Happy birthday to Subversify Staff members Karla Fetrow and AB Thomas! I'm all roasted out from yesterday, but it's probably a good thing, since poor Karla doesn't like the roasting. In all seriousness, congratulations to Karla who honors life with another year of her presence. She is quite simply the greatest living writer walking the face of the earth. While we all appreciate the Alaskan splices of life and the avant garde fiction she shares with us at Subversify, we must also humble ourselves and realize that her best work is reserved for closest friends. I am honored to be one of the few that has read her masterpiece, a book that someday, I believe, will be regarded the highest literary standard of the 21st century. I chose this cute picture to represent Karla and her motherly devotion to her two fantastic kids. As for AB Thomas Neonorth, oh boy, I really don't think anyone wants me to get sappy with him. That would just be weird and uncomfortable. So I think it's appropriate to offer a Canadian style "thanks" to Neonorth, one of our most prolific humorists and political commentators. Oh look, and some of Neonorth's fan club also wanted to chime in: Heheh, Happy birthday guys!

Happy Birthday! Evelyn and Evelyn have sent you the following message: Evelyn: Although we realize you are not as we, conjoined twins, Evelyn: We know how it feels to share a birthday Evelyn: When we were young and in the circus they only gave us one present Evelyn: But now that we are on our own we get twix which we love soverymuch more. Evelyn: We think people born on the same day must be veryvery special Evelyn: Though not as special as us Evelyn: Stop bragging Evelyn, nobody can be as special as us and to say so only makes people feel bad. Evelyn: Oh sorry, Evelyn Evelyn: Happy Birthday! Karla, I am sorely tempted to be overly sentimental, but I shall restrain myself. You are a good friend a wonderful mentor and a stalwart anchoress for this place. (although thankfully, and as far as I can tell you are not actually walled up in a chapel as an achoress would be) Tony, we have known each other here for a long time and I am so glad to have you in this community. I remember when I first "met" you at yahoo, you told me to beware what I ask for in a friend, that you were salty, oversexualized and rarely wore pants. How glad I am that none of those things mattered. Happy Birthday to Both of you.

Thanks for none of that mushy stuff Mitch! Thanks Grainne, though I still think you should still reconsider what matters since I still am oversexualized, rarely wear pants and now have taken to being even more vampid in my soapbox pontifications! I look on my birthday as a sort of pendulum swing of fate twisting her bony finger into my rectum while singing “put on a happy face”. On one hand I have not managed to be slaughtered by roving ninja squirrels, cross-eyed once virgins with myopia who mistook my long hair and mistook my “let me put my hand on to feel you” for “let me put my hand on to heal you” or Liberals torn between enforcing strict gun control regulations and the urge to put a bullet between my eyes. On the other hand, it is a reminder that another year has passed where yet again I have not taken my place as dictator to a small Central American country where I force Gordon Ramsey to make me chilli dogs and poutine while Lady Ga Ga goes slowly mad from trying to make the John Denver catalogue into top ten dance chart hits. I suppose it could be looked at as incentive to stick around for another year. By the way, Mitch, you wouldn’t happen to have the phone number for my fan club members would you? I haven’t had a decent threesome since the dog and cat started hiding from me when I walk into the room.

What can i say after Tony's debut? I'd do a can-can, but i left my bloomers in my box of summer clothing that disappeared two years ago.
Mitch, your words are entirely too kind. I'm over-whelmed. We have shared so much of the work that has been dearest to our hearts, and the heart felt exchange became meaningful, unlocking avenues of thought we had previously not known existed. We roved in worlds of imagination, and if i have produced anything fine within the last five years we've known each other, it's been under the influence of those dreams. We found our opposing views agreeable, painting deeper colors into our life canvasses, bringing out personalities dripping below the surface of our characters. You've always made me wish to strive harder, to reach higher, which is what a good writing partnership is all about.
I love the Polar Bear pic. Even though my cubs have left the cave, mama bear still prowls around close by to make sure her cute cuddlies don't get skinned! Blasted hunters. I'd like to catch one without his helicopter and team. His weapon would be nothing more than a popgun then.
Grainne, that was hilarious. I think Tony and i are probably more an adult only version of the Bobbsy Twins, though, instead of Siamese look alikes. And where i entertain fish obsessions, Tony entertains Saturday night fever. There's a perfectly understandable reason for this however. Spending Saturday night entertaining bears can be a very dangerous occupation. More than one ambitious person on his quest to gain Sourdough status got the instructions all wrong. You are supposed to piss in the Yukon, sleep with an Eskimo and wrestle a bear, not piss in the Yukon, wrestle an Eskimo, and screw a bear.
Happy Birthday, Tony. Let's celebrate one more year of being each other's nemesis!
