…there is a party celebrating a half century (not out), at Samizdata HQ tonight.
The company was delightful…
…the booze plentiful…
…the gifts were exceedingly creative

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Lovely ladies, a full bar and some intelligent conversation- sounds like heaven.
I’m insanely jealous.
Me, too.
So who’s been in the closet for fifth years? 😉
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that….)
Happy birthday, Hippo! K and I are hitting the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills tonight – there will definitely be a toast to you (and a cigar smoked by him in your honor).
When I first saw that hippo, I thought you folks had done something unspeakable to a live cat….
A half century? But you don’t look a day over 49! :-B
J/K Happy birthday.
I thought the hippo with the bottle of bourbon in its mouth was pure class! Very nice evening.
Happy birthday mate.
Happy Birthday! Fifty is a good age, people keep telling me…
Still laughing at the totally non-PC knife rack.
Tsk Tsk
What these youngsters will get up to.
Wimps the lot of them!
Happy birthday Perry.
Now we know his nickname folks!
Now we know his age…Gemini are known for their baby faces, and this one is no different:-)
50?
Ah, remember it well.
Welcome to the club.
Happy Birthday, Perry!
Happy Birthday, Perry
I’ve been reading your blog regularly – doesn’t seem that long ago that we were fagging in Leamington House.
Best wishes,
Patrick (Paddy)
Note to American readers, that doesn’t mean what you think it does 😀
50. An excellent vintage. I can enjoy it for a little longer and then I will have to begin admitting to being ‘in my fifth decade’. See, if you want to ‘delay’ a year, then use the ordinal rather than the cardinal ranges. That way, you can still say you are in your forth decade.
Of course, doing that is nothing more than a chronological comb-over and is about as easy to recognize. I guess just enjoy the round number. It is easy to remember when people ask. And around this age that begins to matter. After all, losing your memory is the second sign of old age. At the moment, I have forgotten the first sign. 🙂
Also, celebrating birthdays is like voting in Chicago elections. Party early and party often. But it looks like you’ve got that part well under way.
Happy Birthday! I noticed the women in the forefront of the first picture has a fork and knife… but…. I don’t see anything on her plate. What is she cutting exactly? haha.
All the best!
Haha, same…
All the best, Perry!
