In answer to Stiletto‘s inquiry, all I want for my birthday is this:
Well, except for the sock on the jaw. Wouldn’t your life be just intrinsically cooler if everything you said was witty and subtitled, even if it was just in English?
Ah, but who will be my Nicky?
Anyway, that’s what I want, along with dinner at Delilah’s or yeah, maybe Connor Butler (gotta luv a six foot punk rock blond teddybear chef who greets you with “HEY WOW RAINCOASTER’S HERE!!! I mean he actually calls me raincoaster), and a nice bottle of Bombay Sapphire, Plymouth, or the now-discontinued and hence rare Malacca gin from Tanqueray. Oh, and a bottle of Campari and a bottle of Cinzano red vermouth, because those Negronis aren’t gonna make themselves, baby!
That’s what I want.
What I’ll probably get is something more like this:

I’m wishing you a Happy Birthday now in case I miss the announcement later.
Aww, thanks. It’s tomorrow. I dunno why I’m making a big deal of this one, I usually just let them slide. But my friend is picking me up and taking me off for a four-day holiday, which will be nice. I need a break with the plumbers and the houseguest, however accomodating he may be.
and I can even remember William Powell’s recipe for Scotch in “Mister Roberts’ . . . . .
Great, will you make me a double?
lemme find the iodine . . .
Have a Wonderful Birthday and may many more be in your future.
(I can do this cos it is the 10th here and my calendar just reminded me ) :)
How about somewhere in between? Half-dapper and half-drunken. Life is all about compromise…
An example…Your birthday: Will you feel like you’re “getting older” or are you “still young”? Either way, it’s your birthday. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe if you go hard you’ll meet “guy#2″…On second thought, moderation was never half-bad. OK…I’m letting go of this derailed train of thought. Too wishy-washy.
Happy B-day. Have some of these

Happy Birthday, Raincoaster!
That song is interesting. If it had been out in the 70’s it would have glamorized excessive boozing to no end. The video gives one second thoughts about it.
“If I drink beer, If I drink a lot of beer, will you drink with me?” Yeah. That’s the kind of guy you meet. :p
Or the kind I meet. Although, I’ve got a lot of witty with mine, too. There is a happy medium!
Yeah, we have a lot in common. Now get on that cloning thing ASAP!
Thanks for all the good wishes! If I can only get one Martini I’ll be a happy camper, even if I have to drink it out of a rusty tin can. As Oscar said, “we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
quick for god’s sake… give the girl whatever she wants…..
wishing you a great big happy one!
Thanks! All donations gleefully, if drunkenly, accepted.
Hello Raincoaster! I’ve emerged from the dead!
Happy Birthday ahead of time….I wish I could find you a Nicky – lovely video by the way – that guy is full of wise cracks, huh? That’s all you need…two of you!
And the menu from the restaurant looks divine….
I hope you fellow Canadians hook you up~ I could still work on the booze, damn it, if I can find the right website!
xoxoxoxo
I just realized it’s July, I think, and that means it is MY birthday on Friday! Maybe we can pool birthday resources?
Happy Birthday (Belated) Raincoaster! Hope you are having a fabulous four day weekend.
Found this today, thought of you.
Massive squid washes up on Tasmanian beach this morning.

Enjoy!
Happy birthday, neath! I’ll try to find you a nice overpass.
Thanks, SG. I had two Bombay Sapphire Martinis and a couple of 1516s (beer) and passed out at 9pm. I have no tolerance since I started cutting down. I be old, yo.
Thanks, hazel. I dunno what it is about me going offline, but every time I do the ocean pops out a surprise and people start going “are you okay? You didn’t blog the squid!”
