I am so ashamed.

January 29th, 2004 at 8:17 am (Burfday Wishes)

In my haste to waste time, and then my subsequent haste to make use of what time I had not wasted, I entirely forgot to send out a M*A*S*H birthday greeting to the person who began my desire to send out M*A*S*H birthday greetings.

DREAMBOAT ALAN ALDA!

Can you believe it? For me to forget Hawkeye’s birthday, why, that’s… that’s heinous. At least I can take comfort in the fact that I remembered Donald Sutherland’s birthday. But only slightly.

Alan, happy belated birthday. *weeps with shame*

Some interesting Alan Alda trivia:

  • Had a bad case of polio as a child.

  • Is the only person ever to win an Emmy for acting, writing, and directing.
  • Once did a cartwheel down the aisle while on his way to accept an award that he had just won.
  • Has three daughters: Elizabeth, Beatrica, and EVE.

    Wouldn’t a horrible horrible person be an awsome person? Like multiplying negatives.

    (Horrible)*(Horrible) = awsome

    Likewise

    (awsome) devided by (Horrible) = (Horrible)

    and the square root of awsome is horrible.

    You can’t divide awesome by horrible; it’s like dividing by zero, you get an undetermined number.
