Happy Birthday.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 6:48 pm #
Jeez. That LensCrafters dude is back with his satin-collared smoking jacket on again and his unbuttoned shirt collar. And he still hasn’t shaved and he just leers and leers and then if you refresh he goes away. Disturbing. oh. Happy birthday Mr. Goldstein! Tomorrow I mean. For my birthday I’m having red velvet cake for sure. It’s my new favorite. But that’s not for awhile.
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 6:53 pm #
I’m not seeing it Happy. I’ve got some “Third Jihad” documentary thing. The lenscrafters dude is from Detroit ( I think) so I’ve prollyl endured enough of him during my lifetime.

Happy, have you ever had Italien Creme Cake? OMG, it’s the best. It’s a billion calories a piece (900 or something) but it’s wonderful. Best. Cake. Eva.

Happy Birthday!
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 6:57 pm #
Oh, and Happy b-day Jeff.
Here’s a link to the recipe: Italian Creme Cake . It’s important you use good coconut. That that nasty dried-out stuff.
Comment by Joe on 1/31 @ 6:58 pm #
Well here is another guy who is going to lose some ad revenue too. Although it does help to explain his appetite.
And red velvet cake is good stuff. Especially after a little…well just say no.
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 7:00 pm #
Not that…
I’ve only had two glasses of wine.

Just for you on this special day: Creamy Parsnip Soup.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 7:04 pm #
Italian Cream Cake… I will look and see if maybe I can pick one up. Pretty sure I’ve never had. I wouldn’t venture to make one myself though. But it definitely looks like a cake I wouldn’t kick out of bed.
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 7:09 pm #
It’s not hard. I’m not much of a baker … I can, but I really have to concentrate, and I turn out a good one.
I know my mil found one at Sams or Costco … but it wasn’t as good. Home made, it’s exceptionally good.
My FIL didn’t like coconut, so my mil could never put that in it. When he passed away, we could finally enjoy the cake in all it’s glory.

Happy Birthday Jeff!
As we say at our church, God grant you many years, many blessed years.
Comment by Dan Collins on 1/31 @ 7:13 pm #
You really miss your fil, don’t you, Carin? ;-P
Comment by Joe on 1/31 @ 7:16 pm #
Try this on your birthday!
That will wake you up better than a double expresso shot.
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 7:20 pm #
Well, I always resented that he wouldn’t let us have the Italian creme cake in all it’s glory ;)
He passed away while on vacation. We should all be that lucky.
(he had a long-term heart condition, and exceeded expectations for survival so that’s a good thing.)
That said, he could have let us enjoy a bit of coconut every now and then during his life. It is a bit boring w/o it. Really, no point to it.

Happy Birthday, Jeff.
Comment by Dan Collins on 1/31 @ 7:30 pm #
A day without coconut is like a . . . aw, I might as well kill myself.
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 7:31 pm #
You joke, Dan, but once you’ve had Italian Creme Cake in all it’s glory … you won’t be thinking it’s all so funny.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 7:33 pm #
Coconut has lots of fiber.
Comment by router on 1/31 @ 7:41 pm #
Tom Hanks didn’t like too much coconut in some film I saw.
Comment by serr8d on 1/31 @ 8:17 pm #
Happy Birthday, Jeff, but be forewarned…they do get pesky after awhile.
I’ll knock back a nice draught of Grey Goose in your honor.
Skoal!

So you can have your cake and….remain regular?
HF, you are right on the Red Velvet Cake. Must be a southern thing.
Happy Birthday Jeff.

happy birthday.
i hope you nearly kill a tenured radical during an impromptu catch wrestling panel at the next MLA.
Comment by McGehee on 1/31 @ 10:46 pm #
I’ll bet Jeff can blow out all the candles on his cake just by flaring one nostril while standing in the other room.

Groundhogs got feminine hygiene products?

It’s tomorrow! Yay and happy birthday, Jeff.
Comment by Warren Bonesteel on 1/31 @ 11:35 pm #
Hey! Jeff can’t do birthdays!
He’s an outlaw!
Outlaws don’t have birthdays. They don’t do birthdays cakes, either.
Of course, if his wife is a pirate…
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 1/31 @ 11:45 pm #
I thought that pirate was born on February 29?
Comment by SarahW on 2/1 @ 12:01 am #
Well, I guess it’s eleven o’ clock in Colorado. But it’s tomorrow here.
Comment by SarahW on 2/1 @ 12:02 am #
Outlaws do Cupcakes.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 2/1 @ 12:08 am #
It’s always tomorrow somewhere. It’s like 5:00 that way, I think.
Comment by Topsecretk9 on 2/1 @ 12:59 am #
Happy Birthday Mr. Jeff. I miss you lots, but will always be a faithful PW’er and hope you have a great day day.
Comment by cjd on 2/1 @ 1:12 am #
Mine was 3 days ago, Jeff. Happy Birfday to us!

so what? You gotta be a chick and celebrate birthday “week” or something?
Comment by Topsecretk9 on 2/1 @ 2:02 am #
cjd
that was an attempt (lame? sure) at a joke, was not even trying to be mean.
Comment by cjd on 2/1 @ 2:08 am #
TSK9,
No worries, I’m drunk anyway. Hopefully you, Jeff, and all the other PW’s are too.

I think Mark Steyn called us all punks.
Sweet.
Happy Birthday dude.
Don’t touch Carin’s coconuts.
Comment by Cowboy on 2/1 @ 4:33 am #
I miss all the best PW parties…there was cake and wine, people were drunk, Carin had her coconuts out…
And I’m sittin’ here drinking cold coffee at 5 in the morning because I can’t sleep.
Story of my life. Oh well, happy b-day, JG!
Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 2/1 @ 4:44 am #
You have coffee Cowboy!?
I knew I needed something to put my bourbon in.
Wait…
It’s 5:00am there?
Ah, shit. I’m gonna need a juice box and a nap.

Many happy returns, and may you have more birthdays ahead of you than you have already put behind…
Comment by Swen Swenson on 2/1 @ 11:13 am #
Happy B-Day! And many more (you’ll make a great curmudgeon, I’d bet)!
Comment by B Moe on 2/1 @ 11:24 am #
Happy Day, Jeff. Mine is Friday, come down to Athens and we will get fucked up and work on my new car.
Comment by Great Mencken's Ghost! on 2/1 @ 11:29 am #
Happy birthday, Jeff!
Maybe this will be of use to you in light of the recent unpeasantness….
Comment by Great Mencken's Ghost! on 2/1 @ 11:30 am #
UnPLeasantness… no offense to Dennis.
Comment by happyfeet on 2/1 @ 11:33 am #
GMG! You’ve been scarce I think. But then me too kinda. Hi.
Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 2/1 @ 11:49 am #
I dunno…”unpeasantness” kinda works.
Me no wise.
Me no vote for the Obama.
But me no peasant.
Me unpeasant.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 2/1 @ 11:52 am #
Happy Birthday, Jeff. Maybe you’ll be able to snap someone’s leg today.
I’d volunteer, but I don’t think I’m that good a friend to anyone.

Happy Birthday, Jeff (Today!)
Comment by Joe on 2/1 @ 12:14 pm #
I do not want to depress you, but here some career paths for writers in Colorado:
1) Move to Aspen. Make Friends with Johnny Depp. Kill yourself at the end of football season. Be shot out of a canon.
2) Hole up in Estes Park. Write a commerically successful fictional story about writer’s block and being tempted to kill your own family–and getting past it. Have a producer/director buy the right then make a movie that is arguably better than the book but changes the story and have that bug the crap out of you for the rest of your life.
3) There must be an option 3.

“1) Move to Aspen. Make Friends with Johnny Depp. Kill yourself at the end of football season. Be shot out of a canon. ”
I miss Hunter Thompson too.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 2/1 @ 1:01 pm #
Hmm… Colorado. So that would be a Western Canon, then? :-)
Comment by Joe on 2/1 @ 1:08 pm #
Maybe it was a Canon camera. My bad.
Comment by Joe on 2/1 @ 1:14 pm #
There is always meet a rich miner in Leadville. Get married. Burn your money in the cabin stove. Have your husband find a much richer strike. Move to Denver. Survive the sinking of the Titanic. Have a musical written about you and have Debbie Reynolds play you in the movie.
Comment by ushie on 2/1 @ 2:00 pm #
Happy Birthday, Jeff. May the road rise before you…wait, wouldn’t that make it more difficult? The Irish are peculiar.
Comment by Joe on 2/1 @ 2:04 pm #
You could do some crude animation of fourth graders in a fictional Colorado town. Get a gig on ComedyCentral. Make friends with Andrew Sullivan. Make a movie that mocks Hollywood and Kim Il Jong with puppets…
I can already tell this story will end like Option 1, nevermind.
Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 2/1 @ 2:08 pm #
But…Joe.
I’m so ronrey.
And fuck that Hans Brix guy.

Happy Birthday, you sick twisted freak.
It’s still Sunday in my time zone, so this isn’t belated or anything.
Oh, and folks? Jeff has patchouli oil on his Amazon wish list. Looks like we’ve got ourselves a stealth hippie here, trying to pass as an OUTLAWâ„¢.

Jeff has patchouli oil on his Amazon wish list.
IIRC, he was planning to use that as one element of his disguise for the Democratic Convention.
Comment by Jeff G. on 2/2 @ 12:45 pm #
Indeed.
I went with “smoke a lot of weed” instead, though. Which somehow wound up making me smell like Funyons.
Probably because of all the Funyons I ate. I blame the transitive property.
