It's a know rule:
If your birthday is coming up, you're required to notify your co-workers
so they can have a quiet little shin-dig for you. People that break
this rule and try to hide the fact that their birthday is coming up
(people like Frenchy Gougion) must suffer the consequences with much
fanfare.
What better way to subtlely annouce a birthday than with a 12-foot tall
Pink Power Ranger placed at the entrance of your place of employment?
Frenchy was *really* pissed off at first. But eventually he agreed
to go out and pose with the harbinger of his birthday greeting.
Then things started getting weird.
Then they got even weirder.
Earlier on that year, we had had established a birthday tradition...we'd
dig up the most embarrashing photo we could find of whoever's birthday
it was and have the image enlarged an scanned onto a "photo cake."
Geoff thought that by hiding all of his embarrassing photos, he'd be
safe. Well Geoff, not taking Newman's and my cleverness and Photoshop
prowess into account, thought wrong.
We decided that if we didn't have an embarrassing picture of Frency,
we'd invent one. So we decided to make Geoff NAMBLA'S Member of the
Year. For those of you not "in the know," NAMBLA is the North
American Man/Boy Love Association.
(No, I'm not kidding.)
Frenchy hides his face in mock-shame upon viewing his cake.
Then he, uh, blew it.
The cake to end all cakes.
Mmmm...the advocacy of man-boy love never tasted so sweet!
