Woohoo! That is awesome. Congratulations.

Staplegate. *snicker*

You know what you could do to celebrate? You could karaoke classic country music songs for Scout. If you need suggestions, just let me know. I hear she’s a fan of repetitive lyrics.

Eh, enough of that. It’s YOUR night. Congrats, and enjoy. I hope it’s all you anticipated and more.

I already said it once, but this time in black and white (and multicultural): Congratulations!!!

Dinner and ice cream on us upon our return from the place to which Dr. Sporks owes her Ph.D.: Vegas, baby, Vegas (now known as the Dr. Sporks, Director of Random Program commemorative trip).

Just to be clear, I didn’t BUY my PhD in Las Vegas. I did some research there.

Hmmm… hadn’t thought about the implications of my comment. Here are some other possibilities:

* You paid your tuition by being a professional gambler
* Showgirl with a heart of gold introduced you to your dissertation advisor
* Won it at Circus Circus in the squirt gun game

Is the copyediting job at Sporks News open? I hadn’t seen an announcement. How much does it pay?

Actually, I don’t even need a job since you’ll surely now support me in the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed. Woo-hoo!

I am irrationally pleased for you. Irrational only because it’s odd to feel such joy for a virtual stranger. Then again, maybe it’s not odd at all.

Either way. Congrats.
I shall pop a beer in your honor!

That’s funny Suzanne. Scout and I were talking about how funny you and Wendy were last night and how odd it was to talk about people we didn’t “know” but like a lot. Anyway, thanks.

We’ve had similar discussions of late. I was contemplating sharing such thoughts, but would have preferred to do so via *ahem* email, oh nameless one. ;p

I assume you will be avidly watching that bicycling marathon thingy in that European country with your honey. Ya’ll enjoy.

My heartiest and most deepfelt congrats! Perhaps TBO and I should share our anniversary bubbly with you? (I suppose I should ask her first. Oops.)
