This definition is based on a fictional event. The fact that my dear and loving partner celebrated her birthday yesterday, is not related to this definition in anyway whatsoever. It is simply a coincidence. And, may I repeat, I did not forget her birthday. In fact, I thought of many gifts which I could have easily purchased for her. Thank you. ~ James

So your partner got "Jamesed"?

I believe she was verbotomized. And I don't think she was too pleased with the procedure. ~ James

That bad, huh? Well, an iron makes a useful gift, as it is the perfect size, shape, and weight to make good contact with the forgifter's cranium.

Forgifter? What a wonderful merger of the words "foresight" and "gift". Clearly, I should be be forgiftgiven.

Perhaps a bottle of fine whine with some aged cheesy excuses might work.

No doubt you have been celeberated for exploiting the comissmemoration for the benegift of the verbotomy crowd. Maybe a box of shocklates would help.

petaj petaj - 2007-04-06: 19:53:00
Or may be a celebelation will suffice.
