I bring you... FUNNY VIDS...

[eregyrn]

Thank you everyone for the kind birthday wishes! Today, I received: a new computer at work (20" iMac running OSX 10.5); flowers in a GIANT MARTINI GLASS filled with pink crystals (the most amazing thing about that is that No, it wasn't Raqs who sent it to me); and I got to watch the most amazing bluejay fight I have ever seen. Tomorrow, if I'm lucky, I expect to receive an octopus.

The best part about having a milestone birthday is getting a call from your older brother, who took turning 50 in reasonable stride (except for the part where he's going to jump out of a perfectly good airplane; and also, he leased a Porsche; at least it's not red!), but freaked out over his "baby sister" hitting the big Four Oh. Yes, yes, I'll still always be the younger one! And I have less grey hair. (Even if I wasn't coloring it.)

In the spirit of giving, I offer you all... FUNNY VIDS...

"Hi! I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC: Iron Man and Batman"

"Part Two" (be sure to stick around for the "surprise ending"!)

"Part Three"

The above three vids are only the latest in a long-running YouTube series that started off with the "Hi! I'm a Marvel... and I'm a DC!" thing between Superman and Spiderman, and got... reaaaaally elaborate from there. I'm not going to embed them all, but here they are in order:

Oh, Whit and Ron in Oregon sent it. I really have to tip my hat to them.

I finally threw out the dead flowers, but of course saved the giant martini glass and the pink plastic crystals it's filled with. And you know what? That sucker is GLASS! It's like 18" high -- you could use that think as a serving dish for parties. Hmm. Maybe that's the point. I'm definitely hanging onto it.
