Are You Too Smart For Clickbait? Take This Quiz!

Today is the birthday of longtime Crapper The Minx, and Wo'C Cub Reporter Bill S. (check out his many witty posts in the Bill S.ssays tab on your right), so I've been wading through wingnuts all evening, trying to find someone -- anyone -- who isn't so aroused by the violence surrounding Donald Trump's campaign that they're calling for a Beer Hall Putsch (because beer goes straight to my hips, so the best I could do is an Amstel Light Putsch, and even then I'd have to avoid the Vienna Frank fondue and just have some celery sticks, or maybe a handful of Craisins).

But then s.z. very kindly wrote her own version of those pop quizzes for which Facebook is so justly famous (you know the ones -- Which Cowsill Are You?, or How Well Do You Really Know Larry Hovis?) and I figured taking it would be a lot more fun than reading Pat Buchanan's syndicated column demanding lebensraum for his jowls.

And now...time for dessert! Bill was good enough to not only message me with beefcake suggestions, but even suggest a theme -- O! Canada!, in honor of the state visit by Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau the Younger and Hotter. So as requested, here's Maple Leafer Ryan Reynolds...

Hey, girl. How do you like my segmented thorax?

The Minx didn't submit a request this year, so I'm going to default, as is my wont, to Golden Age Hollywood, and offer up this lovely portrait of a young Loretta Young...

Um, sir? I don't mean to get personal, but your pants appear to have exploded...

All right, put on your party hats, 'cause we're bringin' out the cake...!

No, you're not dreaming! It really is that tuna and mayonnaise Jello all the kids have been talking about (and don't think we skimped on the chopped pimiento!).  The curious thing about this dessert is that the directions say "Yield: 4 to 6 servings", and yet, even when you've served all 4 to 6 of your guests, you'll find you still have 4 to 6 servings left.  Some quirk of quantum mechanics, I guess, and probably why physicists refer to this dish as "Schrödinger's cat food."

Please join me in wishing The Minx and Bill S. (or Bill S! as he is legally known on this date) a very happy natal anniversary. And now...enjoy our traditional...

Sexy Birthday Lizard!
