Happy Birthday, Mike!

Last Friday was Mike’s birthday – number 44! I had a tee shirt made for him with the single “Magnaclam” floating through space, on the front, while the Magnaclam fleet can be seen on the back. Unfortunately, the colors didn’t come out right – instead of shades of gray & black, they turned out brown. The people who made it said it had something to do with the paper I had the original images printed on, but that makes no sense to me, as they scanned it into their computer. I wanted to put it on a black shirt, but they only do light-colored shirts. Another defect was that they didn’t get the picture on the back centered properly.

Underneath the Magnaclam on the front was the “salute” Mike made up for the Magnaclams: “Oh, hail to the great Magnaclams! May their neutronium shells shine in splendor forever!”

I also had a cake made with a Magnaclam on it, and it turned out better than the shirt. I have a picture of it that didn’t turn out too well, because the flash against the white made everything look washed out.

Sorry about the pictures being cut off at the edge!
