mithriltabby: Detail from Dali’s “Persistence of Memory” (Time)
[personal profile] mithriltabby

I’ve arrived at age 36, mostly intact, living in one of the most cosmopolitan regions of one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, and getting paid to do engineering work that allows do-overs at little more cost than time and electricity. Life is good.

As always, if there is to be singing to commemorate this milestone, please make sure it’s the Viking Birthday Dirge. I appreciate the efforts of my more dedicated friends to memorize the whole thing, but since most folks don’t do so, please keep the verses to:

Death, destruction, and despair
People dying everywhere

May the cities in your wake
Burn like candles on your cake

So you’ve aged another year
Now you know that Death is near

Happy Birthday!

But I wanted to quote

Hear the women wail and weep
Kill them all, but SPARE THE SHEEP

And I will, just because I'm an anarchist at heart.
Much happiness, health and prosperity for the coming year. I hope to see you during it, several times.

Happy birthday! Is there any other birthday song? I introduced this at work when a co-worker was turning 50. I was amazed that everyone sang along!
