Happy Birthday Liz!

“Not a diamond for your finger, or flowers for your nose
I wanted to get you something, but I couldn`t afford those
the truth is, I didn`t get you anything, but I didn`t forget
here`s wishing you a Special Birthday, I hope it`s your best yet”

“Happy birthday, mi amiga.”

“Happiest of all birthdays to you Lizs, may this one be the first of many more great ones to come.

Happy birthday m'lady.

“'Scribe' -- short for 'scribler'?



dash-thirty? Did you start out working with telegraph?

<VBG>”

“Happy Birthday!”

“Geobeet, you'd make a great correspondent. YOU'RE HIRED!!

I really enjoyed one of our correspondents who wrote about a county commissioner -- my age (umm, 32, oh yeah, how could I forget!! lol) -- who had just built a new house. She wrote something like:

Almost everyone in the county must have been invited to Commissioner George Slick's housewarming party. The house is small, which is perfect for his bachelor pad. However, it would be very suitable for the future Mrs. Slick.

LOL!!! TRUE STORY!!

“Happy Birthday Lizs, hope you have many more.”

“When I started out Tilt, we chiseled the news on stone tablets. That was how the expression "making the chips fly" really started. Woodchoppers would have you believe it was them, but it was out compositors.

When I worked in the intell business, they claimed to be the world's second oldest profession. When I became a journalist, they claimed to be the world's second oldest profession. Either way I am covered.

Only the technology has changed. Several 19th Century writers, Mark Twain, George Bagby, and Artemus Ward, wrote about editors. The attributes are substantially the same - unchanged since those days of stone tablets.

You also need to understand that editors are the dumbest people on the face of the earth. Everybody is smarter than an editor: the publisher, the ad department, the reporters, the production manager, the advertisers, the sources, the readers, and even the carriers. They can all do our jobs better than we can. I truly believe that is true, but they are not dumb enough to take the job. Only an editor is that dumb.

And reporters might comfort themselves that they are smarter than editors, but some of them will one day lose a part of their intelligence and become editors despite decades of professing otherwise. It is inevitable that some will just sink to depths of ignorance to reach the requisite level of dumbness.

Can you feel it starting Lizs? You still have time to start a career in marketing or retail management.”

“:)”

“Happy Birthday Lizs! Get out and celebrate!”

“Lizzy Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks
And when she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one!

Happy birthday, darlin'! (make sure stikmon takes his meds...)”

“Happy Birthday !!!

dawn”

“what next?”

“Happy Birthday!”

“I had a correspondent who wrote an item about a group of nursing mothers who had a picnic.

She ended the piece with: "Everyone enjoyed the culinary treat."

It didn't run that way, of course.”

“Happy Birthday Lizs!!!!!! Hope it's a great one!

Brent”

“that a good dose of Lizs won't fix...yeah...that's it...I'm suffering a severe case of Lizs withdrawl....oh the PAAAAAAYNE!!!

Happy Birthday, again.”

“Where's the pain, stikky, in yer right hand, lol?”

“Happy B-Day!”

“Hey, Brent, so did you get to Iowa?? hmmmmmmmm??? I'll have to beat up on ya, if so... lol. OR... you'll have to go camping at Yellow River State Forest and then I'll run into you out of the blue, like I do everyone else. LOL!!”

“happy birthday! :-) you're one of those Scorpios? what a bunch of freaks.”

“Hey!”

“moooooaahaahaahaa! 8)”

“Happy Birthday, Lizs, from a recovering journalist and former "dumb editor." Just remember that you can always cut a year or two to make things fit -- it's just editorial judgment.”

“Happy birthday lizs. Too bad we can't all spank you over the internet! i think lyra is a closet scorpio.”

“It takes one to know one, eh wot?”

“now Tilt is British? cool!
