Today, I give you these words of wisdom, which I will be sure to follow to the letter for the next 365 days:
“Forty?! Balls!!!” – Author unknown.
And yes, as you can see, I started out with both custom bling, and classic threads. The hair, teeth, and posture came later, along with… my pants.
And for a while, things kind of went downhill from there, as evidenced by the picture below. (And no, I had no idea that Heff copied me until years later.)

Find the hidden objects:
- Bottle of Yop (1 point)
- Ralph Macchio hair (5 points)
- Sunset fade Cokin lens (3 points)
- Cokin polarizer lens (5 points)
- Glass of wine (2 points)
- Chocolate cake (2 points)
- Yellow candle (2 points)
- Dweeb (10 points)
Have a great Monday, everyone. π

Happy birthday, young feller!
I never thought I would actually look forward to being called that. Thanks, buddy. π
40 is so much better than 39. Take no shit from anyone, know what you want, and it’s like another blank canvas.
Cheers, mate!
I was already like that. π
Maybe now my kids will listen to me and “respect their elders?”
Cheers, man.
I’ve never even heard of Yop… Happy Birthday!
Liquid yogurt from Yoplait. I used to live on that stuff.

I’m going to make the 40’s look badass. π
Thanks, kristi. π
It’s just the second anniversary of your 20th birthday. No problem. Enjoy your day and eat a lot of cake.
BTW, Ralph Macchio still has that bad hair, at least you got smart and changed yours. π
Thanks, Renee.
Yes, I did change my hair. Wax on… wax off.
Cheers,
π
Feliz cumpleaΓ±os. Happy birthday! Joyeux Anniversaire! We are all glad that the great looks, better hair came accompanied with pants. Not sure how it would have gone all those years in the military with out them! Awesome pics!
Gracias!
Yes, pants help with that whole social acceptability thing. π
40 rocks. Honest. Not that I would know (um, yeah I would, a lot).
Have a great day Olivier! LOVE the baby pic.
The plan is to make most other 40 something dudes hate me a little bit. π
Cheers.
Mon bΓ©bΓ©!!!…
Et oui! π
Happy birthday Olivier! As someone who’s been over 40 for a while, I can say they are the best years. Enjoy them, as I am sure they will disappear as quickly as our 30s did. π
Love the baby bling!
LMAO…dude this is awesome…so glad you shared this….what a dork π
I love the big Yop and the empty glass of wine.
Bon anniversaire and cheers !

Patrice
PS: I’m still “studying” SM ROI. Great stuff !
Someone must say it: Those are the largest birthday-cake candles ever seen. Ever. Happy 40th. It goes uphill from here. Really.
Happy birthday, Olivier, albeit a bit late. Hope it was stellar!
