Video: Happy Birthday Erika

Optional Commentary:I came up with this idea in mid-April and decided "Oh, I have plenty of time to do this", and I didn't do it until yesterday. This is the process for everything I ever do.

This took way longer than I thought it would. I wanted to make the clips flow into complete sentences, but I realized that would be impossible in the time I had left (especially since I refused to stray from my own music collection), so it just ended up being a collage of weirdness. It think it worked better in my head, but I'm happy with the result. I like to think "Happy Birthday Martin Freeman" needs no explanation.

What's that, did someone ask for the list of clips? In order? Absolutely!

And I inexplicably included a clip from King of the Hill where Hank says "Santini" at the end because why the hell not?

Erika laughed so hard at this that she started coughing. A rousing success!
