I has a birthday.

Were geography no issue there would be good times to be had by all.

There would be beer

Speaking to the Irish in me some of it would have to be that good ol' Dublin stout.



In my extended clan, whenever there is a gathering where there is also beer you can expect a few of these to be lying around. In the words of the great Jeffery Rowland, "since it's hot all the time in Mexico they know how to make beer that cools you off better, and since they have a lot of problems in Mexico they now how to make beer that makes you feel okay"



And also a nod to the resident brewmasters of Boston (ok so the bottling plant is actually in Ohio but we're laying claim because we said so)



As for the other stuff, I would be remiss not to stock a certain someone's favorite spirit.



And the hell there won't be some uisce beatha (bonus to anyone who knows what that means without looking it up) up ins



And to complete the necessary carbomb ingredients, here



Further requests can be carried out as from where I sit right now there are at least three packeys within an easy jog.

Now far be it from me to suggest that the whole affair is in the bottles. My original plan involved bowling. I think every kid I knew growing up had at least one birthday party at the local bowling alley. This, however, would be significantly more interesting. White Russians are the order of this portion of the festivities and The Big Lebowski will be quoted until it stops being funny. (You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. With nail polish.)

After that? I dunno... karaoke? I had a sudden urge to do something like ask for people to post what song(s) they'd do but for some reason that doesn't sound like something I'd say. whatever. In any case I'd probably do something by Cake. Probably "Love you Madly"

Yeah so basically this post is a sham. A cheap trick of the light designed to convey the imaginary significance of the date and yet still have something that appears to be substance. But I hope you haven't been fooled. Otherwise it would have worked and I'm writing this retraction for no reason; probably making a total ass of myself in the process. In any case, I'm done with this now.

Later, all. I'm proud to have been here in this virtual space with such great people for this long (oh geez this is the third birthday of mine that's passed on this blog). There aren't many of you here, but I'd like to think that you're the right people. That is the excuse I'm going to use for my utter failure to promote this piece of web =P.
