
I’ve never felt pressure over a birthday party, except toward the end when the kids get too rowdy, but if you have, then you need to see Birthdays Without Pressure.
THE PARTY CLOWN
(via Big Shot Bob in Texas)
A lady is giving a party for her granddaughter and has gone all out -caterer, band and a hired clown.
Just before the party starts, two bums show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman tells them that they can get a meal if they will chop some wood out back. Gratefully, they head to the rear of the house.
Guests arrive, and all is going well, with the children having a wonderful time. But, the clown has not shown up and finally, the clown calls to report that he is stuck in traffic and will probably not make the party at all.
The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to entertain the children herself. She happens to look out the window and sees one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree branches, does midair flips and leaps high in the air.
She speaks to the other bum and says, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing.
Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the
children at the party? I would pay him $50!"
Other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him." He then turned to Willie and yelled, "Hey Willie! For $50, would you chop off another toe?"
Birthday gone wrong. En Francaise. (Thanks, Eva!)

6 Observations on my 63rd Birthday. (via Grow-A-Brain)
Some people really hate the Baby Boomers.
WALK ON WATER
(via Big Shot Bob in Texas)
All of his life Ole had heard stories of an amazing family tradition.It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 21st birthday.
On that day, they'd walk across the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink. So when Ole's 21st birthday came around, he and his pal Sven took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Ole stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned!
Sven just barely managed to pull him to safety.
Furious and confused, Ole went to see his grandmother. "Grandma, it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake like my father, his father, and his father before him?"
Granny looked into Ole's eyes and said, "Because, you dummy, your father, grandfather and great-grand father were born in January; you were born in July.
