fracas

It has come to my attention that yet another birthday has arrived. This time it’s for the fruit of the elder papersurfer’s loins, that pleasant (not sure where he gets it from though) and yet talented king of the waves…

Papersurfer.

I’m not sure he’ll actually see this message though, for right now he and none other than tNb are off in foreign waters, galavanting (that really means surfing) to celebrate the fact that his birthday has arrived and he is oh… at least 53 years younger than the loins he was fruit of.  (Yes, you are correct, I do mean that GOG* we all know and ahem… tolerate.)

If you’ve been here before, you might know that when a fraccer has a birthday and I know about it, I find great joy in posting something special… something that speaks just to them, to convey my wishes for a birthday that’s as happy as a warm-fuzzy-slippers-on-a-cold-winter’s-night kind of day.

Of course, I went looking for a cake that would shout “Penfold… surfer extraordinaire” to the world, but as you can see, my first try went a bit awry.

I think the problem was in the spelling. Who’d have thought that a silly typo would still turn up a cake?  It was nice, but I wanted to find something more in line with what I was looking for.

A few more clicks and I surely had it.

I’m sure this one will do the trick Penfold, so from me to you… a most happiest of 40th birthdays. I know right now, you’re probably thinking you’re just the luckiest guy on earth.

Yeah, yeah folks… I didn’t mean the cake or the birthday wish, I was talking about this.

May you have many, many more (yeah, even as many as the GOG*)
