Happy Birthday Bertone. I really appreciate everything you do for the site. I hope you had a great day.
lol Dude you have the same birthday as my sister! In my haste to make my comment I forgot to add that.
@Bertone–You’re welcome. Although I’d say JR’s technically the Green Goblin historian, but hey, nothing says we can’t have more than one Spidey historian, right?
Happy Birthday Josh!
And thanks for all the great stuff you put on the front page here!
Thanks Stillanerd but I think JR is still our resident historian.
Whoa! So our resident Spider-Man historian and co-host of the Clone Saga podcast also had a B-day, too? Well, then Happy Birthday!
What, again? Fine. Happy Birthday, man…
That’s $10, Brad!
Have a great birthday and hope for you to gain many more happiness in the future.
Happy Birthday, Joshua! Thanks for all the great work and for being a good friend. 🙂
Happy Bday!!! (sheesh, i’m surrounded by youngsters… looks out window… checks lawn) heh
