Today, February the 28th, is the birthday of Daniel Handler, and perhaps also of Lemony Snicket! Mr. Handler is fifty-one years old (and Mr. Snicket, who knows?). Let's wish them many non-unfortunate returns today.

To Daniel Handler: I wish you a very happy birthday and I hope that you will live a long and happy life, and continue to inspire the world with your great ideas. I’m sorry if I came of as demanding at the webinar, and I now understand that it’s sometimes better if you don’t have all the answers. To Lemony Snicket: You are a heartless monster who doesn’t even deserve a birthday, let alone a happy one. If my suspicions are correct, this birthday will be your last, so enjoy it while you can. Also, maybe I wouldn’t be theorising so much if your narration wasn’t about as reliable as a paper backpack.

To Whom It May Concern (Mr. Handler and possibly Mr. Snicket)
It has come to my attention that your birthday is in fact today.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you many happy returns of the day and fervently hope that you are not captured, eaten, captured and eaten, bitten by a snake of dubious temperament, thrown out of a window, forced to perform in a crime masking as a performance, given gum as a meal, subjected to terrible piano, violin, or glass armonica playing at any volume, pushed down an elevator shaft, stowed away inside an ugly fountain, on the run from the authorities or your relatives, in a room slowly filing up with water, given a food that you absolutely cannot eat due to your physical condition, stuck with a dreadful orator in a cave, dead, dying, soon to leave this world, stuck with a dreadful singer in a submarine masquerading as an octopus, listening to the tolling of a rather judgmental clock, missing, presumed missing, writing a much happier series of children’s stories, or meeting with that woman who said that she knew the aunt of the milkman who would deliver two bottles of cream to the house of the man you have been searching for for a very long time.
Instead, I hope that you are spending time with your family, and partaking in the consumption of a baked good of the non-poisonous variety.
All the best, (name obscured)

I hope he eats a solid breakfast that is not composed of poison.

I'm happy we have a thread for this. I think the last couple of years we've mostly ignored today and it felt always somehow wrong, like we're in a quarrel with Daniel, even though it was just a case of everyone probably being too busy to remember or make it a thread.
Let's hope Danny lives to be at least a 100!

“Wishing, like sipping a glass of punch, or pulling aside a bearskin rug in order to access a hidden trapdoor in the floor, is merely a quiet way to spend one's time before the candles are extinguished on one's birthday cake.” -- Lemony Snicket
Happy Birthday, Mr. Handler! Fifty-one lit candles on a cake sounds like an unfortunate event waiting to happen, so be sure to keep a fire extinguisher (or a certain secret organization) nearby.

A very merry birthday, Mr Handler, and a prosperous year (hopefully better than the one we have just had). Next year, of course, you will be a very Snickety age, so this will be something to look forward to!

I'd like to wish Mr. Handler a Happy Birthday. As for Mr. Snicket, there's only a 0.2739% chance of it being his birthday, so I will refrain from giving a statistically improbable congratulations.
