Happy 40th birthday,
Matthew. But, what does one get as a 'significant birthday' present for he who separated the light from the darkness, and verily created the blue?
Perhaps, to fill the shelving around
his desk inside the MetaFilter HQ
island, some interesting taxidermy?
How about an
intimate hamster and cockerel,
Bambi 2.0,
Billy the Squirrel, a
prize winning horse,
Furboar, or
Eightball the Alsation? Or get two for the price of one in the
rat,
calf,
duckling or
squirrel departments? Or if his birthday was closer to Easter,
easter chicks?
Perhaps
AquaMouse, a
flying goatfish, the famous
fur-bearing trout, a
cute animal scene, or the
Raven of Probably Not Happiness? Or maybe avoid all the flesh and fur, and just
knit something pleasant instead? Or just do what many Americans do and buy some
Star Wars products?
Or perhaps something practical, like a
nice chair, a
fun comb, or someone to
watch over you?
Anyway, there's no need to
torture oneself over present selection. So perhaps just get
something mundane.
Whatever you get have a great day, and pleasant dreams tonite, Matt.
