friends - page 4 - Sean's 15th and 16th birthdays (more on page 5)
Sean in (stark) profile. Hey, look. His smile is spring-loaded. Well, I still don't know. Cute kid though. James Robert, making another face in response to something someone said.
Father and son, actually smiling, and looking in the same direction, at the same time. Sean, extinguishing the cake, while trying to keep his hair from igniting People.
You know who you are. Sean, and Thing.
Sean, James and Stephanie - all looking in different directions David, a boy who's name I don't know, and I believe her name was something like 'Asia'. Wendy and Denise, leaning on something. Wendy, and Sean - demonstrating the family resemblance.
Sean - again smiling - and framed by parts of the two James' faces. Sean. James Robert, deleting the evidence Well... I still don't know his name.
Sean , with some depth of field blurring Wendy, looking at Mike, who's looking at Sean, who's looking at... the back-side of his hair, I guess. Sean and someone's arm. Sean and Chandler, perusing the gifts.
The Amazing Sean-dini, and his Mystical Power of Adhesion. Use the Force (Batteries not Included) Sean, obviously terribly excited about the big day. Picture by James Robert
Ah, there ya' go. Passed out from hunger.
Sean, and his favorite spoon. Should I put the wrong name here? Picture by James Robert
James, goatee wrangling.
Mike, just after he made a face....dammit. Picture by James Robert

Sean, really feeling the effects of not eating anything. Picture by James Robert
What's a birthday dinner without a threat from someone brandishing cutlery?

Sean, taking a look at one of his gifts. James Robert, showing off the bear he "won", spending only 1.23 billion dollars to achieve this win. Mike, Mike's coffee, James Robert, Sean. Poke, poke, poke.
Stop it.

Sean and Mike, with Sean's final gifts... Wendy, Sean and Mike, and Mike's coffee. Saint Sean the MMMuuummmbler! Why's everyone packed into the corner?
Picture by James Robert
...a three-pack of doorstops and a Pooh Go-Together game. Remember that 'comparison' mentioned earlier?
Like father, like son - except with orange-er hair. Rick, with a basketball goal stuck to his glasses.
If you know Rick, you know that things like this just happen from time to time. Sean, really happy about a gift.
Must've got more doorstops.
Picture by James Robert
Sean, still happy about the doorstops. Sean, glowing like one of those old religious paintings. To quote Homer Simpson - 'Mmmmm, floor pie.'
Wendy, pointing at something. James Robert showing off the orange hair. Jeremy's parents, whose names, as is typical for me, I can't remember.
So, it was Sean's 16th birthday party, and something devious was in order.   A simplified version of "Let's Make a Deal" was set up.   After Sean's primary gift, he had three sets of choices: what's in the white bag or what's in the black bag.   The first choice went well - a case for his miniDV.   The second also went rather well - a multi-pack of miniDV tapes.   The third choice was a bit iffy though - a 3-pack of doorstops and a Pooh memory card game.

Two good choices and one bad choice.   Although, in fairness, you never know when a brace of doorstops might come in handy.

Now, a word about Incredible Daves.   By some arcane method, known only to certain adroit kitchen staff, they sensed it was Sean's birthday.   So, being the joke loving gadabouts that kitchen people are known to be, they didn't prepare his meal.   Apparently, to add to the hilarity, they overcooked some of the other food that they did deign to prepare, and allowed still more food to go cold before it was served.

Well, the humor seemed to be such that we just had to share it with someone, but who?   A Manager!   Of course, a Manager!   So, quickly, a manager was summoned...

Well, you can probably figure how it went on from there.
