HAPPY BIRTHDAY KLEINBL00!!!!!!!

The servers sang a special birthday song, much to KB'S chagrin.

Wish him a happy birthday!!!

Let's back up here for a second... Is that a huge cinnamon bun ?

Also is that lady carrying a magazine called Seduced?

It does look that way, I suppose that's why she's so interested in KB's facial expression. Actually I'm convinced it's the giant cinnamon bun, like come on that's great.

'twas a truly giant cinnamon bun.

There were five of us and it got like half eaten.

That lady was in the bathroom with me. Also, both toilets were out of order.

I love the idea of kleinbl00 cringing at an over-the-top rendition of the birthday dirge!

Priceless.

It was pretty funny. Best part was that they sang some proprietary, hand-clapping birthday song that was most definitely loud and obnoxious.

Oh you didn't know that? That's the default restaurant "Happy birthday is copyrighted" song. I always assumed it was nationwide but it might be West Coast. I know it's as far east as Texas but now that you mention it, I've never heard it in Florida, New York or Boston. I hadn't given it much thought.

Patient Zero might have been Red Robin but that is anecdotal with an n of 1.

If it's that "happy-happy-birthday" clappy song, I've heard it in Georgia, both Carolinas, Virginia and Tennessee, so not just a West Coast thing

Doesn't work without the id: http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/09/the-chilis-version-of-happy-birthday-an-elegy/406999/

I'm surprised to see they aren't all the same song. Guess I never payed much attention.

Fanx. Apparently Android 7.1 handles "touch to select all" differently than Android 5.

I reckon Chili's was the first and everyone else just sorta copied it on the assumption that Chili's wouldn't sue.

Happy Birthday KB :) Sounds like the meetup is a multiple success.

Happy Birthday, and many more to come.
