We touched on birthdays briefly with Prateek's celebration last month. Having a large group means you get the opportunity to celebrate several birthdays. While the kicking tradition was covered, there was something missing from that occasion that has since also become a tradition.
Caking
My flatmate turned 11 a few weeks ago, or so he claims. He was the first person I've seen caked, and the first at TWU XVIII.
Next it was Yang Kai's turn. The caking was restricted this time, but he made a special request.
Kaushik is legendary for his Control+S motioning in Dumb Charades. When he turned 21 last week, he was quite possibly caked more than anyone.
With at least a few more celebrations to go, I've never enjoyed having an April birthday more.
I'm going to warn you in advance that Richard's birthday is next week, on the 24th. As his close TWU friend in India, I do hope you'll take care of him after those 22 kicks :D. I'm expecting all of you back in Chicago the next day, safe and sound.
