007: Bon Anniversaire à moi

[hawkeyowa]

[It's been one hundred and sixty-three years to the day that Jack obtained statehood. One hundred and sixty-two years prior, he hardly guessed he would get this far. Of course, he hasn't celebrated it every year, and he doesn't know if being in HQ for this one makes it any different. After all, he figured that if a cupcake costs an average $1.99 at a grocery store (plus sales tax, but he'll round it to $2.00 even), he would have wasted $326 in the past one hundred and sixty-three years on cupcakes. Thus, he finds it a little bit useless to celebrate.

Even if he thinks that way, he managed to find a cupcake on his end table this morning with a lovely little note from HQ wishing him a happy one hundred sixty third, and hopefully another one hundred and sixty-three to come. Obviously, he can't waste a perfectly good cupcake.

So yes, Happy Birthday, Jack. :)]

There's no nest of vipers in there, if that's what you're thinking.

[Is it wrong he automatically went on the offensive? Now he feels like a jackass.]

Oh... okay.

Ahh... that food I brought ya. Succotash and persimmon pudding.

[Surprisingly, he did not make it to hear that. He made it simply because he owed Iowa. Though it did give his ego a boost.]

Save your compliments till you've tried it!
