I feel like such a barbarian. I forgot to wish the lovely and talented Jeffrey Channing Wells a happy birthday yesterday. Thank you for reaching into the depths of your imagination to keep us entertained.
The simple fix for missing a chance to wish someone a happy birthday is to wish them a happy unbirthday for the rest of the year. Just make sure that you don’t make an unbirthday wish on their birthday — that’s unforgivable.
Cyborgs and reptoids in human guise will reveal themselves to the vigilant by their outbursts of misanthropy. They are coming for us all and will act swiftly once they believe their victory is assured. We must kill misanthropists without warning or mercy. True humans should be as cheerful as Disney animatronics and Japanese robot clerks.
Not to worry, I’m convinced the true masters of the English Language are so few and far between there ought to be an award and a suffix for the accomplishment.
Not to brag, but many years ago, I actually did win an award for it. Unfortunately, the award was not accompanied by a suffix. However, it is nice to be able to list the accolade on my résumé. I will admit to occasionally being lazy with my usage. Sometimes it’s just so much fun to say things like “ain’t never”.
If it makes you feel any better, Ogden, the dictionary does indeed show “misanthropist” as a valid alternative to “misanthrope”. Usage was much higher prior to 1900. Maybe there were a lot more misanthropists back then.
Oh no!
Roborat!

I should like to second this. Here’s to many more happy returns!
Joyeux anniversaire, Jeff!
It’s still yesterday here. Happy Birthday JC!
I am a churl, and thank Lady Manifesta for bringing this milestone to my attention!
Jeff, thank you for channeling alternate realities for us to enjoy. Happy Birthday!

Happy unbirthday, Jeffrey!
Happy Birthday JCW! The world is a saner place with your madness in it.
Aw, thanks, guys! You’re really making my day! Thanks for the well-wishes!
A little late, but best wishes anyway.
Happy belated birthday to you, sir!
Are thinks about to get a whole lot funkier?
….No, I think Dr. Lee built that one and Mr. Green is probably piloting it.
If Tigerlily had built it, that robot would be wearing at least a brightly colored waistcoat and stylin’ hat.
The Clanks are invading from an alternate universe!
One of Agatha Heterodyne’s creations, no doubt.
Shouldn’t there be a Cockroach straining at it leash?
OK. Clearly *a* Stainless Steel Rat, but is he Slippery?
Only by degrees.
*groan*
Okay, well played.
Happy belated birthday, Mr. Channing.
More like rats of “DIM”, amirite?
A CHALLENGER APPEARS
Does Tigerlily Jones do clockwork rats?
This isn’t a clockwork rat.
You can tell by the lack of a comically large windup key.
Maybe it’s one of the ones where you draw back on wheels on the bottom to wind it.
I don’t think it runs on fusion pie…
Way too small. Perhaps some kind of tart . . .
Are they all itinerant IT professionals then? If he’s Babbage does that mean we’re going to get a guest appearance by Lovelace?

*misanthropes. I apologize for my lack of fluency in my native language. I am merely human.

“Maybe there were a lot more misanthropists back then.”
Yes! We’re winning! Go humans! Let a smile be your challenge and your response and have a nice day!
Miss Anthrope. I knew her. She didn’t like other people.
Titus Misanthrope’s mother?
Given where we are, I think the guard with the thumb can be excused for not smelling a rat.
Oh noes. It’s a Skeevaton! https://images.uesp.net/thumb/c/c5/ON-creature-Skeevaton.jpg/200px-ON-creature-Skeevaton.jpg (It’s a robotic wind up mouse creature from ESO xD)
