Happy Birthday Stirling!
As most of you know my good friend Stirling and I are co-collaborators on Pinko. Today Stirling turns 11 29, and I was hoping we could all join in wishing him a happy birthday. Sure, Stirling isn’t perfect. I don’t know anyone who wants the terrorists to win more than he does, and I’m pretty sure he thinks “The Holocaust” is a Tony Hawk extreme sports video game. Still, we love him dearly.
Wish him happy birthday in the comments and Stirling: May a violent but surprisingly moist hailstorm of Babycakes cupcakes rain down on you, your wife and your infant daughter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I’m so glad the universe (and your parents) made you and that you’re my friend. Vive le Stirling.
way 2 go stirling! good job growing old so gracefully!! vive le stirling!
And to think … next year you’ll be thirty!!
The age asymmetry in our office had become nearly unbearable. Thank god that’s over.
stirling is super handsome, as well as artistic, funny and a very good speller (i just spelled “good” wrong while writing that). even when he is busy or stressed out he gives great hugs. also, he is a stellar poppa, though still only a wee thing himself. babies having babies! go stirling!
He’s overrated.
Thanks everyone! I’m in Chicago for the next couple of days birth-daying it up. But don’t worry. I’ll be back to Pinko-nating ASAP!
