Small & Big Turns 1 Year, 1 Month, And 6 Days Old Today

My, my, my. How Small & Big has grown since its auspicious birth on August 15, 2006. We now possess an audience of over five readers (including parents and pets). In celebration, here's a healthy cake for you, our Favoritist Reader. For best results:

1) Print this page from a color printer
2) Use print-out as a model and bake a cake that looks exactly like it
3) Eat non-paper cake
4) With color print-out, wipe face clean

On the day we were borned, we made these three (three!) postings:

Born Again - a short story / essay thingy
Two Liners - poems
Three Liners - more poems

Thanks for reading, Poopsies!

Hungry for more birthday musings? Try these...
So Today's Your Birthday - not that you asked for advice, but...
Separated At Birth? Stephen Colbert And My Cat - hee hee... huh?
(and the follow-up, How My Cat Is Unlike Stephen Colbert)
You Are No Longer A Baby Elephant - layin' on some serious advice

Delicious cake decorated with cute vegetables from www.kitchengarden.org.uk.

Oh! Happy 1 year, 1 month and 6 days old (as of the 21st, that is) Anniversary!!! Cake looks yummy. Since I am trying to loose weight, I'll just take in the beauty of the photo instead of eating a real one....

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!
