You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

My wish for you, shrift, is that in the course of your birthday celebrations you do not encounter the kind of thinks-he's-funny person like the waiter at my 29th bday dinner who would not believe that I was turning 29 "for the first time." ONLY time, dude!

That happened to me too

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"Heh. Yeah. Just like, hey, I can't believe you're getting your head chopped off with a steak knife and mounted on my table *for the first time*."

"Wh--?"

*STABBITY STAB STAB* *SPLORCHsqueeky*

"We may need some more napkins over here. And another round of drinks, please."

Possibly less comfort in remembering how young we were when we met.

Oh, my god. Ten years! TEN YEARS. I was so young and dumb. It's very good that you befriended me, because then where would I be?

I certainly would not be the person who explains bukkake, I tell you what.

I... don't seem to be doing anything for my birthday. Which is kind of lame and sad, but I've been sick and I'm tired, and it's too freaking cold to go out and party after work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah! The statue of limitations must have expired by now, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Then you'll be sure not to run across an annoying waiter! FTW!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

It's -10° F outside right now.

Welcome to the Upper Midwest. Wait until that's the high for the day.

Ah, 29 . . . I'm 47 and am starting to get the "What the hell have you done with your life, loser?" pangs.

Wrod on the killing of people who make the "29 for the first time" joke. I enjoy trotting out the truth to the faux funny people who ask my age, waiting for some stupid reply.
