This is a little out of the ordinary, but I felt the community needed to send some love Joel’s way, as he is, you know, The Shepherd of all the LAMBs. Unfortunately, Googling “shepherd” tends to result in only pictures of Jesus, and while Joel’s our own Swedish messiah, I decided on a picture of a German Shepherd with a birthday hat for the header picture.

So here’s a quick mention to Mr. Joel Burman, who’s been working hard (and hardly working) on making the LAMB the greatest place on the internet. His dedication is never doubted and with the new site and all the sexy changes, he deserves not only our thanks but a lovely little celebration for his birthday. I won’ t say how old he is (he’s 34) but we all wish you a terrific birthday, Joel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEL!
