Papyrus Biker Jacket Birthday Card

Birthdays. Not exactly the most Metal thing to celebrate. In recent years, birthdays have started to become more "Metalized", as in house parties where Cannibal Corpse/Keator/Primal Fear/Marduk/etc. are blaring through the mega-sized living room speakers instead of the usual rap music/house/reggaeton/pop music/insert name of crappy genre of music here/etc. of a bratty tweenster. As with the appropriate choice of music, Dethklok some years ago released a song called "Birthday Dethday" which gave Metalheads of the world a birthday song worthy of our sonic lungs to scream in celebration of a friend/family member/pet/random person/etc. achieving their closer moment to death. Talk about looking at a birthday morbidly.

Aside the usual fare of birthday activities, atmosphere, music, food, and so forth, there is one item that puts the exclamation point in any birthday. The birthday card. While it's one thing to say "happy birthday" verbally, it's a whole different animal when you show in physical form the saying "happy birthday". There are many birthday cards out there, but there is only one that can give the Metalhead a true way of delivering the message. Introducing Papyrus Biker Jacket Birthday Card.



As you can see, the details in this card really give it the extra nudge for making it a very Metal birthday card.


The envelope that came with the card was not spared the Metal treatment as it basks in gray glory.




The inside color of the envelope comes in the color of the standard issue uniform of the Metal Military...Black.


The card has multiple pages in case you want to do the following:

A) Write a bunch of band logos like you did in Middle/High School.
B) Write the Saga of the Icelanders.
C) Have a bunch of people sign it like it was a school yearbook from your early days as a Metal Legion (that is, if you had any friends to begin with, as "Troo" and "Kvlt" Metal fans do not have any).


The obligatory card company's generic imprinted message for those who don't have a thing to say. Papyrus was really going for the anti-social audience with this card. Maybe they have a very good understanding of their customers.


We now get to the meat and potatoes of this cards appeal to those who wear the "Denim and Leather". The front of the card is a real eye catcher, as it captures the details of what is an obligatory piece of armor Metalheads need to have. From the faux-pas leather, to the zippers (they actually go up and down). As for what's inside the jacket, just dry glue.


Overall, a great item for Metalheads to give to fellow allies on the day we were brought into this evil world that needs to be conquered by the Dark-Clad Knights of Steel.
