The Walt Disney Company gives Mickey's exact birth date as 18 November 1928. That was the release date of Steamboat Willie... According to legend, Disney planned to name the mouse "Mortimer" until his wife suggested the name of Mickey... (source: www.infoplease.com)

So - Happy 82nd Birthday, Mickey! I wish I could be in Florida or SoCal to celebrate it with you, but that's not an option. So I'll open up Thursdays instead.

I'm making myself one of these ... would anyone else like one?
Mickey Mouse Cocktail - Serves 1

Highball glass
Straw
Long-handled spoon

Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
cola to fill
whipped cream
cherries

Instructions:
Put ice cream on the bottom of the glass and top up with cola. On the top - whipped cream and two cherries. Your drink will look like a Mickey Mouse!

Happy Birthday, Mickey! I'l have the ice cream, but can I have a root beer float instead?

Happy Bday Mickey!!!

Could I have a hot chocolate please. It's freeeeeezzzzzzzing here!!! Winter showed up on Tuesday and it's still snowing and verrrrrry cold.

Happy Birthday, Mickey! Could I trouble the barkeep for a root beer float, please?

Root beer floats for Karen and Pinot's Mom - done!
Hot chocolate for Queen of Poop - done!

Goodness Mickey, you just don't age do you? Happy Birthday.

I'd love to have a rootbeer float in your honor today as well.

Yes, Yes, Yes, a rootbeer float for me too!!! Sounds extra yummy today for some reason. :love:

I am lost as far as days go..

I was going to start the thread and reference the 405 freeway, but this is much more fun!:D
