Holy crap — I’m 30?!

Posted on June 15, 2007 @ 7:29 am

If I were to die today — and the day is still young — I imagine my epitaph would likely read, “Here lies the author of ‘Eight Women Who Look Better Bald Than Britney.’ He really spent a lot of time on the Internet.” Touching, no?

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get cracking if I hope to achieve my childhood dream of becoming a globetrotting archaeologist/adventurer before the end of the day. Cake and ice cream for all!

(Except my enemies. You know who you are.)

    Happy Birthday.

    (And, I think that it’d be better if you had “Lostvivor score: 0″ on your tombstone.)

    Don’t sprain an ankle whilst globetrotting.

    Happy Birthday!

    We share the same dream, in that I also want to be Indiana Jones when I grow up. But I might settle for Nevada Smith (megafilmgeek ref there!).

    Happy Birthday, Jess!

    Incidentally, you share the same birthday as Jay Pinkerton, which may explain why you two have such a similar sense of humor in your articles.

    There’s no call for anyone here being denied cake and ice cream. :/

    Grats, man! You’ve now reached the age where all the immature-old-guy jokes really start to come in to your favor. I’ve had three years of practice with them and my favorite is:

    You say, “Act your age.” I say, “You’re not the boss-o-me! PBBTHPB!”

    Happy Birthday!

    I have to ask, what kind of icing is on this alleged cake?

  12. Nick June 15, 2007 3:05 pm

    Happy Birthday!

  13. SamuraiFrog June 15, 2007 4:36 pm

    Happy birthday! I know how you feel!

    Ew, you’re old now. Sorry, I don’t read blogs written by old people.

    Ah, the firey ritual of Carousel. Perhaps you’ll renew!

  16. Semaj June 16, 2007 8:19 am

    congratulations, welcome to the 30 club.

  17. Fuzzball June 18, 2007 4:41 pm

    ACK! I totally missed it! Happy Birthday :)

    Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! So far, age 30 is treating me well. That is to say that I had barbecue for dinner tonight. Which counts for something, right?

    @Betty: It was a white cake topped with whipped cream icing and coconut (a personal favorite). There’s still a slice in the fridge if you want it. ;)
