I accept your generous dancing squid gift on behalf of the entire TONMO.com community.

And because you yourself are a member of the community, you have a gift coming to you as well! Here's your dancing squid:

It's not quite as good as a functioning space bar, but it's the best I can do.

My planning was perfect! I am having my own birthday party tonight!


My birthday was Tuesday. James Brown played that night and the band sang "Happy Birthday, dear Godfather" 8) Only Architeuthis rising out of the harbor to enjoy the show could have improved it!

You know, the funny thing is , Ceph...I found myself singing along with the words while I read them. I heard that most people do that with the "abc's" too...guess that makes me ready for the short bus!

I hope birthday wishes are valid even when they're a week late:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TONMO!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MELISSA!

Since I have reluctantly given up my beloved Häagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream, I will raise a container of Dannon Light 'n Fit Creamy Key Lime fat-free yogurt to your collective health!



PS: As a birthday gift, here is a Gothic Squid Joke which I found on the Gothic Joke page (well actually it's a Lovecraft joke, but you know how wild and crazy those whimsical. fun-loving Goths can get):

• "Waiter! Waiter! There's a dead squid in my soup!"
  "It's not dead Sir, it's just dreaming."

PPS: Co-ink-identally, as I write this, I am watching a CROC HUNTER episode featuring Australia Zoo's birthday celebration for Harriet the Galapagos Tortoise, who just turned 168 years young. How's that for a good omen (or would that be "Ammon-")?

Here is a picture of a favorite birthday present.

I knew the person who drew it when he was in NYC but had no idea that he did things like the "gratuitous surly squid animation" at http://www.elreydelart.com/.
