🆒 Happy Birthday! I like pie. We always have birthday pie for my birthday, because I don’t like cake all that much. So, can I have a piece of pie? ---

Thank you all for your kind wishes. You’ve made me even happier than I was before. If I was a bat, I’d purr. \*\*BiblioCat \*\* and **Abbie Carmichael** , I agree - while cake is nice, I think pie is at least 3.14159 times nicer. Especially with vanilla ice cream. This year it’s blueberry pie. I usually go for pecan, but the kids really like blueberry, and since they’re decorating the house for me (last year it was a “Bob the Builder” birthday), I think they should be rewarded for their industry. And you may certainly have a piece of pie. Now let’s see. . . there’s four of us, plus two of you - **Harmless** , did you want pie? Best to make that four plus three, which makes seven. . . now a pie has 360 degrees, unless it’s ice-cream pie (HA! I \*kill \* myself!), so that makes 51 degrees each, plus allowance for the width of the knife . . . now where’s that protractor? You guys had better fill up on ice cream while you wait - this may take a while. Oh, and Harmless, please don’t send a stripper; I don’t think there’ll be enough pie, and I’d hate for anyone to be disappointed. Really - that’s the only reason I don’t want one. . . ---

Gotta like a guy who prefers pie. Up with pie! Down with cake! This year, I’ll have a birthday pie, too. or maybe icecream cake, but that’s not really cake, it’s only cake _shaped_ ---

My birthday’s also tomorrow, and I haven’t a clue what I’ll be having. Although, my co-workers surprised me with a cake about half an hour ago. Well, they intended to surprise me, but I was in the hall chatting with someone when a co-worker walked by with a pink bakery box. 😛
