"For what it’s worth, I don’t like Bitch Lab, I don’t read her, I don’t think she’s very bright, and I think the main thing she piggybacked on recently was a comment thread to a post she didn’t author. Nice appropriation, that. ... Don’t like Bitch Lab? Join the club, and don’t read her. Read the women she rips off instead. They’re better." - Ilyka Damen

Happy Birthday!! :P
Happy birthday! Happy blogiversary! What an exciting day!
I don’t remember how I first found your blog (it was definitely during one of those insomniac nights of clicking links here and there) but I sure am glad I did. :)
happy day to you!
PS…i got your emails, and as soon as i’m not miserably behind on work, i’ll write you back.
*Smooches* *Hugs*
Happy birthday! Happy Blogiversery!
Here’s to another year of righteous ass-kicking!
rock on, you inspiring, challenging, mind-expanding blogger you!
Happy Blogibirthdaversary!
Let’s see if image linking works…if so, you’ll spy (below) an earlier example of this sort of cross anniversayasticness.
What this? Resistance.
Very well, let’s try a different method.
Happy Birthday! Happy Blogivers-thing!
I’m glad you came through that awful time.
Happy Bloggy aniversay birfday!
You say it’s your birthday!
And your blogiversary too, yeah!
You say it’s your birthday - we’re gonna have a good time!
I’m glad it’s your birthday!
Happy birthday Bitch Lab!
Happy Birthday to You! And thanks be for your blog. Not long ago, around the time of the bj wars, I was an adrift female, lost and alone, wondering if feminists hadn’t completely lost their mother-effing minds on the topic of sex when your blog provided safe refuge from the storm. So I’m glad you were born on this day, I’m guessing, what, 22, 23 years ago today? ; )
In a word: thank you.
No, thank you. There really is something beautiful about what you do. Happy birthday, & may you have many, many more. XXX
And thank you, whoever it was, who taught me how to italicize.
The same day as Alexander the Great, Upton Sinclair, Jelly Roll Morton, Joyce Brothers, and Gunnar Nelson. Awesome.
Happy, happy. On everything.
If you were here in MI we’d sing you the polish version of Happy Birthday. consider yourself spared!
Your blog has restored my faith in a progressive left that is smart, sexy with a great sense of humor.
All best,
Jay
Uhuru!
Celebrate the day God made you BL!
Bee elle yo! I hope you enjoyed your day. Be well and thank you.
Hello there Ms. Lab. :D Thanks for your well wishes at my blog. Things are stable and decent…I was just letting off some steam. Its good to hear from you regardless of what circumstances. :)
Regarding *this* blog post, it may be a little clueless of me, but “I put this blog online on my birthday” confused me. Did you mean the blog post was put online on your birthday, or the whole blog itself? You’re welcome to physically beat me for not understanding right away. :)
Also, about the (crummy) liberal conclusion that all TV watchers are brain-dead: you’re right, its a bunch of hooey. People don’t always turn their critical thinking off and believe all the media they run into. Ideology plays more of a role, perhaps. Some of us watch Lawrence Welk because its campy, not because we single it out for clean and cheerful entertainment. :)
Happy Blogiversary!!!
Happy birthday !
Hmmm….me and Thagmano??? Yeah, right. heheh
Anyways, a very, very happy birthday and bloggerversary to ‘ya, Miz B….and may both you and the blog survive many more.
:-)
Anthony
Happy blogsibirthiversaryday!
Thanks for the good wishes everyone and kind words everyone. I did not do anything exciting except stay away from the computer most of the night. :)
Sorry I’m late to the party, but happy belated b-day and congratulations for making it through one year of blogging!
Travis –
*g* you remind me that one of the funniest and most unanticipated consequences of calling this blog Bitch | Lab was the realization that men, especially, had a really hard time calling me ‘Bitch.’ heh.
Anyway, glad you stopped by. I installed the blog on my birthday last year, though we’d all completely forgotten it actually was my birthday! No money, busier’n'hell, and totally preoccupied with one nasty fellah.
I had no idea there were Lawrence Welk re-runs. I’m so relieved. How can I see such a thing? On that channel that plays all the retro teevee shows?
Happy Birthday, Dear Bitch l Lab!
Happy Birthday to you!
Glad you stuck around, BL. Many happy returns and stay off that arm.
congratulations :)
Well then all sorts of happy birthdays to you!
You’ve really only been doing this since September of 2005? You’re such a pro, I assumed you’d been at it for years.
But as long as you continue at it for years, we’ll all be the better for it.
Congrats on still kicking ass every week! You’re still the only blog I keep as a one-click at the top of my browser.
Tons of love.
Happy birthday+anniversary and thanks for ruling out the suicide option!!! =8-O
Quick note: Your links to me point to my WordPress blog, but I have since moved my blog to its own domain (http://platosbeard.org/).
I just realized that your post is dated september 20! (don’t know why it showed up this late in my reader). Very belated wishes then, I guess.
