Bobby's birthday

OK, new thread time... I watched my tape of "Shins of the Father" (4E08) this morning, and I just thought of something that could easily make a KotH FAQ, for whoever wants to set one up.

Cotton took Bobby to the bar on Angie Dickinson's birthday which, according to the World Almanac, is September 30. This was the day after Bobby's birthday party, assuming that the party took place on his birthday. Now, the episode probably took place in 1996, and not 1997, since September 29, 1996, fell on a Sunday and it is very unlikely that a birthday party would take place during the week. Thus, Bobby was born on September 29, 1984.

(Of course, if KotH takes the Simpsons' route and decides not to age the characters, Bobby's going to be 12 for the rest of his life.)

The age question was batted around when the featured NG was alt.entertainment.koth (guess the Riddler people caught on), though I don't think a conclusion was reached. I guess we should wait and see if there's another B-Day soiree' next season. Maybe there's a birdie out there that can ask that question at a staff meeting.

I for one would like to see Bobby's 16th B-day in four years, especially when Hank gets him a ride. Not just any ride mind you, but a '64 Impala, slammed with hydraulics and a stereo so loud that the chicks will flee from Boom's house just to ride with B-Dog.

Good call Jason, just the kind of deep down sniffing we need around here.

It's in the FAQ.
