THE MOST IMPORTANT
CULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFETIME
1. Internet pornography
2. Car alarms
3. Shoes with blinking

4. Pre-cooked, shelf-stable

5. The development of
a nation so absurdly successful and overproductive that the existence
of a worthless, contrary do-nothing slacker like myself is tolerated
BIRTHDAY MISTAKES
1. Holding my breath until
Uma Thurman called to congratulate me
2. Thinking that the police
"can't touch you" on your birthday

the outside of the top of the Hancock Tower instead of inside
in the restaurant
4. Mixing beer, hard liquor
and industrial pipe-cleaning products on an empty stomach
5. Believing that I had
droit du seigneur over the upstairs neighbor
THINGS I PLAN ON DOING
ON MY 134th AND FINAL BIRTHDAY
1. Having a quiet evening
with some of my oldest friends' tombstones
2. Making incomprehensible
jokes about how I outlived Strom Thurmond
3. Asking our alien conquerers
for the day off from working in the salt mines
4. Reminiscing at great
length about movies, books, musicians, and comics that have not
existed for over a century
5. Dying
