Today is Todd’s birthday. This photo may not mean anything to you, but he knows what it means.
You know how teenage girls will sometimes make a list of all the things they want in their “perfect” man? Yes, they really do that. And I did that when I was about 13 or so. I narrowed down my list of perfection to about 20 attributes, which included physical traits like blond hair and blue eyes, important things like he must play bass and have at least one tattoo, and intangibles like good sense of humor, smart and fun. Then I threw away my list, assured by older peers that the perfect guy just does not exist.
But he does. And I have him. Well, he’s perfect for me, which is all that matters. That we found each other is, I believe, an act of fate and I never take for granted the fact that I was fortunate enough to end up with the guy who absolutely completes me, cheesy as that may be.
Todd is, simply, the greatest guy in the world and he deserves everything he wishes for on his birthday. Not that he’s going to get a shotgun, an armored tank and a small country named after him, but he does deserve those things. And how can you not love a guy who, when he realizes he’s not going to get his own country and militia for his birthday, says he’ll settle for a pocket fisherman and a Snuggie?
Happy birthday, turtle*. I love you. You rule.
*I may or may not explain that nickname some day
Happy birthday, Todd. Not only am I happy for what you and Michele have, but without you, I’d never have gotten to “know” you and Michele and the rest of our village idiots.
Also, Capricorns rule.
Many happy returns of the day!
If my kids got wind of that nickname, they’d giggle every time they heard it.
I really believe in listmaking, whether on paper or in your head. Did the same thing a few months before meeting Dan, no lie. Happy bday to Todd. Someday that militia dream might happen; he needs to WRITE IT DOWN. Duh.
Awwwwww. At least by the Perfect Man a Sham-Wow!
Happy Birthday, Todd!
I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Snuggie. The humor and utility of that item is too priceless for words.
I got a card a few years back where it said something completely silly like:
“Happy birdle turtle to yoodle doodle.”
Thought it fit.
May you live as long as you love and love as long as you live.
Todd doesn’t need a Sham Wow because HE IS sham-wow!
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Todd. You are like the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz, I just know it.
Happy birthday, Todd. Please keep the Twitter fodder coming. She needs you.
Happy Birthday & many, many more!
Happy birthday Todd. From all that I’ve read, I might go gay for you if you ever wanted that.
Happy birthday!
I love you guys.
And yea, he is totally the man behind the curtain.
Happy birthday Todd! Thanks for inspiring 90% of the funniest tweets I read everyday
I have a tradition of belting out “Happy Birthday To You” massively out of tune, twice as loud and, like, five beats behind the rest of the singers.
Consider yourself lucky Todd. This time.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday from yet another complete stranger on the Internet!
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above.
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance
That we can find someone to love.
And make it last. ~ Neil Peart
Congrats, Todd. On getting another year older with Michelle.
Happy birthday!
Wow.
Thank you all.
You are all those weird people that Michele talks about every night, aintcha……
Buncha wierdos….every last one of you’s…
Nah. I’m just kidding.
Thank you all for making Michele bust out loud laughing at the computer screen each night.
And thank you for the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday, Todd! Since you’re with Michele, you must be one cool dude.
Happy birthday, Todd! Keep shootin’ zombies with Michele. Bang bang.
Happy Birthday! I’m late, as I usually am with the talking/posting/responding. Who says on-line life isn’t the same as in-person life?
Hope you have a great birthday.
Happy Birthday Todd!
I had a boyfriend that I called Turtle, it was a naughty nickname and a very long time ago. But I just giggled and my husband wants to know why, so thank you. (I’m so not telling him why! A girls got to have her secrets.)
Happy birthday Todd. You and Michele both make me laugh so thanks for that!
Happy birthday man! Hope it’s a good day.
Peace!
Happy Birthday, sir. We were all chipping in to get you the Ric, but I don’t know who has the envelope anymore. Pass it on people. C’mon. We gotta bass to purchase here.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Todd! Late to the party am I as usual, but I do hope you had a good one. Michele is very lucky!
