Ack! Separate threads? And only 4 excalamtion points between them! See what happens when PF isn't working when I do my birthday rounds.

Happy Birthday, Math Is Hard & zooby!!!!!!!!!!!11111

I was going to make you one of those Barbie cakes, but they seem to send the message 'Look, kids, we've trapped Barbie in a mountain of confectionary gooiness. Let's slice her up with a knife and eat her.' And I just don't think that that's a good message to be sending. Instead, here is a pretty wholesome picture of a ladybug on a flower.

In honor of your birthday and love of kitties, I am posting an old favorite:

"Math is hard!" is a reference to her Barbie avatar, Scott. On the talking Barbie you pull the ring and she says things like "Let's go shopping!" and "Math is hard!" It's a Barbie theme thing, is all.

[TheStatutoryApe]

And a Happy Belated Birthday to MIH!!!

I had a wonderful birthday. I had Friday off of work, so I decided to get out of town for the weekend. I took the train down to San Diego so Zooby and I, fellow April Fools, could celebrate OUR birthday. We went to the Birch Aquarium (http://aquarium.ucsd.edu) in La Jolla (beautiful!!!)and saw some HUGE jellyfish and later we tried to catch a glimpse of the elusive "green flash (http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF)" at sunset down at Pacific Beach. There's a great restaurant there for viewing, aptly named "The Green Flash". No green to be seen that evening, but we had a fabulous sunset nonetheless. Here's the place:

And I had some yummy oyster shooters. The place I stayed at had a wonderful heated swimming pool so I got to swim in the mornings. Oh, it was fantastic!

[Moonbear]

That's so cool that you and Zoob got to spend your birthday together! And it sounds like it was a great outing.

Thanks for the link explaining the "green flash." I had something else entirely different in mind when Zooby mentioned it (I was thinking you were talking about phosphorescence in the water after dark :redface:).

[zoobyshoe]

Math, here is one of the shots I took of the sunset. It looks sort of yellow-green doesn't it, in that section right above the sun? I think we can fudge a bit and say we saw the green flash.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/mrzshoe/setcrop.jpg

You can see those strange puffy-clouds on the horizon that the people next to us thought were alien space craft.

[Moonbear]

What a pretty picture! If the people next to you were gullible enough to think puffy clouds were alien space craft, maybe you should have played an April Fool's joke on them and told them it was the Honolulu skyline, only visible from the CA coast on really clear days. :biggrin:

[Math Is Hard]

WOW!!! WOWWEE!! OK, Zoob, that is VERRRRRRY greenish-looking. I thought my eyes were getting burned out from staring at the sun!

Moonie, there was quite a ruckus on the bar patio. Some guy was yelling, "Call the Coast Guard!" (He had had a few more oyster shooters than me.)

[Moonbear]

What's an oyster shooter? Is that some sort of shot with an oyster in it? And if so, how much do you have to drink before that sounds like a good idea? :yuck:

[zoobyshoe]

WOW!!! WOWWEE!! OK, Zoob, that is VERRRRRRY greenish-looking. I thought my eyes were getting burned out from staring at the sun!
Same here. It was really hard to tell what color anything was after you glanced at the sun once or twice.

[zoobyshoe]

Don't ask. Math will try any strange drink or dish and the stranger it looks and sounds the more she wants to try it.

I know you're going to scold me but I went oyster-crazy this weekend. I love them slimy little suckers! Friday night, I had a giant oyster at the Chinese buffet we went to, Saturday, oyster shooters at the Green Flash(a shot glass filled with a raw oyster, cocktail sauce, and vodka), and for breakfast this morning a raw oyster combo at a very posh seafood restaurant (three types of oysters and I got to mix in my own fresh grated horseradish with the sauces). It was fabulous! :smile: On top of that I had all kinds of wonderful seafood. I don't have to worry about my mercury levels getting low anytime soon. :tongue2:

Oh, what?!! That jellyfish on the beach was already dead, and nobody would have seen me take a bite! I don't know why you had to make such a big deal about it! :frown:

Did Zooby stick around long enough to appreciate the aphrodesiac effects? I'm not going to scold; I'm sure the vodka killed any bacteria. :rolleyes: I just think oysters are nasty, but you're more than welcome to my share. When raw, they seem an awful lot like snot, and when cooked, well, let's just say they're better raw. :yuck:

[zoobyshoe]

It wasn't the jellyfish but the barnacles you kept pulling of the piers and shouting "OOOOOOO!!! FRESH OYSTERS!!!!!"

[zoobyshoe]

Did Zooby stick around long enough to appreciate the aphrodesiac effects? I was very respectful. Mostly from fear she might not be anatomically correct. Plus she was feeling sore from an incident at the aquarium:

with a little lemon juice, there's hardly any difference.:blushing:

Zooby, there's a saying: What happens in San Diego, stays in San Diego. :biggrin:

You coulda taken that fish. The whole crowd was rootin' for ya.

I just have to post this beautiful photo again. So, do you suppose that could have been an aircraft carrier on the horizon? I saw some this morning and boy, were they MASSIVE! Until I saw them up close, I never comprehended how enormous they were.

The image is very large and when I display it on my computer actual size they're obviously clouds.

[Math Is Hard]

Can you crop and enlarge just the strip of horizon and post it? I want to see what you see. Those are the weirdest dang clouds I have ever seen in my life!

Thank you, Zooby.

No, you are dismissed. :tongue:
