Last June, I was sitting at my in-laws house mindlessly browsing on my phone to find a notification from WordPress. What!!?? Back then I would usually only get one notification per week. Naturally, I needed to check out this comment from an actual person who wasn’t even married to me. Who could this new person be?
Enter the man, the myth, the legend…
El Guapo!
I’m one of many bloggers that El Guapo has befriended. El Guapo really goes out of his way to not only write a great blog, but to make everyone feel welcome, and to encourage comments, interactions, and friendship. It’s generous bloggers like El Guapo who really make blogging both fun AND meaningful. I’ve also met him (and a few other blogger friends) in person, but I’m afraid of saying too much and making Ginger super jealous…
Anyway because today is his birthday, I wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday, Foolishness Style!
Today’s music….
Birthdays… Who doesn’t like celebrating the day they came into the world, naked and screaming? So, for today’s quiz, what’s the best way to celebrate a birthday?
Alright, thanks to Gingersnaap, there are a lot of other posts out there dedicated to El Guapo today. Here are a few of them. Happy Birthday El Guapo!!! Hope you have a good one! No one deserves it more than you.
Okay, there are SO many, I give up… If you click on Red’s link, you will find even more…
Restaurant hop all day long, going from free birthday goodies to free birthday goodies. My birthday is next week. I’ve already got the free ice cream coupon ready to go. Freakishly exciting birthdays don’t just happen, you know. Lots of planning is involved. And maybe a groupon or two.
We really should do this! We never plan until the last minute which guarantees we miss out on all sorts of free stuff.
Awesome…forget Ginger, I’m jealous. Beautiful pic!!
Well, Ginger has a serious girl crush on the person who was photo-shopped out of this picture…
Caaaaaaakkkkeeeee
I know. That’s the only reason I have even birthdays the last few years.
Drink and eat cake while naked … Just visiting his huge family … Happy Birthday Guapo!
Yeah, with so many good options, why not combine them!? And maybe throw in some Karaoke too…

I think it’s tricky to find the delicate balance between ‘eh, another birthday. No big.’ and ‘it’s my birthday everybody! Look at me! Look at me!’
It is… but that shouldn’t prevent you from wearing a birthday dress! Because what’s a birthday if not an opportunity to wear a really great dress…
Bloggers like this make what we do so much more fun and amazing. And I am just loving your poll.
Thanks Samantha! And it’s always great to see you.
L&L,
Great post, and can’t believe I recognize the three faces on your picture…
BTW, my post will only be live tomorrow… I know. I’m a pain.

Nah, it is supposed to be Friday Foolishness after all.

I love me some El Guapo. He was one of the first people I found here on WordPress, and you’re right, he’s a standup guy.
I know; I think El Guapo welcomes more newcomers into the fold than any other blogger!
LOVE THE POLL! And I must say, you picked great music.
Awesome to see the smiling face, too.
Happy birthday, El Guapo!
Yeah, I didn’t realize I’d be the only one adding faces to the names… And thanks for helping organize it! (I got about 50% of my links from your blog.)
There are so many who come through the turnstile at M3, I can believe it.
I am super duper jealous!!
I think there are a lot more people with girl crushes on TMWGITU than I realized…
He is a great blogging buddy, that’s for sure. And I like your idea of eating cake until comatose!
Sadly, I eat everything until comatose, or at least the point of diminishing returns…
HA! Loved the tune!
I picked “other”, because I am running around screaming while naked right at this moment!
Later, I hope to pass out in a booze filled cake.
Thanks so much, L&L!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, and that sounds like the best of all worlds! Happy Happy Birthday El Guapo!!!
I adore him. I love that so many people did this.
El Guapo is great! Always there with encouragement when you need encouragement, and humor when you need humor.
Exactly!
HELL YES I’M JEALOUS!!! But i will get over it, I guess! Thanks L&L!
Ginger, thanks so much for organizing all of this! It was tons of fun participating in this! (My stupid zombie card alone entertained me for hours.)
I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting The Guap in person but I hope to soon. Yay Guapo!
Yeah, we all missed you. And you missed out on some serious burgers too!

I heartily concur with everything you said! El Guapo is the best!!
Yes! Friendly bloggers make blogging so much better!
All the options are so tempting! Oh wow. Anyne who’s guapo, good in my book. lol! Happy birthday to him. I enjoyed this post.
He’s another blogger, and an awesome one at that!
Why not do all the first four choices on yon quiz, one after the other?
Then once completed, rinse and REPEAT!
Birthday: American style!
That does sound like the best of all worlds.

Holy COW, that’s a lot of birthday wishes. Very cool. By the way, my Unbirthday is today. And tomorrow. And everyday except June 29th.
Here’s the deal on Unbirthdays. On Unbirthdays you drink. On birthdays, you also drink, but heavily…
I am not big into birthdays in that I don’t need presents or flowers.
But.
I do like a little homemade card from the Hubby and the boy. I get mean if I don’t get my homemade card. Their words are precious to me, and so few people actually write letters anymore.
That’s so true. We sometimes have the kids make cards, but even my husband and I don’t do that anymore. And we really should, especially considering how much nicer it is to wish someone Happy Birthday from the heart, and NOT with a schmaltzy greeting card… Of course, I might want to make something better for my husband than a zombie, Marilyn, Star Wars card, but is seemed appropriate for El Guapo.
