Happy Birthday The Web Squeeze!

Happy Birthday The Web Squeeze!

It’s a DOG GONE MIRACLE!!! The Web Squeeze is having its first birthday! Help us celebrate and you’ll get the present!

By The Web Squeeze on February 13th, 2009 in News | Print This Article

TWS Birthday CakeToday is a special day. It’s not special in the way that Internet Explorer is a “Special” browser, it’s not special because it’s Friday the 13th (although that black cat in the corner sharpening a knife does do special things to ones nerves), in fact, it’s not even the pixelated, animated love hearts images flying through in-boxes for Valentines Day that makes it special. Today is special, spectacular, stupendous because it is The Web Squeeze’s FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Only a Herculean effort of willpower has prevented some excitement induced celebration ideas to be rejected. Some of these include:

  • Blasting MIDI versions of Happy Birthday to your browser with the delightfully underused BGSOUND tag
  • Removing the entire site and replacing it with a flash movie of a dancing strawberry
  • Linda and Karinne squeezing litres and litres of fresh fruit juice and having Jacob deliver a glass to each The Web Squeeze member personally
  • Adding the [ you ] tag to every thread ever created

Now now, don’t let the rejection of these ideas disappoint you as we’ve got a much better idea to celebrate breaking out of our infantile roots. We’ve come up with a competition.

You’re funny and we want attention so go and create a video of you wishing us a happy birthday! You can be standing on your head, you can send video of a claymation potato singing “For The Squeeze Is A Jolly Good Website”, you can even just say happy birthday in your native accent to amuse the lesser traveled members, just make it funny and make us feel special by saying:

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE WEB SQUEEZE!”

It’s simple!  Here’s all you have to do…

  • Make a funny video wishing us a happy birthday!
  • Upload the video to our Vimeo group!
  • Post a link to the video in the comments below!
