Tomorrow, a great American Institution turns 40

And so does the Super Bowl.

Yes, ladies and gents, the rumors are true: tomorrow I turn 40.

I know, I know: as those who know me well know that I've been XL for a long, long time.

Other than increasingly feeling like Mr. Hand, there is no noticeable difference. Our program coordinator at work got me the greatest birthday present I've received in ages: a Napoleon Dynamite talking key-chain. So I've been padding around the house making various noises all day. Needless to say, The Dear One wasn't too impressed when I kept pushing the button that said, "I like your sleeves---they're real big."

Anyhoo, the Cranky Factor has been pegged at maximum. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.

(And yes, The Cranky Factor would be a good name for a blog).

All I want for my 40th birthday is a 40 ounce bottle of Bud. Well, that and a Vietnamese prostitute, of course.

We'll see if my pending match against Joseph Nye allows me to live that long.

But seriously, happy 40th -- get our there and do something that doesn't involve horses, llamas, or Derrida.

Or involves all three and a chainsaw...

Happy birthday

XOXO,

Happy Birthday! Hope the Cranky Factor goes down some. Cranky Factor would also be a good title for a despot in some sort of humor-based fantasy series. All hail the Cranky Factor!

Well, I'm kind of like the Johnny Cash character in that song about Sunday mornings, except from drinking too much Metamucil.
