I do stupid things to amuse myself. Lately, it’s been trying to find creative ways to say happy birthday to friends on Facebook. I found something I’m enjoying the hell out of and that’s to add a facetiously hostile attitude to the birthday wishes. Eric, I was thinking you might like to try it yourself since you seem to be getting a little tired of saying it. It would go like this in front of the camera: “And if it’s your birthday, Happy birthday!” Then pause and stare at camera with a insincere evil eye and say, “Or else!” Maybe continue the evil eye for another second or two and move on with no explanation.
Do it only if you want to….or else!

Interesting. I’ll consider mixing it up. I’m not really tired of saying, some viewers are though. I guess it’s not their birthday.
I think it’s a nice touch , kind of nice getting a birthday greeting , but I can see why some people don’t like it , well they can suck it up like the princesses they are

exactly , it’s a nice touch saying it , it’s a generic greeting to all those members whose B-day it happens to be , people need to stop being so sensitive ,he’s not giving away your darkest secrets to the authorities .
It’s been a great little warm fuzzy spin and I enjoy it even when it’s not my birthday. I couldn’t think of a way to update it without going outside the walls of family-oriented correctness. Maybe just do it once in awhile or maybe just on Christmas or something.
Here’s another thought Eric. Have a little cake frosting schmutzed into the moustache and you say:
“And if it’s your birthday, Happy Birthday!…I made you a cake and it was delicious.”

As it happens, today is my daughters birthday. Perhaps I can ‘borrow’ some of her cake for a shoot.

No, that’s not creepy at all. :blink:
I don’t appreciate that you assumed the worst of that. I’d have hoped you had the common sense to look at that statement and realize that since I dared place it where millions of people around the world could read it, it just might be a lot more innocuous than how you interpreted it. I did start this thread trying to display a sense of humor after all. Since you’ve made a bad assumption of me, I’m going to make an assumption of you and interpret your statement to say I’m behaving like a pedophile. Since that seems to be your immediate interpretation of what I was saying, I submit to you that you actually have much more in common with Jared Fogle than I do.
Oh, and Hey; If it’s your birthday, GFY 😀
Believe it or not, there’s room for you to misinterpret that too.

Chill out man. I took the comment as you meant it, with humor. I thought my response had humor as well. Hence the emoticon.

I think most people took your response as a harmless joke , my first thought was when read his initial post wishing your daughter a happy b day was to respond much the same way as you did , with perhaps a side note along the lines of Norman Bates is in the house ,
That is a joke by the way , so to no common sense don’t get your undies in a knot .
