I have been collecting links to all the birthday wishes that were posted for PZ so everyone can enjoy them (yes, things are a little crazy at the moment because I have a job interview today, too).
If I have missed the link to your birthday wish, please do send it to me so I can add it to the list.
Note: Squid photo by Adam Laverty (I am no expert on squishy creatures, but isn't that really a cuttlefish in the photo and not a squid? The photographer identified it as a squid, which is why I named it as such, too).
10,000 Birds managed to post a birthday wish, despite the fact that Mike, the author, is currently in a meeting on the west coast

Good luck with the job interview!
No Phawrongula? I'm shocked.
Good luck.
I join the chorus wishing you well in that job interview. (Have you ever considered a job out here in the Midwest?)
i was disappointed by the lack of phawrongula, too. i sent 'em email, but i guess they were busy spoofing someone else this year.
and of course i'd take a job in the midwest! well, if it's a real job and not the formal fakery that i have been subjected to these past two years. but that's a rant best left for when i have the time and energy.
I grew up in the midwest. In actuality, even though I have a fairly nice setup where I am, I still wish I could return there, particularly Michigan, Ohio, or the Chicago area.
Maybe one day...
I wasn't aware that Chicago was included in the midwest - seems rather northern to me.
I swear I saw some other bloggers participate - perhaps they did not e-mail you....
