Happy birthday, ND!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Happy birthday, Drew! Here, have a newly discovered pterosaur that looks like a porg.

Ha!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
From a way back:
One of my coworkers mentioned that Del Taco has surprisingly good burgers. For being a taco place, I guess. I don't think I can confirm that from my own experience, but I'll pass it along.
I've never had their burgers, but I've always found it weird that all but one of their combo meals includes fries. (I only ever bought the other one, with a quesadilla, [pre-lactose-intolerance] because I thought the whole "fries from a Mexican place" thing was odd).
And yes, Cindy, Naugles is pronounced to rhyme with "Boggles".

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DREW!!!!!

Many happy returns of the day, NoiseDesign!
Ahhhh, how so cute pterosaur?!?!?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
It is Drew's natal day! The skies over Puget Sound are appropriately sunny in his honor.
I got my first shot yesterday, and inspired four adult humans to actual loud cheers and fistpumps with my XKCD "Try Science" T-shirt. Jim asked if I wore it intentionally; it was my turn to deliver the "You have said a Silly Thing" look.
AmyP, and I say this with love, how. dare. you.
Jessica, you have not met Ken, but please believe me when I say that it would take powers beyond those of mere mortals to keep him from doing what he's set his mind on; he has apparently decided that adulthood is a worthy use of his time.
