Penchant shifts Birthday focus

Penchant Lama today shifted his birthday focus outward. Instead of creating exhaustive lists of presents and distributing them to his friends six months before his birthday (and threatening poop bombs for failure to comply), Penchant has decided to give presents on his birthday.

Penchant was inspired by Stillwater, the bear in Zen Shorts.

"Stillwater is a close friend of mine, a diplomat, and a dignitary. When I see a good practice, I adopt that practice as my own. Still, Stillwater could lose a few pounds. He really filled up that swimming pool in his book."

Penchant will begin accepting gift requests in September. His birthday is October. Yes, not a day in October: just, October. Penchant arrived in America in October of 2005. No one, including Princess Mu, whose yoga room Penchant crashed in to, knows the exact date of Penchant's arrival.

Penchant expects his friends to implement similar birthday policy. Yesterday he gave Koach Krafty (August 31 birthday) his birthday list. Select items: a new cape with the phrase "Eat it Down"; bubbles for his bath; and a Snuggie blanket .
