So December 31 is my birthday. Now it started off a little rough because due to some financial problems we had to cancel part of our cable service, the part that airs Stargate; breaks my heart but it is what needs to be done. So I made it halfway through season 8 and I was looking forward to the Battlestar Galactica series but alas, I'll miss it. (However I have a sister-in-law that has a DVR who loves seeing our new daughter so I think I'm going to try and get them to record the shows for me and we'll stop by every weekend to let her see the little one for oh say 3 hours or so! ha ha 
)
But as I was saying, yesterday was my birthday and I knew something was amiss. My wife and brother were in cahoots which always frightens me. So when I walk in the door after getting off work (I actually got off work early but I was told not to come home so I went and parked in a parking lot near the house and called a buddy of mine on the cell, 50 minutes later the cops pulled up wanting to know what was going on and making sure I was alright . . . there's more to that story but it's a bit long and this will be long enough) So anyway when I walk into the door my brother runs up to me and tapes something on my forehead . . .
Ok funny enough but I'm still not sure what is going on, since mind you I didn't see what he put on my head. Though I had some idea . . .
So I go into my kitchen and what do I see setting on my table. The first thing I noticed were the plates.
Across the bottom it reads 'Happy Birthday Samuel' and the glyphs around the rest of the plate he copied from the Season 1 box set that he got me for my present.
But that's not all, there was the cake . . . and the two action figures . . .
That's 4 layers there, he carved them and stacked it all up. The action figures . . . since they don't make them to our knowledge, he made out of GI Joe figures. Teal'c's staff is made out of some Cobra decorations; he painted them, . . . actually had to shave the Teal'c figure. I was quite impressed. What I really thought was funny was how it looked when we lit all the candles, just like coming upon a Ha'tak at night . . .
28 candles . . . not too much room for anything else. So after I blew out all the candles, in one breath I might add, we started slicing into his creation. After we had a few slices off we thought it'd be funny to do a little posing.
So, we got this of Jack & Teal'c searching for Apophis . . .
Yea corney perhaps but we thought it was funny!
All in all I had a great time! Though I knew something was going to happen I was still surprised at all my brother did. Another buddy of ours came over and made his famous taco's which we all ate too much of.
Now with all this you might be curious as to how we brought in the New Year's . . . well believe it or not our festivities had nothing to do with Stargate. We actually cue'd up Transformers:The Movie from back in the 80's. Roughly 4 minutes into the film a narrator comes on and says, "It is the year 2005" which worked out perfectly! Right as we hit midnight he said that line. That buddy that made the taco's said he'd been waiting 19 years to do that! It was really awesome!
At any rate, thanks for reading . . . my brother, though not a big Stargate fan himself, understands our obsession.
From our's to your's . . . Happy New Year!!!
