Carpe Diem. Fish of the day? :)
This should be a national holiday. Why isn't it a national holiday?? Ah well, I guess there's time for that when he and Tim are President and VP.
The hero of TV, the man we call...Joss!

May your cake be not made of the same ingredients as your meal, may you not smash your toes with a hammer or get a severed blue limb in a box, and may you have many happy returns. (You did keep the receipt, right?)

More importantly, it means you're entitled to a free magnum of champagne at every den of imbiblitude you enter. I think it's in the Magna Carta, right after Llama grazing rights.
Happy birthday Mr Joss Whedon Esq. have a fantastic day and if you have to spend it smithing words then give yourself a break, keep 'em below 3 syllables ;).

Happy B-Day, Joss!!! I sincerely hope that your birthday and the coming year brings you at least a fraction of all the joy, surprises and warmth that you've brought to so many of us with your creations.
. . . or, failing that, a really freakin' awesome cake (you know - maybe even an ice cream cake! 'Cause those totally rule).
PS. My birthday present to you was rockin' out at Equality Now's Serenity Screening this Weekend. :)

Here's mine:
A story creator named Joss
Had a fandom that called him their Boss.
He'd cause mayhem most gory
with the meat of his story
and the funny was added as sauce.
(Ha, b!X - and now that I think of it, I should've just Rickrolled all y'all.)
QuoterGal | June 24, 00:00 CET
Damn straight. And thank God for that. Happy birthday, Joss. Here's to many, many more!

Then watch Serenity.
What color do you think the socks are?
Happy Birthday, Mr. Whedon.

Happy Birthday to all those others whose birthdays are June 23rd, especially to Joshua who is probably being welcomed joyfully into the world right about now.

Attend the tale of Joss Whedon
His skin was pale, his brain was breedin’
The faces of The Gentlemen
In your nightmares you’ll see them again
It’s ain’t what you want, it’s what you’re needin’
With Joss Whedon
The Demon Writer of TV
He kept a shop in Hollywood
His shows sound stupid, but they’re really good
So what if “the soul” he wouldn’t explain
As long as its absence kept Buffy in pain
With Whedon
With Joss Whedon
The Demon Writer of TV
Swing your stake wide, Whedon!
Hold it to the skies
Freely flows the blood of those
Who traumatize!
*Sung to the tune of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" by Stephen Sondheim.
ETA: Welcome to Joshua, the Harmalicious sequel!

Niiiiiice, Pointy and b!X - mybutthe Gonersarianizites do get creative.

QuoterGal | June 24, 05:21 CET
Who thought that her job was a bummer.
She blamed it on Joss,
Her purpley boss,
Who threatened to make her a plumber!
ETA: another...
A ship did our Jossir create,
Its sequel do we long await.
But we'll throw him a bash
And earn lots of cash,
At least 'til he's seventy-eight.

Thank you so much for giving us characters like Cordelia Chase.
Sure you gave us Buffy, Angel, and Mal; but it takes a genius to create a Cordelia or a Jayne.
Also, thank you for showing me that no matter how bad my day has been it could always be worse. =P
Best wishes and lotsa continued success.

What does Joss do on his birthday? (possible scenario):
Wakes up.
Dazedly staggers into kitchen. There's a note waiting.
Joss, go buy non-fat moo juice (Yes, I read that somewhere).
Joss drives to store. Gets the moo juice and a toenail clipper 'cause the other one broke, and um, Pepsi, and ice cream dammit, it's my birthday.
Drives home.
Walks in the door. Surprise party. Because Kai is devious that way. (Hey, I'm guessing!) Many friends waiting. Plus balloons. And presents.
Whee! Hope it went something like that. :>) Loves the Joss.
