let's make bad drawings of mermaids all day

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to MEE-EEEE... happy birthday to me!

I just discovered from @americanbeetles that this is actually a 'hand fish'.

And here is my birthday prezzie to myself! I love it so much. It even has torpedos I can shoot across the room at people.

THANK YOU, YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!
