Happiest of Happy Birthdays to you, Joss.

Tracy | June 23, 15:53 CET

40 huh! Hope i'm still as young at heart when i get there!

Happy birthday Joss, hope you have a really great day.

Disciple of Spike | June 23, 16:35 CET

Hee, happy 40th birthday Joss!

StarFaith | June 23, 17:16 CET

He does seem young for his age, yeah. So it's party-time at Joss' house with free Buffy/Angel goodies and booze right? :)

stiansaint | June 23, 17:22 CET

Happy 40th Birthday Joss! I just celebrated my 40th a week ago too! 40 is young!! I know my kids think it's ancient but it's a great age to be!

Firefly Flanatic | June 23, 18:13 CET

Most men cope with hitting 40 by getting a sports car, Joss goes and does a movie!

zz9 | June 23, 18:31 CET

Wow, I hope I live to be 40! ; )

BTW, not to make every post about JM, but I can't help but remember that Joss is a couple years younger than James Marsters, but certainly doesn't look it. I bet Joss hated James on the set! :)

Rogue Slayer | June 23, 18:43 CET

Happy birthday, Joss! Hope you have another 40 great ones...and that we all get to go along for the ride!

sandyg | June 23, 18:46 CET

Happy Birthday Joss!

My son and I are watching OMWF this morning, now it takes on even more meaning! Many, many more, oh Maestro. *bows*

Willowy | June 23, 19:30 CET

Yes, tis a day to binge on Buffy, Angel and Firefly episodes, as well as rushing out to buy The Astonishing X-Men #2.

Happy Birthday Joss!! If I could even effect 1/1000ths of the lives Joss has by the time I turn 40, I'd feel pretty good about myself.

MindPieces | June 23, 19:35 CET

Amen to that MindPieces...

Willowy | June 23, 19:43 CET

If I could only do a portion of what he's done, affect what he's affected, create pop culture icons by the time I die, much less before 40.....I'd be a happy person!

Rogue Slayer | June 23, 19:47 CET

Mr. Whedon, please (in order of precedence):

1) Live a long time with good health. (None of that "the good die young" crap.)
2) Do things that make you happy as much as you can.
3) After (1) and (2), please create as much stuff that you're happy with as possible. (Yup, that's the selfish request on my part.)

[Every time I read Josephine Tey's books, I could just weep -- I *know* she had dozens of good stories to tell.]

And most importantly: 誕生日おめでとう (Happy Birthday!)

bookrats | June 23, 19:52 CET

Happy, happy birthday! I guess I'll have to honor the day by cancelling everything else and watching all my favorite BtVS/AtS/Firefly eps. Woo hoo!

marmoset | June 23, 19:56 CET

Happy Birthday Joss! I hope you have a great time! All my love, Crystal xxxx

Joss rules! | June 23, 20:23 CET

Birthday happies on your 40th, Joss. I just hit mine this past November, and it's a good place to be. Thank God (or a random confluence of fortuitous factors, whichever) you were born. Without you, entire worlds that have brought joy to so many would have remained unimagined. Please stick around and keep making this world a more fun and thoughtful place to be, okay? :)

Wiseblood | June 23, 21:01 CET

Bookrats: Is the Josephine Tey your are referring to the author of "the Man in the Queue" and "The Daughter of Time"?

redfern | June 23, 21:03 CET

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Christopher | June 23, 21:24 CET

Joss, fight the urge to roll down the hill, Stay 40 forever, Happy Birthday.

400lb_Gorilla | June 23, 21:35 CET

Happy birthday, Joss!

It's my brother's birthday too. We're going to go have all you can eat Sushi and seafood if my father is feeling better.

electricspacegirl | June 23, 21:43 CET

Happy Birthday Joss!! :)

AngelicSlayer | June 23, 22:13 CET

Josephine Tey wrote those books mentioned above as well as a few plays under a psudonym. Daughter of Time is magnificent. I'd like to see JM play the Inspector.
Happy Birthday Joss. Many many many more.

Lioness | June 23, 22:29 CET

Happy birthday!! And who says there are no Angel and Buffy fans over 40!!! Congrats Joss. you're the best!!!

Sevrina | June 23, 22:46 CET

palehorse | June 24, 00:22 CET

Happy Birthday to the Big Guy indeed. May the next decade be even more succesful and fruitful than the last.

Ad yeah, almost depressing how much he's done before his 40th.....sigh....

EdDantes | June 24, 01:07 CET

Happy Birthday, Joss, and many happy returns!

Judy | June 24, 05:07 CET

Happy Birthday, Joss! I can think of no one better to share a birthdate with. :-)

Here's to the next 40! Enjoy them!

dragonfly | June 24, 06:14 CET
