The Almost Birthday.
My oldest child just turned 20, and I went through with the earlier outlined plan for his party- since he's not quite 21 yet I got him some non-alcoholic beer (not quite beer) and took a box of cake mix and stuck crayons on top of it (not quite a cake and candles) and had one of his friends come over in a dress (a not quite girl to share his not quite beer with).

Pics or it didn't happen, you say? See replies.

Excellent work
That's very good indeed.

Heh.
It was one of my better schemes. And actually, I did give him real beer and a real cake- a four pack of Blithering Idiot (which my younger son is holding, on the right) and Winnie the Pooh cupcakes (just so I could tell him he had some Pooh on his cake).

The best part was when the obnoxious neighbor came and stood by the fence staring at us as we sat around the fire, and I just smiled back at him. God knows what was going through his thick skull...

I applaud you, sir.

Blithering Idiot
is an awesome name for a drink of any description.

Aptly named, too.
It's a barleywine, so drinking more than two of them will turn you into a blithering idiot, as well as being the act of one.

He is indeed.
As we sat around the fire he stood with his dog as close to the fence as he could get and glared at us.

My son and I smiled cheerfully back at him until he stalked off.

My son is a little over six feet tall.
His friend is about five feet tall and weighs maybe 100 lbs, if that.

His official nickname is Pocket Christ.
