Happy Birthday, Darrell!

by Little Miss Attila on June 29, 2010

(Engineering Darrell, that is.)

Let’s start off with an evergreen that I could watch a dozen times a day if I were in the mood:

And there’s this. (I would have run “God,” but it has rats. I’ve grown squeamish in my old age.)

If I only could, though, I’d make a deal with God . . .

And we’re so hard to find . . .

Yes, it’s after midnight. So, technically, it’s happy day-after . . . have a blessed year!

Darrell June 29, 2010 at 2:00 am: Now I’m worried. Do you know something I don’t know?
Better not tell me. I’d be pissed for not picking me in the pool.

Thanks for sharing your favorites with me–and all your readers!

I’ve tried to sing that one, BTW. The results were not pretty . . .
