Happy Birthday! In 1997 this was the day President Clinton released his Kwanzaa message… “Hillary joins me in sending best wishes for a joyous Kwanzaa.” In 1999 Jennifer Love Hewitt was chosen as most kissable in Blockbuster Entertainment’s online “Mistletoe Match-up” survey (Brad Pitt won too). And in 2002 they were watching Bush closely cause this was the day after he got his smallpox revaccination. Also in 2002 the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced 600 layoffs. That was kind of bad timing I think. And in 2005 on this day we’d lost 2,161 soldiers in Iraq.
It was in part because of my birthday being so close to Christmas that my wife and mother-in-law insist on making at least a small fuss over it every year.
Seems I let slip to my wife that my parents always kind of skimped a little on birthdays (my brother’s is just a few days before mine). We’d each be allowed to pick one Christmas present from under the tree to open for our birthdays, and usually Mom would bake a cake too — but that would be about it.
That may be why, for example, office birthday parties where I’m the excuse for the thing don’t thrill me — I’m not used to that much fuss. But with family, or with good friends, well that’s different.
I have a (wonderful) Brother-in-law born on Christmas day. It took awhile, if I relate history correctly, for him to catch on that the wonders of the season were not soley for his benefit, in celebration of his arrival on earth. That must have been a bummer. Or maybe he was right the first time?
Happy Birthday. Birthdays only come once a year. Aren’t you glad you’re not a birthday?
Happy Day of Vaginal Expulsion.
Happy Birthday!
It’s like he’s Frosty.
Happy Birthday! May your head stop growing!

He’s got a first name, too, as it turns out.
You mean besides Mc? (Happy B’day, by the way.)
Will he give the cat back if we guess his name right?
Happy Birthday, McGehee! Like Zorba said, undo your belt and look for trouble!
Happy Birthday to ya, McGehee. And many happy returns.
Kevin, you don’t really celebrate these anymore, do you?
What she said…
Better watch those dangling participles~!
Happy birthday!
Well, ordinarily I wouldn’t, but I didn’t want to be churlish.
Happy fuckin’ birthday, McGehee. Hope it rawks.
Happy Birthday. um, I’m tipsy! yay!
– McGehee, I’d wish you a happy Bday, but this is My Bday too, and I’m fucking miserable enough about it as it is…
aw, is it because it’s too close to Christmas?

Happy birthday to the proud possessor of the most commented-upon hairline in the blogosphere!

Then you’d better be sure to hit those After-McGehee Day sales.
