Today’s the natal anniversary of our fellow Angeleno and blogger M. (the M. stands for Mystery!) Bouffant, who admits to being born in 19XX, which is obviously a clue, and which I believe means he’s “as old as Dos Equis.” Since the brand was founded in 1897, this would make him one hundred and thirteen years old. However, using the little gray cells, we note that Dos Equis was not imported into the U.S. until 1973! And since “imported into the U.S.” is a euphemism employed by first generation immigrants to describe how their pregnant mothers snuck across the southern border to give illegal life to them on U.S. soil, we can deduce that M. (the M. stands for Monsieur — he’s that classy!) Bouffant is thirty-sevens year old, and the Most Interesting Anchor Baby in the World.

A list of historic coincidences and slightly less interesting people who were also born this day can be found on M.’s blog. (Could he actually be the head of Britain’s MI6, which would make him James Bond’s superior, and currently a woman? Click the link to find out! Then come back and tell me, because I couldn’t actually find that information there.)
Happy birthday, M. You’re kind, generous, and wise beyond your years (unless you’re actually a 113, in which case, would you like some apple sauce? And a straw?).
Happy, happy to one of the koolest kids in Blogland!
