On your birthday in...

[ninethreecoupe]

I just turned 21 yesterday (hell fuckin yeah) and I was bored and started wondering about things in history that have happened on my birthday. Most notable that I already knew were the Titanic sinking (starting to sink, still counts) and President Lincoln getting shot. So what happened on your birthday in history?

[toycar]

Historic events on my birthday;

-Epic parties
-2 fist fights I proudly won
-Had sex with a stripper, and I didn't even know her name
-Pee'd on someone
-I finished an entire 1/5th of Southern Comfort before 5 pm once.
-Drove a school bus on my drunken slumber of a birthday party once.
-Smashed a gas r/c car through hobbytown's retail window
-Went to jail 5 times-one time I went for driving while suspended and I walked to the gas station. Cop saw me driving earlier, had an incident, during warrant check learned my DL was suspended, took me to jail for driving while suspended but I WALKED to the store since I was pretty hammered.
-Speaking of jail(fuck you snake river correctional) and birthdays-got hammered in jail on some home made jungle juice on my b-day one year.
-Banged two chicks at once, then each individually before I ate their golden grahams and left a fake number for them to call me. Fat chicks, meh, it was my birthday so whatever.

Yup. Thats the only history that matters that ever happened on my Birthday.
