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. :)]

Tha's good ta hear... I's a real sign of success ta get through this place without gettin' inta some sort a' trouble or another.

Yeah, if I ever hear a mention of some sort of transforming room or whatever, I try ta keep away. But it kinds sucks, too, because bein' adventurous is a good trait that I don't seem ta have.

He shakes his head.
From mah experience bein' adventurous jus' gets ya in a whole mess a' trouble. Jus' ain't quite worth it.
