Brian, Abbreviated
He walked into the party like… yacht. Abbreviated man, missing pants, unembarrassed, but bare assed. Cake, PUNCHy punch, kids screaming H.B.D!
Serenaded by open mic readers, feted by muses, celebrated by blogosphere. A party to be remembered; a personality destined to move mountains, if only by click click click on the keyboard and constant commenting.

At dverse, Brian Miller wanted 55-word stories to celebrate his birthday. I even borrowed one of his deVICEs to pay tribute. My comments about his sense of humor and his dedication would be longer than the story so I’ll stop. Happy Birthday, my friend! Peace, Amy

What better way to celebrate a bithday than by being pantsless in public?
(It’s also a pretty good way to celebrate a Tuesday.)
(Or so I’ve heard.)

Slipped in a little Carly Simon. Nice. Can’t be too vain without pants. Or maybe you can and that’s the point. Nah, definitely not Brian. Cool tribute in 55, Amy.

You’re so vain. I bet you think this poem is about you…
Sharp Little Pencil
No, it’s about Brian, ha ha ha. Glad you caught that. I snipped it on purpose to get into the 55-word spirit! Amy

Oh, so it was Brian who Carly Simon was talking about all those years ago, which would have made him…14 or younger. Hmmm.

Suspend belief and just go for it. Besides, the statue of limitations is up for any malfeasance!!
