Overview
As you would expect, the best way to wish a crazy friend a happy birthday is to do something silly, and if you can do it in public, even better. If you can think of something that is most likely to get them into trouble or embarrass them, that's ideal.
Of course this depends on what they like and don't like; some people love being the centre of attention and others hate it. The best thing to do is think of something that they'll find funny, and that will make them feel special.
I think a good starting point is to consider what sort of thing they do or say that makes them 'crazy'. Is it the way they act or dress? Is it the things they say?
Once you've thought about it, it's usually pretty easy to think of something that they'll appreciate because it'll be something that they'd do themselves for someone else.
What sort of thing should I say?
This depends on whether you want to give them a gift or just say something. If it's just a message then I think the best thing is to say something nice but silly. The usual sort of thing that I like to do is make a reference to their sense of humour, so I'll usually mention something they've done in the passed; maybe an inappropriate joke they've made or a prank they've played on someone.
It's usually pretty easy with people like this because they're so unique. Just think about their weird behaviour and describe it in some way using descriptive words. For example for my friend Rachel I said: "Hey Rachel! Happy birthday! Don't drink too much today!"
Of course I was being sarcastic because she always drinks too much. The fact that she does this regularly makes me laugh but I have no idea why. Most people wouldn't find it funny but for some reason I do!
So yes, that's what I'd suggest - just describe something they usually do using words that refer to how silly or crazy it is. Or maybe just use descriptive words like: "Don't be too weird today!"
