Undisputed Birthday

[MTGuru]

Just don't lean over your cake, Dale, or Trixie will knock your teeth out when she pops out. Especially if she's wearing a deer head, too.

Nano, that cake is disturbing.... Why is that deer's head in the middle of the clouds like that?

Don't ask ME. It's, like, art.

And that's exactly the nature of art: a mirror. You see a deer in clouds, I see one swimming through a murky dangerous river with a wild sky at the horizon, or just a buck's head stuck offhandedly in a swirly blob cake colored like a 1960s Buick. Perfect for Dale, no?

Neither of us is wrong, but I do hate to point out that my interpretations are less interesting than yours is. And yes, the ambiguity is deliberate.

be the headlight

It's a Darwinian extrapolation suggesting that if we mean to hunt deer from helicopters, we'll have to evolve blue helicopters. Or blue flying deer. Geesh. It's so obvious.

[Denny]

so you can see Alaska from there, eh?

be the headlight

That's as direct as grilled venison gets.

Happy Birthday. Wonder if I can think of any invitations that I could give you to somewhere special? Hmmmmm.

Nope. Best Wishes though.

[Dale]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes from all you old farts who have been around long enough to know who I am!

[Lambchop]

The most important question . . . what is YOUR interpretation of that cake, Dale?

(Thanks for everything! )

[Doug_Tipple]

And are you going to let that mention of the big 60 by unchallenged?

[A-Musing]

Some of us are even older farts, than knowing who you am.

Thanks for C&F, young fella.

And many more turns round the Sun, to ye.

Happy belated birthday Dale!

The swirls on the cake remind me of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
