Facebook makes me feel bad about myself. Actually, other people's birthday greetings on FB make me feel bad, because you want to know how many I got on my birthday? One.
That's it.
One.
Now, it's possible that it's because my birthday is Christmas Eve and folks might be a little distracted on that day. It's possible. But I think it's just because FB and the birthday fairy hate me.
Well, who needs 'em? I'm throwing myself an un-Facebook unbirthday party and you're invited! Yeah, you. Lurkers too, but don't be mad if I don't know your name. I'll wave, still. You know, that fake, "Hey..." (madly scrambling for your name but can't think of it so the "hey" implied by my wave will just trail off awkwardly in both our inaginations). But it's a wave.
So you don't have to bring anything except for an elephant joke and a birthday greeting. Just drop it off in the comment box. I had a book of 1001 of them when I was a kid and I still miss that book. If you don't know any elephant jokes, you can gimme a knock-knock one instead.
Anyway, I'm a giver. I give people my presents on my birthday all the time. (I'm sure I'd do it even it wasn't Christmas Eve. No, I would.) (Maybe I wouldn't.) For my unbirthday, I'm giving you my two favorite elephant jokes. The first one is actually my life motto. Or one of them, because I have maybe...twenty.
How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.
Why do elephants lie on their backs?
To trip low flying canaries.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
I like you guys so much, I'm throwing in an extra, just for you.
What's gray and lights up?
An electric elephant.
Happy unbirthday to me!

I guess it's kind a "no soap radio" thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_soap_radio
But I promise we never do it to try to make people feel stupid. It just cracks us up. And then people think we're stupid, so that's okay.
I can't do a joke. This is too much pressure. I'd be better sending you a gift. Send me your address and I'll send you a belated birthday present!
Um . . . happy birthday? Was I a terrible friend that neglected to write on your wall?
Next year, I'll make up. I'll write on your wall like 590 times . . . and get all my friends to do it too . . .
This is the power of Facebook!
What time is it when 10 elephants are chasing you?
Ten after one.
Happy un-birthday.
"how do you escape if an elephant eats you?"
You run around and around til you are all pooped out!!!!!!
My mom has a late December birthday and has mentioned the same thing. Hey, here's a non-knock knock joke.
There are three kinds of mathematicians...
Those who can add and those who can't.
Good?
Hey, I don't think I've found you on Facebook yet. I might not have even BEEN on Facebook before Christmas (not sure)! SO...I'm off the hook? Yes?
But I must say that I LOVED getting happy birthday greetings from everyone both on my blog and on the Annex and on Facebook. Loved, loved LOVED it...and I didn't think it would matter, or I would care, but it did and I did.
SO....I want to wish you the most fabulous birthday where you find a wadded up $20 bill in the pair of jeans you haven't worn for awhile because you didn't think you could fit into them...but today they magically zip up, and there's that $20 bill. I hope you feel gloriously happy and abundantly loved. And I hope Kenny spoils you rotten!
Oh, yeah, and Luisa already stole my favorite knock-knock joke! (Best one ever.) xo
How can you stop a charging elephant?
Take away his credit cards.
I just had so much fun reading all the jokes in your comment box.

Happy unbirthday, but birthday!
