Happy birthday to me!

Sparky is making me a black forest cake to celebrate my 50th.

Eighty five

Happy 85th birthday to Sparky's dad. He shares a birth year with Mel Brooks, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Lewis, Y. A. Title, and Roger Corman.

Big chicken and I...

...want to wish all those who were born on this day a very happy birthday.

The hard truth

The other day Sparky asked me if I wanted candles on my birthday cake. I said, "Sure, but you don't have to put thirty nine candles on there or anything like that."

She said, "Oh, don't worry. I wasn't about to thirty nine candles on it."

Ouch. Busted.

Happy birthday!

Two fabulously talented and hubba hubba brunettes are celebrating birthdays today:

Martine McCutcheon

and

Sofia Coppola.

Happy birthday to you both!

Happy Birthdays!

Happy birthday wishes go out today to a couple of the most important people in my life.

It's my friend and brother from another mother Todd Covert's birthday today!
Todd is one of the finest improv guys on the planet. He's a damn fine guitarist as well. And he makes me laugh like nobody else can. Happy birthday you bastard!


And as luck would have it, it's also Sparky's birthday today too!
Your chocolate cake won't be as fancy as the one above honey, but it'll be good nonetheless. Happy birthday sweetie! And thanks for putting up with me for another year.

Yay June 25th!

Endorsements for McCain and birthday wishes for me have come pouring in in the last few hours

The evil clones of Oliver Willis that the RNC has made have refused to endorse McCain as of yet but they have approved this message, "Happy birthday Dr. Monkey, you old white dude you."

The O'Keefe brothers shouted during a lull in their constant fighting that they endorse McCain but they refused to wish me a happy birthday. The little Irish bastards, I'll get them, I swear I will!

Jan, the disembodied head lady, just wishes she had a body. She could care less about me or McCain.
Offset duplicator has come out for McCainbut early '60's photo copier has decided to just wish me a happy 46th birthday.

Rocky Hansen, Juvenile Deliquent of the year, has come out for McCain.
"McCain bought me a pack of smokes. And he bought me some of that hard lemonade shit. I'm buzzing like crazy on the nicotine and the alky-hall. The old fart also said that if he got elected he'd get me a hooker so that I could touch her boobies and stuff. So hell yeah, I'm endorsing him. What have you ever done for me monkey breath?"

So take that Obama campaign, not so big with your Colin Powell endorsment now are you?

Now here's a word from the sock monkey witch

Dr. Monkey's birthday is next Monday, act accordingly. Oh yeah, his running mate Kristi's birthday is the same day, crazy huh?

Thanks

Sparky wants to thank everyone who wished her a happy birthday. She loved all your comments, well wishes, and her birthday cake. She also wanted me to tell you that today is her brother's birthday, so if you're in Texas and you run across him tell him, "Happy birthday!"
Lil' Sparky and her brother when they were kiddies.

That Ace of Cakes dude had better watch his ass

I made Sparky's cake today and here's how it went:

I started with a Devil's Food cake mix, some dark chocolate frosting and a jar of seedless raspberry fruit spread. I mixed the cake mix up according to directions and then I put the batter in the pans.

Check out the fancy new countertops. When the oven was ready I baked the cake and then when it was done I took it out and let it cool for a few hours.

After a few anxious moments getting the cakes out of the pans I began the next phase. I put the best of the cakes, that would be the one that did not have a little piece broken off, on the bottom and then I spread the fruit spread on top. Then I gingerly laid the other cake on top, worked the little broken piece in, and I frosted it in place. Then I frosted the rest of the cake. And taa daa, here's how it turned out:
Not the most beautiful cake in the world but it will be tasty nonetheless. We'll cut it later after we get back from dinner out and maybe we'll watch the DVD copy of The Door in the Floor I got her for her birthday, or perhaps she'll read the new David Sedaris book I got her while I incessantly change the channels on TV until The Daily Show comes on or until I decide to start watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO On Demand.

Pop Quiz

What do the guy who wrote this book,

Ricky Gervais,

leather faced chef turned annoying TV host Anthony Bourdain,

stunning songstress Carly Simon,

former French Open champion Albert Costa,and my friend Todd have in common?

They all share Sparky's birthday! Yes, it's that time of year again, so please be so kind as to wish Sparky a happy birthday today!

I'll be making her a chocolate cake that may or may not look like this:
Thanks for putting up with me honey, I love you. And happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Fran!

Mr. and Mrs. Rusty O'Connell

and my running mate and I would like to wish FranIAm a happy birthday.

Even though you endorsed the iSplotchy for President, we all chipped in and bought you this cake, because we're nice like that. That's how we roll.

Happy Birthday Becca!

A little frog told me it's your birthday today Becca so I went out and got you something.

I know it's not cake but I bet you'll enjoy this more, wink, wink.

Be nice and go wish Becca a happy birthday on her blog and while your at it, ask her to start posting again. She's one of the bloggers who inspired me to start this blog so it's only fair she gets back up on the blog pony.

Happy birthday to one of the coolest chicks I know!

45 years ago

On this day 45 years ago a very pregnant working class housewife with a bad heart left her four small children in the care of others and she went to Martin Place West hospital in Detroit. As the rain poured down outside she gave birth to me, the last of the brood.
That's me barefoot, smiling, and happy to be alive one year later.

It's been quite the trip to get from the housing projects of Detroit to where I am today. I'm glad to still be around and I hope to be around for another 45 years.
In the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy my birthday cake. Mmmmm, German chocolate cake, mmmmmmmmm.

Happy Birthday D Cup!

I think it may be D Cup's birthday today. These five busty gals and I are going over to wish her a happy one. Maybe you will too when you get the time! I may go into a diabetic coma what with eating all the cake for Barb's birthday and now D Cup and then mine's coming up in 9 days. October born people rule!

Roll on over

And wish my favourite (see I can spell like a civilized person!) Canadian Barb a happy birthday. She turns, or has turned depending on when you read this, 29 again today. Yay! Happy birthday my little Calgary blog buddy.


Look, I made you a cake!
Happy birthday zombie gal and I hope you have many many more.

Don't ya'll tell no one but a certain liberal blogger whose initials is Liberality is having a birthday on 10-2-07. Don't ya'll dare tell her Ah sent yuns over to wish her a good 'un. Maybe if she has a good birthday then she'll ease up on me and mah warmongerin' bloodthirsty greedy as hell homeez. Ah hell, who'm Ah kiddin'? That gal dislikes me as much as Ah dislike poor people and mooslems.

Someone is having a birthday today

Former beauty queen, TV sportscaster, Muppet fondler, and first lady of Kentucky, Phyllis George is having a birthday today.



Smokin' hot singer Carly Simon's birthday is today too.

If Eric "George Orwell" Blair was alive today he'd be celebrating his birthday too. He'd party like it was 1984.

Space mom and Lassie owner June Lockhart is also having a birthday today.

Filmmaker Sidney Lumet is celebrating the day of his birth today as well.

The pot smoking half of Wham is also having a birthday today. George, have faith baby, you're career will bounce back. Maybe.

My buddy Todd's birthday is also today. He turns 50, I think. I could be wrong though, but I doubt it.

But lastly and most important of all, my girlfriend's birthday is today. She'd kill me if I put her picture on here, and she may kill me for even doing this, but what the heck. Happy Birthday Honey Bun. You're the best.
