Papersurfer.

I'm not sure he'll actually see this message though, for right now he and none other than tNb are off in foreign waters, galavanting (that really means surfing) to celebrate the fact that his birthday has arrived and he is oh... at least 53 years younger than the loins he was fruit of.  (Yes, you are correct, I do mean that GOG* we all know and ahem... tolerate.)

If you've been here before, you might know that when a fraccer has a birthday and I know about it, I find great joy in posting something special... something that speaks just to them, to convey my wishes for a birthday that's as happy as a warm-fuzzy-slippers-on-a-cold-winter's-night kind of day.

Of course, I went looking for a cake that would shout "Penfold... surfer extraordinaire" to the world, but as you can see, my first try went a bit awry.

I think the problem was in the spelling. Who'd have thought that a silly typo would still turn up a cake?  It was nice, but I wanted to find something more in line with what I was looking for.

A few more clicks and I surely had it.

I'm sure this one will do the trick Penfold, so from me to you... a most happiest of 40th birthdays. I know right now, you're probably thinking you're just the luckiest guy on earth.

Yeah, yeah folks... I didn't mean the cake or the birthday wish, I was talking about this.

May you have many, many more (yeah, even as many as the GOG*)

The old saying goes, that no one on their death bed ever looks back on their life and wishes they'd worked more, been more serious, spent less time with their loved ones or friends, or laughed less.

So I frac around. And though some people might suggest that fraccing around gets a person nowhere, I shall frac around knowing that for some of you, the laugh or smile you enjoy as a result of all this fraccing, might be just as necessary to your well-being at that moment in your day, as a granola bar at three in the afternoon between meetings.

Today, fraccing around found me...

...stumbling across Penfold without clothes! I kid you not. Read the story for yourself...

Tonight I vowed that I would sit down at my computer, and not get up until I'd fueled every single person on that fuelroll in the fracas sidebar. Yes indeed, I did. All 79 of them. Well, given that some of you have more than one blog registered to your username, and if I've had a chance to check out that blog I'll vote for more than one per username, it's actually more than 79 but hey... who's counting?

With those of you who do have more than one blog registered, I try to at least check out a couple of the ones I've not seen and sometimes I find a real surprise and a gem in a blog you had that I actually find more amusing, appealing, entertaining or useful than the one I did know about.

Such is the case today with Fanton... otherwise known as Lord Likely.

I was checking out his The Best Bit of the Internet, when I found something I totally had to do. I'd wanted to do the virtual snowman maker thing, but the link just wouldn't have me. Instead, I spent time admiring Olga's snowy breasts, and settled upon heading over to the site of Mike Whaite, the snowman maker's creator. Surely I thought, I'd find the snowman maker there. Instead, I found something far better. Far more amusing to this fraccy female who from time to time, loves to poke at and bother all thee who are of the Papersurfer clan.

Penfold... I am deeply sorry (not) but this was just too amusing not to partake. (Click the papersurfer's hat and the image will open up in full... trust me, you want to see this) I was very polite as I took off your clothes (trying not to look since I'm married and all) and I did originally outfit you in a rather dapper ensemble (if I do say so myself). I can't say the same for what the others might do to you though. I guess all in all though, it's a bit of karma for ye who created some naked pictures of me and Daddy Papersurfer in order for John to get a few extra hits.

Those who want to play, please head over to Mike Whaite's site, click on the "Interactive" link, and choose the avatar to the far left. I guarantee you, it will be an entertaining diversion.

I treasure these. As I read through them I get the same feeling as when I was in class and someone would send a little paper bullet with a message scribbled on it usually relating to the teacher poor sense of style or cold sore...

I love them so much that I decided to share a few with you, I will keep it anonymous of course...the game could be to figure out who wrote what...

French:

"Le singe est dans l'arbre"

"Bonjour Madamoiselle"

"bun jur darlin' - yor lookin gooooooood. Ow's the ol' man? and the offsprung?"

Eating habits:

"good morning oyster eater - mangeur d'huitre I should say [I think?]"

"I went to a restaraunt and forced myself to eat a snail"

"Good morning lotus eaters"

Death threats:

"I'd wash - probably - if I ever got an invitation."

"morph me and do it now!"

"Vote for me, not for Fracas. Vote for me, not for Fracas. Vote for me, not for Fracas. Don't tell Sylvie I said that - where am I? Oh no .."

"I'm popping over later!"

"I think we need gloves and special cream :-)"
