Happy 50th Birthday Mike Myers

"Exsqueeze me, baking powder?" Mike Myer's is turning 50, really? Sorry Mike, but I was convinced you were a touch older. To set things right between us, here is a tribute to you, from me. In his half-century on Earth, Mike, or Mister Mike Myers Sir (to us little guys), has been enormously successful in his many comedy roles.

Phil, Stu, Doug and Alan will return to the big screen in a few days! This time there is no wedding so nothing could really go wrong. Or could it?
