Please join me in wishing the elegant and remarkably limber Mrs TBogg (seen above with a younger, happier, pre-Beckham Satchmo) a Happy Birthday today. She will be spending the day with "her boys" while I spend the day traveling around this fair city of ours trying find out who I have to sleep with in order to get her a Wii.
Sweet Jesus on a Segway, Christmas was, like, months ago and Wii’s are still harder to find than an Army recruiter who reached his quota at CPAC. I’ve reached the point where I’m embarrassed to ask salesclerks if they have any in stock because I hate that look of contempt mixed with pity.
It’s kind of the same look that I give tourists when they ask for directions to Sea World before I send them on their way… to Tijuana. I’m just multicultural that way.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Tbogg. Hope you get your Wii, or at least a MacBook Air.
Happy Birthday!
I picture Satchmo as Maurice Chevalier singing “Those were the days, my friend…I thought they’d never end…”
Many happy returns Mrs. T.
Happiest of birthdays, Mrs. TBogg. As always, you are too much of a hottie for him, but I’m sure that makes him extra grateful. *g*
aw. Happy birthday, Mrs. Tbogg.
ebay? No, not as in: “where did you find such a lovely partner in life — oh, and where’d you meet your wife?” but in: lots of wiis being auctioned off. Not cheap, so it’d literally be pay-to-play.
Happiest of B-days, Mrs. TBogg. Wii’s are scarcer these days than an honest politician, but getting a MacBook Pro would definitely ease my lusting after the mythical Wii-in-stock:

Happy birthday Mrs. Tbogg.
I myself was 39 for 5 years.
happy birthday mrs. tbogg. And congratulations to mr. tbogg for the wisdom to get hitched to her.

Happy 29th birthday, Mrs. B.
Happy Birthday, Mrs. TBogg. Once I asked about Wiis at Target, and the guy at the register was able to print out the stock at every Target store in the area.
Happy birthday.
Today happens to be my partner’s birthday as well. But I planned my shopping better (this year) than Tbogg did.
He gives me a list, with links, a month in advance. He knows how to manage my haplessness.
Happy BD. Enjoy your day with the boys.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Tbogg !
Mr TBogg, a WII? really ? I don’t have to tell you it’s a short drive to plenty of decent jewelry emporiums in La Jolla
but ok, we saw WII’s at the Big W last week end
My bassett sleeps on my shoulder or anywhere else that’s convenient. My favorite is when they lie on their back–it’s a glorious sight. I don’t know about the situation right this minute, but I thought you were in LA, and they did have them at the Target at 3535 S La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90016.
Also How to Find a Wii
Craig’s List may be useful; I’m sure Ebay is way overpriced on them. Good luck.
Happy Birtheay Mrs. Tbogg.
happy BD, mrs Tbogg.
remember, you’ll always be closer to 30 than to 20
Happy Birthday Mrs. Tbogg. As a woman of a certain age myself, I’ll pass this little tip along.
Only count your age in 5 year increments. I, myself have been “damn near 50″ for 3+ years now. And I will continue to be that until I’m ready to be “damn near 55″.
Just a thought. And good luck on that gift T.
You are a bad, bad man, Tbogg and deserve everything that happens to you. Except Bush. And Cheney. And the SCLM. Including Tweety. And the DLC. Well, maybe the DLC.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Tbogg. You share a birthday with another great woman in the world, my wife. Hope yours is happy one.
Happy Birthday to the gregarious and not-easily-thwarted-I’m-sure Mrs. TBogg.
As for lying about birthdays, I don’t understand the repeated pre-milestone thing. I’ve always found it better to lie about it in the opposite direction. For one thing, people seem to look surprised, and not in a good way, when I say my real age. (It may have something to do with the beard*.) But I’m told I look pretty good for 65.
*That’s facial hair, not Mrs. Cap’n Phealy. Damn young’uns with their slang.
dude, if you are in need of apology, groveling, or other suck up materials check out these
i deliver to the beach all the time.
I work near the Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center. There are still 200 people lined up every morning waiting for the store to open. Three months after Christmas.
Happy Birthday Mrs. T. The photo is proof once again that the Mr. married above his station.
How about settling for a Playstation 3 and that way you get a built-in Blu Ray DVD player too?
Thanks for re-posting this great pic of the birthday girl and the mighty Satchmo. It was one of my favorites from your old site.
How about this? They deliver!

Happy birthday, Mrs. Tbogg.
A most blessed day to all at Casa TBogg.
Happy birthday, Mrs Tbogg. Good luck with the Wii. I won’t tell you what my partner paid for one, but if you do get one, Tom probably deserves a special thank you.
Mrs. Tbogg, muy feliz cumpleaños, as we who have been misdirected by Mr. T to Tijuana now say.
One way I’ve found helpful to search for something.
Thank you all so much for the kind BDay wishes. Tbogg has been trying to get my Wii since Valentine’s Day and it really is something that I asked for. So hopefully we will be able to track one down before my next 39th birthday. Thank you all again for the warm thoughts and giggles.
I remember my mmblethpft-th like it was yesteryear. Sadly, it was more than that.
Remember, though, every day above ground is a good one.
Best wishes and enjoy many happy returns.
Happy Birthday, it don’t matter what number it is, to the inimitably smokin’ and fantastically intelligent Mrs. Bogg, for marrying someone so funny and decent and kind.
Bless you both. You give me hope.
And thank you, TBogg, for making me laugh and think so consistently, and to Mrs. Bogg, for being so patient about what must be the time and effort necessary to come up with the smart comedy you do.
One day, meeting you both will be an honor.
BTW, T. Some exotic photos of the specatuclar and alluring Mrs. Bogg would do lots for your traffic.
Just sayin’.
Again, all the best to both of you, and to the LTC as well.
Happy (belated) birthday, Mrs. TBogg. And if you decide you don’t like the way the dates pile up, just start counting backwards next time.
(As for Sea World / San Diego, I am not ashamed to admit that Spousal Unit & I had a great time there on our honeymoon. Our recent visit to the Orlando version, not so much. Either the franchise hasn’t done as well as our marriage over the past 15 years, or Orlando just svcks dunkey balls.)
Happy belated, MrsTBogg.
You’ve probably found your Wii already, but when I was looking for Sprout’s for Christmas, I discovered Target was putting 10 out first thing every morning. They were always gone by firstthing:15, but they were sold at the normal price ($250?). We (or rather, Nana) ended up buying online for $600.
Yay for you!
I myself was 39 for 5 years.
As I am always fond of telling my wife, Pick an age you like – and stick with it.
Of course, my ex-wife would have to go and pick “nineteen”…
Be well.
Keep your others well.
Thank you.
