My dear Graves:

Please accept my most sincere good wishes on the anniversary of your vaginal crowning. I am thankful you were born, studied art, and post about it on Slog. Though I have often taken the art to task -- and yes, sometimes you, too -- the fact you have the passion to post about local art and keep some of benighted peasants abreast of current trends and issues is to be commended.

Happy Birthday, Jen Graves!

Happy Birthday, Ms. Graves! If I had your address, I'd send you a coupon to get that mustache waxed...

Clearly, the answer to birthday agita is to follow Elijah Wood around until he shares or invents or is thrust into that time machine.

Happy birthday! Now I know why I usually like what you post so much, we share an astrological sign. Sincere felicitations for an excellent day.

I had no idea Johnny Depp was aging so well...

@7 - that is meant as a comment upon the portraiture used to illustrate Ms Graves' joyous natal anniversary!

See, this is why people join Facebook - it reminds us when people we know have birthdays and they don't have to make the awkward post that says "It's My Birthday!"

Grats!

Happy Birthday! I second everything Jubilation said, and add that you were right to tell me to shut the fuck up that one time, and undoubtedly a dozen others. Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday, Jen.

And that Courbet always makes me think of Johnny Depp.
