Since I got this wrong the first time it was posted, back on MARCH 2ND (all loud and wrong, thanks to lying-ass MySpace sending me a note that it was Lance’s birthday), I figured I’d just repost it, complete with all the comments of love everyone had for him that day. It all still holds true…the passage of two months’ time has only made the love deeper. So, herewith…Lance’s original birthday post…
I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to wish one of our most faithful Lo Zoner’s…
…A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Lance, here’s hoping today is a fun, exciting, special, and blessed day.
Good luck on winning the Lottery this weekend (I know you have your tickets).
The Lanceman always tells it like it is, but that’s what we love about him.
Happy Birthday, Bruh!

>FYI, that's his daughter on the pic with him, so no funny business.
