Thanks to all of you for my birthday wishes. BTW, it’s also Susan Sunshine’s “half birthday.
As a present to me (and maybe some others), I seem to have missed how to embed a youtube link properly so it shows up. Instead of repeating it, could you just direct me to the date where it was explained? Also the explanation for seeing more than 5 comments.
… you will see that there are 8 likes (I’m guessing you meant likes and not comments).
1) Bring up the list.
2) Right click on the number 8 (you’ll then see the box in the attachment)
3) Move your cursor to any visible portion of the list box (there will always be at least a slice visible) and left click. As long as your cursor remains within the again fully visible list box you’ll be able to scroll up and down at will.
I use specially formulated “cauli-flour”, and add my patented, cake-flavored protein and fiber mix.
Then I use a big XTI-engineered bulb-type cake syringe to take out all the fat, sugar, and calories, making sure to leave all their flavor in the batter.
I promise, you can’t tell the difference in the taste or texture, or anything else, when you eat it….

My Pocket Panther.
We had one of those…
to Arfside ….
…
I think this whole collection is pretty fab!
Happy Birthday, Arfs.
Thanks, P51. May all your takeoffs end with happy landings (well, maybe a bounce or two, but you’ll probably be happiest to walk away from those).
Thanks, StelBel (and Max).
and………happy birthday from Alfalfa…
…
I used to be able to sing that good.
happy b-day, far side!
Hippo birday, eh? A dancing fool!
To ARFSIDE & his twin brother FARSIDE both turning 99!
OMG… I shouldn’t laugh at that…sorry Arfside…But it’s too funny.
I should ask, though…REALLY sorry, Arfside….
I think they were 99 last time I saw them… are you sure they’re not 100?
They stop counting at 99.
It’s an old computer. It didn’t pass the Y2K bug.
Hey, remind me to beat you later. As someone told me, you’re only as old as the sum of the numbers in your age. That makes me 9 years old (not 18).
Wow! You’re only 27??!
But they say that I have bats in my belfry.

Thanks GerardD. I hope that’s not a puppy in that box.
Uh-oh…it identifies as kitten
It’s gonna explode out of that box when it’s opened. I wonder if that’s what made the EWC so evil?
Yes, about the EWC! But Nighthawks might have something to say about that.
What are its pronouns.. or..er.. nouns?
If you ask about my pronoun, it’s “Grand Exalted Imperial Poobah”. Try that a few times and you’ll settle for normal old pronouns right quickly!
Wasn’t something like the Grand High Exalted Poobah part of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta?
It’s a confused male puppy that identifies as a male kitten. Not gender confusion, but species confusion.
Thought so… that’s why I changed it to nouns.
We have to remember to say “Here, kitty. Who’s a good kitten?”
Hope I don’t forget!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARFSIDE!
Wishing you all the best!
I’m going to leave you all with the puzzle solution now….
I know it’s early, so don’t cheat!
The Birthday Fairy is watching cos of Arfside’s birthday, and she’ll bring you coal next time for yours, if you cheat.
…
…
I’ll be back in a bit with the cake…. And more!
Bedtime for me. I guess i get cake for breakfast. 🙂
“Mmmmm … … … … breakfast cake!”
Hmmm, I could only get 8.
That’s all I got.
Same here…😢
Sorry… I was a having a little website trouble…
But I’m here….
Hope everybody’s been having a bite to eat…
\
No wonder your website was having trouble — it shorted out from drooling over all that good food.
So THOSE are the three I missed.
Only seven. I’m getting worse.
Hoppy happy!
Thanks to the cubed rabbit. 🙂

Happy Birthday Arfside! I thought you might like this:
You betcha! Now I have to come up with a sound for a cake hitting somebody in the face (the best way to enjoy it – food fight!).
Sorry.. but what Don Martin is this?
Maybe I should know…
but the only one I can think of is the Mad/Cracked cartoonist, and I’m pretty sure he never made 70.
I don’t know that there IS a secret to it…
They’re just the copied and pasted regular URL from YouTube.
First, mine rarely look embedded till I refresh the page… before that, they’re links… but maybe only to me.
If that doesn’t work, you can try a different browser…
I know Stel discovered that one worked and another didn’t… but I can’t remember which.
I always use Firefox… usually they embed but occasionally not.
Some people have theories about putting other text before or after the URLs,,, but you see videos here with text in every position.
…..
Honestly… I think WordPress has poltergeists.
The only secret I know is to give them little Godiva dark chocolate ganache-filled hearts… they’re pretty reasonable at Costco.
Just send them to me and I’ll make sure that they… uh… yeah… that they get where they….. um… belong.
Just copy the URL not from the overview but from the page where you get clicking on it.
That results in an URL containing “youtu.be”.
Right… I always open the video and copy the address bar after making sure it plays.
The poltergeist still makes sure some don’t embed.
I don’t get it… the same URL might embed correctly on another day.
Oh… if by “the overview” you mean a search results page…
I agree… never copy and post any URL from a search results page, or any other page that contains links.
Use that link to actually open the image, article, or video, on its own page…
Then copy and post the direct URL.
This method was not discovered by me, but unfortunately when I went looking, I couldn’t find whom to credit.
When you open this…
.LINK (in a new window…and shift the bottom of the comment up-page a bit…)
… you will see that there are 8 likes (I’m guessing you meant likes and not comments).
1) Bring up the list.
2) Right click on the number 8 (you’ll then see the box in the attachment)
3) Move your cursor to any visible portion of the list box (there will always be at least a slice visible) and left click. As long as your cursor remains within the again fully visible list box you’ll be able to scroll up and down at will.
Thanks Alexikakos. I’ll use it.
Doesn’t work here (Firefox, Ubuntu). But thank you.
WOW! It’s Arfsides’ Birthday! Congratulations, my Friend. And many more to come….
Enjoy that wonderful family of yours!
Great one! First cake that had its candles put out with a shovel-full of dirt!
Ain’t that the truth! Like my mom used to say:
I wish I was born rich instead of so darned good-looking…
And it’s hell to be cheated out of both!
Oh no! Dean got through my Howl filter again! Now I will be howling all night.
And now, for cake!
Make a wish, Arfside….
I’m workin’ on it, I’m workin’ on it. Don’t let those candles go out too soon. I want this wish to be juuuuust right.
…and here’s the cake…
Right… that one…
Funny toons, but AFAIK, some other Don Martin’s birthday, above.
I was going by his avatar.
Great ones! As you can see, I’ve always been a fan of Don Martin, as well as Gary Larson, Gahan Wilson, and so many others.
Just a great job finding so many terrific Don Martin cartoons to post here. He was a singular artist.
Just a humble, unadorned wish for a very happy birthday, Arfside! Many happy returns of the day, too.
not one little adorn?
Dorn it! Thanks Dorothea!
Thanks Mary! I can hear them meowing from here!
Cleo’s line made me laugh out loud. Much as I enjoy the puzzle, I love a funny comic even more. Today’s is a bonus!
love those LOLs—thanks for sharing
HAPS BIRFDAY FROM ME AND TURD!
Because bacon.…
Have a great day! (((((HuGz!)))))
I’ll bet Turd doesn’t really want to share with either of us.
He’s a very polite doggo.
There can be only one! (Don Martin, that is.)
And that’s why I always say “May all your good wishes come true”…
It worked! It really worked! My wife always has wanted us to go together, maybe she will want to try this. 🙂
Wow! I love party days! One day when I don’t feel guilty having a slice of one of Susan’s cakes…………..
But you’re supposed to feel guilty! Cake is one of life’s guilty pleasures!
That too.
I use specially formulated “cauli-flour”, and add my patented, cake-flavored protein and fiber mix.
Then I use a big XTI-engineered bulb-type cake syringe to take out all the fat, sugar, and calories, making sure to leave all their flavor in the batter.
I promise, you can’t tell the difference in the taste or texture, or anything else, when you eat it….
But it’s health food!
