Happy Un-Birthday, Jim Bob!

My sister, niece, and brother-in-law came out for a visit from Florida. We took them to
Corvette's Diner and we saw the staff making a fuss over someone who was
having a birthday. I teased the waiter when he came back to our table, telling
him that "Jim Bob" (real name, just Jim, but I call him Jim Bob) was feeling
a definate lack of attention.

Sure enough, the staff returned shortly to make a Big Deal over Jim Bob, giving
him his own paper hat, a piece of cheese cake with a lit candle stuck into a
straw and then into the cake, and singing some goofy song.

I managed to get this snap and even though Jim Bob's face isn't perfectly
focused, I love the shot, given a shutter speed of 1/20. No cropping, just a teensie bit of post processing.

What fun! I bet Jim Bob loved you for this.
I used to have a group of friends with four Jim's. We had different names for all of them. One was called "Jim-Bob-Way" (pronounced like Zimbabwe).

Regardless of the focus issue, it's a great image, as his expression and reaction says it all! I'm quite sure with this little stunt of yours you made Jim Bob's trip one he'll never forget! :)

Funny capture of Jim Bob being beaned over the head, and with a FSU shirt on, too. Hope the family are fans, too :) Good to see you around again.
