@heartny I once requested to be scheduled to work open to close on my birthday, just to ensure that I’d be at work where nothing really nasty could happen to ruin the day.
I wouldn’t know. My sample space is too small to provide a significant answer. (If anything, it supports the proposition that my best approach to birthday parties is not to have them.)
@f00l@macromeh@phendrick@ircon96 Years ago I used to work on “tall ships” and one July 4th week in NYC the HMS Rose (what I was crew on) was docked at a pier and the USCGC Eagle was also docked there. Early one morning (via using the ship docked at our bow - the Niagara) they took long, yellow, skinny balloons and attached them to the lion that was our figurehead making it look like the thing had a penis. As our captain at the time was laid back about getting up in the morning while docked (since the ships weren’t open until the public until noon) and we didn’t even realize what had happened until about 10am. Many had a good laugh at our expense. The revenge we took wasn’t nearly as creative.
@blaineg@tweezak Did just one person inherit it, or did they have to cut it up into pieces for all the heirs to share?
Or, is it in a trust, they all are part owners, and they have to reserve it to use it, like a time-share?
At home alone, hoping no one notices.
The ISS. I heard it’s out of this world.
@mehcuda67 Sign me up!
Someplace where someone else provides food drink, and other goodies
And that someone else has to do all the cleanup
@f00l someone else’s birthday party is the best place! Everything is taken care of then.
My yacht. If I had one.
@awk I too choose to have my party on his yacht. If he had one.
Chuckie Cheese
@somf69 Darn right! Who doesn’t love animatronic rats?
@somf69 Came here to say this! Though they need to bring back the animatronics.
Anyone that say “at home” has either never had to clean up random bodily fluids from 3-6 different rooms or is into that.
@brennyn it would seem your birthday parties are a little different than mine, sadly(?)
In the kitchen, quietly eating a cake I don’t have to share with anybody.
Bowling alley
The lake!
A bar called “Tears,” where nobody knows your name.
The office. An official excuse for goofing off.

Your house
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
Party at a park, cheaper, kids ocupied and people bring food!
You keep your yacht parties. You like rolling motion?
I want my birthday party at the Playboy mansion, all expenses paid, plus “perks”.
@phendrick You mean STDs?
@blaineg What, they don’t keep a doctor-in-residence just for taking care of that?
@blaineg @phendrick My suspicion is that they really believe that if you’re rich enough, you don’t get STDs.
@blaineg @werehatrack Maybe so, Jeffrey Epstein didn’t die from STDs.
@blaineg @phendrick @werehatrack
But he could have died with them.

@f00l @mediocrebot Where are the anti-pirate torpedoes and missile launchers?
@f00l @phendrick Try running a shot across the bow & you might find out!
@f00l Wow, looks like whoever carved the figurehead is almost as bad at fingers as the bot.
@f00l One would imagine that Bezos specified that the figurehead could be easily replaced.

I can’t do it justice. Just read the article here.

@tweezak Did anything ever happen with Crapwithfriends.com?
/showme Paul Allen’s yacht Octopus
2 heli pads, tender bay, submarine, water line launches for jet skis, basketball court. A truly amazing ship. He used it too.
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@tweezak But he’s dead. Proving once again that he who dies with the most toys is…
dead.

@blaineg @phendrick @tweezak I googled and apparently a Scandinavian woman bought it.
