Hopefully Cali doesn't magically start looking at the forums and see this.

OKAY SO!

As you may or may not know, Cali's birthday is coming up on the 19th and Father's Day is the day after. It's a big weekend for Cali. He's turning 26 and celebrating Father's Day numero tres! He's been pretty down lately because the whole unstable jobs thing and having to pawn the TV and 360 and generally struggling with money. So aside from the big surprise I have planned for him, I'm coming up with other little surprises to help make the day that much more special. I'm working REALLY REALLY HARD to make these things work, so please try not to ruin them! >: If you mention it in chat, make sure Cali isn't around first. Seriously. Please!

I have plans for his birthday, but there's something I want you guys to help me with. I'm going to make him a digital card for you guys to 'sign' so that someone can present it to him in some sort of creative way while I'm out getting things for him. Just as a pre-present pick me up, you know? Get him in a good mood for his bday celebration. All I need you to do is to open up MS paint and make a little message to Cali for his bday. It can be a little picture or just text. Handwritten (with a mouse, of course) would be nice, but if you have shitty handwriting, just do it in typed text. Don't post it here though! Send it to my email: runettareborn@gmail.com. Just in case. I suppose you could PM it to me also in chat as long as Cali isn't on also.

Here is an example, courtesy of Cyrus. Thanks Cyrus!

I'll keep track of who sends things in here.

If you guys want to help pitch in for Cali's other, VERY LARGE AND EXPENSIVE gift, PM me either here or in chat. Doing so gets you a food item made in your honor, to be filmed when presented to him in a very ceremonial and silly way. This can be made in a special way, as per your instructions, to give it some personal flair. I'll do my best to make it special for you.

As a small suggestion, you guys have 2 computers right? One of the admins could temporarily ban him from the forums or make it so he can't see this particular board, or IP ban the computer he uses most. Just a thought

That was actually the plan last night but I think Donut was having some trouble getting it to work.

Updated the list!

Fucking fuck. I wish I could whip something real quick. If I'm not back by his birthday, tell him I said happy brithday. NEVERMIND ALL THAT SHIT I HAVE MADE SOMETHING. IT IS AMAZING AND IT TOOK AT LEAST AN HOUR OR 2 IN PAINT. FUCK YEAH

Sent mine, AFTER 15 MINUTERS OF GLORIOUS EFFORT~

CARD IS COMPLETE

God damn that is one awesome card, dood.

That's the most incredible looking card I've EVER fucking seen.

I like the bottom left corner especially.

For everyone who wasn't here when Cali got the card: He said Thank you. He liked it a lot!
