Well, I’m currently watching Cats (the 1998 version not the CGI version) so I guess I’d have to go with the 1st choice at a minimum. Likely grill or order food too.
@msklzannie Just rewatched it along with the live commentary from Andrew Lloyd Webber. I may even try to get in another viewing Sunday before it’s not available for free.

Wow, 4 people under your roof and you let your wife have a underwhelming birthday? SHAME ON YOU! 4 is 2 more than nessesary for a wonderful party! Monday on my birthday, my 85 year old mother in law and my guy put on party hats, stuck a noise maker in their mouths and sang HBD to me at 9pm when my cake finnaly arrived. Nothing underwhelming about my loved ones and a little effort! Of course it wasn’t what it would have been if we weren’t going through this worldwide pandemic but I most deffinetly felt the love!! Don’t mean to jump all over you but I sure as heck hope you guys made her feel special cuz I just know she deserves it!! Happy late B-day to your wife!!
I’m still not clear on why we celebrate birthdays. Is it because it was kinda a long shot that we were going to make it through the past year? Perhaps because the burdens of life are so weighty that each passing year is another milestone towards the sweet release of death? Or is it just another excuse to drink a lot. Because I gotta say, I’m old enough that I don’t need excuses anymore…
Not so much celebrate my birthday, as celebrate i) having boosted my click count by 151 on the previous day’s mehrathon, b) achieving a new daily click streak of 102 [although paltry by others’ record, it’s mine], and 3) surviving another day of forced telework while managing to stay married.
Thank you! It’s tomorrow, but we’re celebrating all weekend because we live in a perpetual now. I’m eating dimsum my roommate made and drinking a blueberry/lemon saketini
Got out of bed, ate food out of a can, then spent the rest of the day working ten hours and getting yelled at/talked shit to by coworkers, friends, and family. Then went to sleep still wishing I were dead just as much as on any other day. I didn’t even remember it was my birthday until someone casually reminded me.
Really not sure why people celebrate these things? Sounds like some kind of weird sense of entitlement to me.
Vodka… Lots and lots of vodka
@thecloudy1 Yummy, yummy potato sweat.
Is today your birthday, Mr. or Ms. Meh Poll Writer?
whatever I chose to do, I’d not tell @mediocrebot about my choice.
Reflect on another year of regret.
@tweezak Awwwww…

Curse time for robbing me of nearly half a year.
My wife just turned 30 Thursday. It was… Underwhelming. Two kids and a pandemic will do that, I suppose.

Happy late B-day to your wife!!

@fuzzmanmatt Shame on you for making her a mile stone birthday underwhelming!
Happy Birthday to you, meh web person.
It’s sweet that you remembered. Uh, where’s my present?
Regret that I spent all my birthday money at one web site the day before, on an all day shopping spree

I’'d do whatever I wanted or needed to do, it’s just another day 'round here so meh.
Just lay on my comfortable bed all day and watch netflix.
Pretty much the same thing I would do on most Saturdays that I have nothing else planned for.
Probably cook for the roommates, which is the same thing I do most nights.
I really hope my next birthday is spent elsewhere.
I think I would jump out of bed, greet the day with a big sunny smile and add 1 to my age. Um, after that, I got nothing.
@macromeh
So it works like this? If you were you previously 40 you’d become 140 y.o. or would it be 401 y.o.?
@Kidsandliz I’m no expert, but I think it goes like this: my age 1
@macromeh well in that case you will need this for your birthday (snicker)

Nothing.
Sleep until it’s over.

If today were my birthday I’d probably shave my dog.
Eat cake
Happy Birthday @Mediocrebot!
Bang my wife
@Rylin0623 You could always pretend it’s your birthday.
@Rylin0623 @TheCO2
you too, hunh?
Be a year older. Duh.
@TheCO2 I came to say that as well…
I had a birthday recently.
Got out of bed, ate food out of a can, then spent the rest of the day working ten hours and getting yelled at/talked shit to by coworkers, friends, and family. Then went to sleep still wishing I were dead just as much as on any other day. I didn’t even remember it was my birthday until someone casually reminded me.

I would organize a small family party, with video games and pizza
