HBD from Yahoo!

Dec 28th 2006 at 1:03 AM

On your birthday, go to your my.yahoo page, and see if you get a nice message with a tiny craptastic pixellated mess right next to it.

What, exactly, is that yellow, green and orange splotch supposed to be?  A putrescent jack-o-lantern with U.S.S.R. carved into it?

[note to self:  I thought I'd clicked the cross-post from vox checkbox.  Is this going to double-post in lj?]

Whatever you do, don't open it! O_O;;;

It fills me with trepidation. I eye it constantly. I can't wait for the day to be over and the little icon thingy to be gone.

The Cold War lives! Happy Birthday!

Thank you! With all the fantastic clip art on the web, how could Yahoo not obtain a discernible icon?

I shall not attempt to answer the rhetorical. Yahoo needs more rotating purple cakes.

Happy birthday!! It looks like maybe a fruit. A birthday fruit?

 dblume on Dec 29th 2006 at 12:25 AM
Thank you! Yes! I see other fruit now, not just gourds. Little comfort though, since it's still eerily luminescent.

Happy birthday! I think maybe it's a lemon with some nice decorations on it. or perhaps radioactive, or with the chickenpox...

Thank you! You and Zannah are on the right track. A decorative, luminescent birthday lemon. Still... I'm watching it carefully until it goes away. And then I'm disinfecting the spot. In case you're right about it being diseased.

I shudder to think that that thing was silently watching over me the whole day.
