Congratulations, Sir.

Is Fnarf a stranger staff member or something? This whole time, I thought he was just a Slog commenter.

Comment by Jessica

Jessica — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:27:22 -0800

@6: Fnarf has long risen above the mindless babble of Slog commenters and into his own realm. Also, he's been commenting longer than just about everyone here.

Fnarf, aren't you now 20 years overdue to be "renewed"?

Just kidding & congrats!

Happy birthday Fnarf!!! I'll use your birthday as a handy excuse to drink heavily.

Greg, why is Dan a rat bastard?

Remember, Fnarf, according to the Online Guide to Health Checkups for Men 50-64 Years

Prostate Cancer Screening -- Discuss with provider the limitations and benefits of screening PSA and digital rectal exam (schedule latter with Mr. Poe).

You're seriously 50?! You didn't look that old when you were stuffing quarters up your nose at the croc a few years back.

FNARF if your debauched birthday celebrations occur in public, I'll be blaming you for making us all look bad and electing McCain.

@12

Probably because that was "a few years back" and he wasn't 50?

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:48:11 -0800

@15 It is not, that baby is adorable!

FNARF! It's my birthday too! We share a birthday - I don't know what it means, but I like it!

Things I have learned about Fnarf since "meeting" him on Slog:

- He is a wicked Scrabble opponent
- His favorite pie is Strawberry Rhubarb
- He is unapologetic about his taste in music, which leans heavily on British twee
- He has threatened me with bodily harm if I bring a certain Slog commenter to his birthday party

Happy birthday, Fnarf. Your real name may be Steve, but I refuse to call you that.

Comment by Irena

Irena — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:02:33 -0800

That is EXACTLY the expression I always imagine you to have. Only with somewhat less drool.

Get back to us and tell us what you're drinking. Cheers!

Fnarf, you shall always be the man in the golden onesie leotard in my mind.

@16
By "that old" I meant that he didn't look as old as he was (presumably 48) while he was stuffing quarters up his nose. You stupid fuck.

You clearly do, since you felt the need to try to ridicule me. And I do, because I'm not a stupid bitch. Also, I'm not keshmeshi, asshole.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:26:30 -0800

I am humbled.

Mike in MO, when I was born my head was the same size it is today, and the rest of my body was just a teensy dangling scrotum.

Jube, thanks so much for the terrifying reminder. My doc isn't recommending the digital this time; it's the full 20-foot-long Dremel attachment with the rotating blades.

As his age, Fnarf needs to be demolished so we can go with the surface transit option.

Happy Birthday, rabble rouser. Don't be too docile for your age: Go have a drink or three.

Comment by stupid bitch alert: beeeeeep beeeeeep

stupid bitch alert: beeeeeep beeeeeep — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:27:01 -0800

You're doing a marvelous job of ridiculing yourself. Keep it up, keshmeshi.

Comment by Callie

Callie — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:29:25 -0800

@30
This is the last time I respond. I'm seriously not Keshmeshi. You sound stupid. I've been commenting here forever -always as Callie. I was a freaky friday slogger once. Go pick on someone else.

Happy Birthday Fnarf!

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:33:56 -0800

Well I still think you were a cute baby. Even though I wasn't invited to your birthday party.

Happy birthday to Kelly O too!!!

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:38:39 -0800

Callie @31, don't let the little shits get you down. WE know who you are, and that's all that counts.

Poptart, I'm sorry. Facebook me and I'll invite you.

Oh, and Kelly O: that's the best news I've heard all day! Happy birthday!

PopTart, Dan is a rat bastard for putting up a big, splashy post about Fnarf turning 50! while coyly maintaining the fiction that he, himself, is only 34.

Dang, I've got a rehearsal tonight, so will miss wishing you well on the beginning of your second half-century of life!

Keep up the good work, we'll be catching up with you in a couple of years...

And seriously, that baby looks positively EVIL! Like Kubrick & Clarke's "starchild" right after it learned it could detonate orbiting nukes.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:23:45 -0800

I'm not actually having a party tonight. The action is on Saturday. Alan, the Lucksmiths aren't coming. But I may put on a dress and get down and do the hootchie cootchie (if you ask nicely).

That is the funniest thing I've read all day. And with all the Palin stuff out there, that is saying a LOT!!!!

KELLY O — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:13:20 -0800

The thought of that huge head passing thru your mommie - god, oh god.

But, good luck and the advice about prostate is imrtant. Go to a fag doctor, they do know the topic.

I think SLOG died when I tried to post earlier: Happy Birthday, Fnarf!

Oh, and since I get a do-over, Happy Birthday, Kelly O!

@49 for the correct decision that it's @28 for the win!

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:10:21 -0800

Thank you, Reverend. It's pretty close to fin-arf, only try to make it one syllable if you can. Ffffff-narf, fnnn-arf.

I also answer to "Steve" and to "Hey, shithead".

Happy birthday Fnarf! I always appreciate your sagacity (slogacity?)

Too bad I'm a couple thousand miles away from the party. Thanks for the pronunciation guide. (That's how I pronounce it when saying, for example, I fnarfed in my mouth a little just then).

Respectfully,
