Since I've been recently somewhat lax on my personal information, guess it's relatively not out of line for me to post this.
I had very recently my 31st birthday... I.e. I turned 30.
And for that celebration, I had delicious and moist cake.
Actually, I had two cakes. Both were very delicious and moist. And I'm still alive.
There's not much point in this post but I just wanted to show the cake(s). Feel free to not read this post.

Clever.
I'll be turning a quarter of a century old in October, and I'm hoping for an ice cream cake (it too can be delicious and moist, but if it's too moist, it changes from a cake to a puddle).
It's nice to be on a forum and not be the oldest person there. :P
Cause lately, I feel like I'm a grandpa to half the members. ^^;;

an age divisible by ten calls for huge parties. Not as huge as a power of two, but huge nonetheless. Hope you complied :)
although I'm a tad late now: Happy Birthday!
feel free to not read this addendum, it was only clever once.

Sorry to double post, but I just had to post about how remarkably well shot the photo is, and how identical the cakes are in size and position in the photos. Using Photoshop I did an overlay which is kind of trippy:
...And a difference cake, which is kind of scary:
Happy Birthday, I present you with cake amalgamation!
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs
Oh, THAT'S where my brick went. Who the hell would bake it into a cake is beyond me.
*goes back to attempting to harness latent telekinetic abilities by levitating the brick*

My condolences. Your youth is now officially behind, so you are not young anymore. Now you are middle-aged. Expect existential crises, weight gain and slow but inevitable deterioration of health.
Being there, doing that...

While all of those are true, they are also inevitable, and making my life a misery by worrying about it all is not exactly a good mileage for the remaining time. Some day or two, I will see I'm too old for some things I previously thought I was too young for, but that kind of things do happen and I'm not worrying about it. I have already grown to accept the fact that I can't accomplish everything I want in one lifetime.

I never got what was so funny about this. I might be from having never seen/played Portal, or (more likely) it being overused.
Also, you're 30?! Damn. I thought you were 25-27 -- shows how much I pay attention :\
Quite clearly posting without consuming enough caffination is not a good idea, so editing 31->30

The whole cake thing in Portal is absurd (as is the enigmatic character that makes those promises about cake), and the ending song, which includes the words I emphasized, is the culmination of that absurdness when given in context of that game. That's why it so easily becomes a meme, even though the cake is not really the focus of the absurdness.
Also, emphasizing the moistness of a cake is a big elephant in the room -- something people inherently appreciate in cakes, but never talk about. Portal made that concept explicitly a topic, and since it's a topic that I was immediately reminded of when I saw this cake that is literally seeping juice, I decided to post about it.
Now, calls for explanations like this are a way of ruining a joke, a way that I don't appreciate that much. But at least I can make it a good explanation worth writing and reading.
can religious people have existential crises? i'm sure i won't have any because i've already asked every question and got every answer, and i'm not even 30.
happy birthday bisqwit. i thought this thread was about the new age movement.
