Let Me Continue to Count the Ways
Yesterday I promised you more ridiculous/creative misspellings of the word "birthday."
Which probably has you wondering, "Just how much more ridiculous can it get? It's a simple word! Sure, you might forget a letter, or switch a few up, but that's it, right?"
[shaking head] Oh, ye of little faith.
Does that really say "Happy Birdholq?"
Why yes, yes it does.
And note how the 'q' was added on later, as if that somehow fixed the problem.
I love imagining what happened between the "t" and the "L." Some kind of digestive emergency? A phone order? Or was it just break time?
Speaking of imagination, you'll need yours to decipher this next one:
I'm guessing that's either "Binday" or "Benday."
Regardless, Edgar must be one really colorful character.
This next one isn't so much switching letters around as it is playing word jumble with them:
"Birdthay?" Sounds flighty to me.
"Boithday" - Now there's an offer you can't refuse.
This is why you don't order a cake when you have a cold:
You know, 'cuz that's how you say it when your nose is stuffed up? Yes? No?
And finally, what could very well be my new favorite (narrowly edging out "epi burf day"):
Bill F., Ashley J., Bev, Teresa V., Cassie P., Hannah W., & Lester H., great job. Period.

Note: For those of you keeping count, that's 18 different misspellings of "birthday" so far. Eighteen. Parents, if you have a new baby in the house, this could even be your yearly checklist. Just sayin'.

SHA-POW!!

Sometimes you can tell just by looking at a cake the exact moment when the decorator got distracted and had to take a break.
Maybe the "p" triggered certain sprinkle cravings, if you catch my drift.
This may not be a huge error, but it's definitely one of the most fun to read out loud. Bipthday. It trips drunkenly off the tongue, don't you think?
Of course, there's the momentary distraction, and then there's this:

Happy Barthy.
Not just "Barthy," mind you: it's "Barthy, period." No exclamation points, no dashes: just period. Yeah. Put that little pine branch on your number 4 candle and smoke it.Bill F., Ashley J., Bev, Teresa V., Cassie P., Hannah W., & Lester H., great job. Period.
