Alphagene turns 25 today, and I thought that since he loves MPSIMS more than anything (he just won’t admit it), we should all wish him a happy birthday. Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday Dear Alpha Happy Birthday to you Also, I think a great birthday present for him would be a whole litter of kitty cats, or else maybe some figurines of small children doing cute things. What do you guys think? ---

Happy Birthday Alphagene! I don’t know why, but I’ve always pictured you as a chia pet kind of guy. I’ve found the perfect one for you [here](http://www.chiapet.com/): a LooneyTunes chia pet, in your case, TweetyBird! Please let me know a shipping address so that it can be delivered promptly. ---

Dang, elelle, you beat me to it. I found just the _perfect_ painting of drippy-eyed waifs–on black velvet, natch–but now I’ll have to drive all the way back to that street corner and see if the vendor will take it back. And the black-velvet waif was cuddling the most _adorable_ kitten… Ah, Alpha, you lizard-hearted putz, let a fellow Tauri wish you a happy birfday! (Oh, shit, somebody get Alpha a basin, he’s heaving again…NOT the dog’s food bowl!..) Hey, I know! I’ll get you a year-long astrological projection! ::beams happily:: Oh, quit yerking already.
