on the naming of toes

It was my birthday yesterday.

This is what happens on Colin’s birthday….

Small irate dog has an ulcer on his eye (courtesy of the cat who assaulted him years ago).

Large stupid dog, feeling left out no doubt, has a case of the electric shits.

Colin’s doctor opines, suddenly and alarmingly, that extra testiculari are bad, and (even more alarmingly) immediatley hits the phone to enlist the help of (any) local surgeon to remove said stellar objet d’art from bulging scrotum (I apologise if you are tucking in to a bowl of Cheerios at the moment)..

Colin sits endlessly in waiting room reading “Vogue” for surgeon to eventually shake him by the genitals and say “come back on Monday”, because it’s “my anniversary you see”, and he’d like to skip off and take his good lady to Quaglino’s….he has a reservation.

Colin finally plucks up courage to ask girl-at-a-distance out, for a little dinner and perhaps a few drinks

And inadvertently calls a lady in America instead. Just a slip of the thumb, but thank you Jessica, it was nice to say hello?

Yours truly wakes up in bathroom at 9.30 this morning wearing a Spaniel as a hat, and a message in lipstick on his forehead which reads…”X”

Thank #### I’m mellowing with age……

Happy Birthday Colin!! Happy Birthday. Well, I can see you didn't have a "stellar" day ... but it's ok. Right? Actually, now I'm worried about your boys, and I don't mean the dogs.

Hey, I want free porn!!!

(Just kidding...;)

Well, I'm late...as usual...but Happy (late) Birthday! :)

I'm sure everything will be fine...you'll have that "bulging scrotum" problem taken care of, your small irate dogs eye will heal and poor large stupid dog will get over his case of the electric shits (I HATE it when that happens to my dogs!!!)

Hang in there Colin.....;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Colin!!! You bugger you! That's not how you use that word, is it! Ah, sorry. Cultural differences aside, I am glad you didn't have to have scrotal surgery on your birthday! Talk about less than optimal ways to celebrate.
So, how was your birthday after your intimate meeting with the doc that is?

Deadly Female said...

Happy Birthday! You didn't say - I could have sent you a cheesy text message!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN! Hard to know whether to comment on the dogs, the doctor, the scrotum, the date that was or wasn't??? But sometime you must post a photo of you with a Spaniel for a hat.

Jenn said...

Hmmm. That's quite a day. Maybe tomorrow will be better....?

Happy belated birthday.

Jessica said...

Happy birthday, Colin - it was such a nice surprise to get to chat with you briefly!

Oh - and for the record, had I been able to, I would have gladly joined you for dinner and a few drinks....even if it wasn't me you meant to call :)

Jay said...

So are you already in recovery mode or what? I think you should reclaim your birthday, perhaps celebrate next week instead. There's got to be some sort of rule about that.
