For those of you who have no idea what the fuck I am talking about, I will explain. The eminently funny Deborah van Dam - who also happens to be so beautiful that sometimes you wonder whether she’s even from this planet - is 22 today.

Back in the day, when we were in college, Deb, Jules and I were curled up on my bed with Dan Rosenholtz watching Sex and the City. The episode was called Catch-38. It’s the one where Carrie finds out that the Russian guy she’s been dating, Alexandr Petrovsky, has a grown daughter. He is telling Carrie about his daughter’s 7th birthday party, which was, “peurple. Everysink vas peurple. Ze cake vas peurple, ze shoes vere peurple, ze dress vas peuprle.”

Deborah, as though inspired, looked around at us and said, “I vant a peurple beurzday!”

It was just so funny at the time that we had to back up the DVD because we were laughing so hard we missed what happened next. And from then on, anytime anyone had a birthday - it was a “peurple beurzday.”

So Cheppy 22 Ms. van Dam. You will never be old. You’ll just keep getting prettier.
