smell like a monkey….
Yesterday was MPS’s birthday.
The day of the birth of the pain in my arse my husband.
When my father was his age he was a grandparent.
Shit, MPS, you are oooooooooooold.
He had his heart set on an iphone. I twitter teased about taking him to Sydney to go to the opening of the Apple Store. I also threatened to buy him a household appliance.
So the bastard went out and bought himself this:
A 16gig ipod touch. At four-fucking-hundred and fifty dollars.
And here was I feeling all guilty and shit and making him an iphone cake, and contemplating favours… favours boy. You know what that means…
But you went and bought yourself a present. So meh. I’m all sleepy like.
Boo serenaded him with
Happy Birthday to you
You live in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too…
Happy Birthday MPS, when I stop seething and get over the fact that we can’t eat for the next month, I may consider giving you that present.
And no photos of the iphone cake. Cause it looked like crap. No, it looked like some bastard had eaten a shit load of licorice and crapped on a cake board. With candles.

Oh no he didn’t!

Happy Birthday!
And favours? Seriously? You must still love him after all this time!
(Nat’s birthday is in 11 days and I am pleading morning sickness, hehe)

That’s some very expensive prettiness.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
huh. how does that translate into $US? (yeah, i’m all lazy and don’t want to do the math myself, but i’m curious how it compares… plus you DO know that the new and improved — less expensive — iphone comes out in july??? he coulda delayed that instant gratification a smidge and come out ahead…)

Note to self - never be taking a sip of a beverage when reading Magneto Bold Too. *wiping the laptop screen clean from coke zero*
eaten a shit load of licorice and crapped on a cake board. With candles? You must have been to the same cake making course as me…lmao
Happy birthday, Kelley’s husband!!

My cake making is as good as yours by the sounds of it *snigger* .
The Teen refused to let me make a cake -said nobody is allowed to sing HB anymore .. it is my cake decorating maybe.
What did you get for your birthday ? or what are you getting … revenge.
Now I forgot what I wanted to say …
I know …be careful what you wish for and say about old and ‘grandparents’ …didn’t you read Veronica’s post .

Smart move, MPS! I totally would have done the same thing myself. It’s the only way to ensure you get the precise gift you want, and never get another, ever.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:34 am
Um, isn’t that more than an iPhone costs now?
MPS, you are in deep shit. Deep shit.
And yet, Mr. Hot is looking at PS3s. Sigh.

I crap licorice on cake boards daily. It’s part of my weight loss plan.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:42 am
From now on, I’m buying myself an expensive bday present, since it means I’ll only have to go without favours. Which, of course, I am currently without, anyways.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:08 am
Happy Birthday to MPS! I buy myself expensive birthday gifts also.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:24 am
I, too, know what “favors” are … and they are ONLY for birthdays and if they win the lotto.
Hey, lotto cash should be shared and shared generously with people who “favor” you.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:35 am
Well that is the best kind of cake to photograph!
NewscasterHottie has an IPhone, I won it for him so we didn’t pay a butt load for it… They are pretty amazing you know!
June 21st, 2008 at 5:07 am
The poor misfortunate bastard.
Run old man, and don’t look back…
June 21st, 2008 at 6:57 am
Wait! I wanna see pics of the cake! Yes, I’m sick like that.
Happy Birthday MPS! Please don’t teach my old man to buy himself expensive toys (unless he’s willing to fork over an equally expensive gift for me).
June 21st, 2008 at 7:17 am
Poor MPS…he will go without favours all for a ipod. I guess you need to go buy some new shoes now Kel. Paybacks a bitch.

“it looked like some bastard had eaten a shit load of licorice and crapped on a cake board”
OMG, what an image and totally funny!
June 21st, 2008 at 8:34 am
Oh yes, this rings true. The husbands birthday was a couple of weeks ago, I spent a while sourcing some vintage 007 books off ebay, a kitchen blow torch that we don’t need but he always lingers over and a keyboard (’cause he has always wanted to learn to play). The VERY day he buys himself a fucking laptop (that we can’t afford) - still means I can use the home computer for my blogging what-nots. (Still the clever bugger bought it on his birthday so I couldn’t shout at him too much).
June 21st, 2008 at 8:36 am
Geez, had his heart set on an iphone so bought an ipod, eh? That’s one cluey man you have there. Have you busted him holding it up to his ear and saying, “Hello? Hello?” yet?
June 21st, 2008 at 10:53 am
I like Boo’s birthday song! Great!
June 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
Oooooooooooooooo that’s a hanging offence!
I’ll bring the rope, coffee and Tim Tams….coz we wanna be in our comfort zone while MPS is out of his
June 21st, 2008 at 11:39 am
Happy B-day MPS…but you are a baaaaaad boy! I think Kelly should teach him a lesson. Oh wait, maybe that’s why he bought the iphone.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:55 am
Jennifer: Yes he did. And he keeps looking at me all sheepish like and showing me the thing and going ‘isn’t it great!’ and I am all ‘I am hungry’
Veronica: Oh he is alright I suppose..
Solomon: Tell me about it.
The Planet of Janet: It is about the same now Aussie $ is at about 96c to US $. The rumours are rife at what the iphone will actually cost here, latest is to buy outright around a grand.
Tina: Next time eat a steak will ya? Normally I am better at making cakes, this one sucked.
Trish: I got an ipod, now I know why! He was buttering me up cause normally he buys me nothing.
Witchypoo: Yeah cause for Fathers Day I am just gunna point at that freaking ipod.
Ree: Thank God MPS isn’t into gaming…
Greta: Sounds like an entertaining, albeit smelly, weight loss plan!
Zoeyjane: Well I am thinking Santa may bring me some VERY expensive shoes…
Shamelessy Sassy: But that expensive???
Maternal Mirth: Exactly. And all they cost is a run through the washing machine for the sheets *snigger*
Dirty Laundry Diva: Oh I totally want one too, but that is not the point. The bastard just went and bought it.
BoxBoy: He is running. All the way to your place.
Sandy: Might chuck a pic on my party blog, haven’t updated that since last year.
Genaine: Hmmmm, good tactic.
Ange: Apparently it tasted OK.
Womb4improvement: OMG! That happened to me last year! I spent aaaaaaaages looking for the perfect gift and he went and bought a PVR. A $500 PVR. Hmmmm, seeing a pattern here..
Naomi: The iphones are not available yet.
Coast Rat: It is from the movie Madagascar. And he made us do all the actions too!
Jayne: Dark choc Tim Tams OK? Will be waiting at the door for you.
Mrs Schmitty: The lesson is no favours for a boy with expensive taste.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Why are expensive presents AND favours mutually exclusive? I expect both on my birthday!!!!
(PS: Like one of the earlier commenters, I’d have hung out for the iphone next month rather than the itouch).
June 21st, 2008 at 12:42 pm
If I could have sex with my iPhone, I would.
Just thought I’d share.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Smart move.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I HATE it when people buy their own birthday gifts!!! Especially something like THAT. Way to up-stage your friends and family there, MPS!
June 21st, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Hmmph bloody men..I want to see the cake..
June 21st, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Ian: Now MPS tells me he is getting a Blackberry through work so that is why he didn’t bother. Methinks he thinks he is getting one for Christmas. And favours come when I am NOT feeling pissed that he spent shit loads of money!
Tranny Head: I am sure you could. Does it vibrate?
OhMommy: The withholding of favours or buying the ipod?
Melain: Exactly!
Frogpondsrock: Might show you… it is not pretty.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:17 pm
How could he do that? How could he not wait? How does he not know that you’ve already bought him one and hidden it away? Hmmph! Men!
June 21st, 2008 at 9:16 pm
My hubby does the exact same thing! Of course, I’m usually more annoyed that he doesn’t give me the opportunity to buy him a gift because he handles the finances and doesn’t buy anything out of budget.
But for Father’s Day, he mentioned that he wanted a Blu-Ray DVD player. He mentioned it one day then came home about 2 days later saying that he bought one because it was a really good deal…and that was his father’s day present. BUT, because it was such a good deal, it hasn’t shipped yet:)hehe.
June 21st, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Hey! no way to email you back….
Because I could do the gardening and you could do the Margaritas!
And uh…you seem just a little passionate about the whole husband/gift thing…? The swearwords sort of give you away…
June 21st, 2008 at 11:30 pm
This is totally something that my husband would do!
Happy Birthday to the husband!
June 22nd, 2008 at 11:46 am
Lol, I’m starting to wonder if we may be secretly married to the same person, my husband would have done exactly that had there been any time inbetween the maccas parties and me having a list of pick up items I’ve got off eBay he hasn’t had a chance to sneak off!
Happy birthday to your hubby!
June 22nd, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Happy Birthday to the husband of she with the almighty purdy shoes.
