So what do you make for the computer nerd / RPG & board gamer guy for his 40th birthday?

A Brain Monster hat, of course. Complete with four sharp teeth and two large googly eyes.

Luckily he has a very twisted sense of humor and was willing to put it on and pose for pictures. Of course, don’t that pleasant grin fool you. I wasn’t the only one at his surprise party tonight that might be getting a little pay back later on (heh).

His wife organized a surprise party for him, and by all accounts it looked like she managed to completely pull it off. We all gathered in a back room at a local restaurant and brewery and mingled and chatted and nibbled and drank and did a lot of laughing, especially when the presents were being unwrapped.

I’m glad the hat went over well. It was made as a joke, just because I knew a brain-eating monster hat would appeal to his twisted sense of humor The fact that we ended the party by playing a few hands of “Zombie Fluxx” just underscores that point.

Anyway. Happy 40th birthday Jeff! Hope it’s a good one.
