Thank you for the song, Smells.  I am touched.

It reminds me that Edward Gorey once said much the same thing in fewer words - a former student gave me a card of it once:

Quote
Her laugh made beetles swoon; her frown
Made geese and cows turn upside down.

Hey - I'm going to go downstairs now and laugh at the beetles and see if it works.

Oh! Oh! Thank you!

And don't youall forget to wish Edgar Allan Poe a happy birthday too.  Just because he's dead doesn't mean he won't appreciate it.

Hell, he might prefer it.

Happy b-day wombat, from deep in the bowels of academe.  No matter how bad your birthday is, at least you (probably) didn't have to lecture freshmen today.

Not that I did either, but it is the thought that counts.

Yeah, I did not have to lecture anydamnbody today.  The reptiles were all very well behaved and did not need a good talking-to, or anything. I am so busy being thankful that I no longer work at a certain zoo in a certain city in a certain mid-Atlantic state that will remain nameless, that I forget to be thankful for that too these days. Which is rather lovely, actually.

And so far my birthday has been pretty good.  We have decided to save the drunken carousing for tomorrow, since I have the weekend off.  But I went out to lunch with my boss - whose birthday is also today! - and we had a good gossip.  And some really cool looking chocolate just arrived in the mail.  And I have really excellent imaginary friends and lots of tiny cans. And none of my ships have come in, but there are some little rowboats on the horizon.  Altogether not bad.

There, that's your eleventy-first can. It's good to see someone careful to prevent the moral turpitude of the herpetological.
