I'll have mine up shortly. I just need to finish the Myers-mandated poem. "Song parodying is hard!" :)
Rev. BigDumbChimp also wrote a birthday post - I mention this because he didn't write 'Myers' in it.

Hey, Bora - thanks for the compilation, and for including us. But one minor note: the Two Percent Company's birthday greeting was a team effort, like all of our Rants — not just by Tom, he just sent it over.
Mine has a few cephalopods, but otherwise it's nothing too special. I suck at poetry.
