Just because... you worked so hard.

Just because... you saved those two kids in the canoe that one time.

Just because... we copy you. A lot ("").

Just because... you're the coolest dude around.

Just because... you live your life at about an 8...

...when the world lives theirs at about a 4.

Just because... you prove that age is nothing but a number.

Just because... you make us feel like we're just like you.

Just because... you're dead sexy!

Just because... you enjoy a good game of Stinky Winks.

Just because... sometimes, you don't match.  And that's totally okay with you.

Just because... you rocked the 'hawk.

Just because... you're a great big brother.

Just because... you unstuff the stuffy events.

Just because... you should always wear glasses.

Just because... you're wise beyond your years.

Just because... you just want to make us laugh.

Just because... innocent mistakes can never escape your wrath.

Just because... you are the proud owner of the FKA.

Just because... you love and appreciate your fans like no other.

Just because... you actually do act your age sometimes.

Just because... you only wore this hat once.

Just because... who couldn't love this face?

Just because... you may have been born 75 years too late.

Just because... you make us want to fix you.

Just because... you're as sick of band history as we are.

Just because... you're a goofball!

Just because... you made it happen.

And you changed our lives.

Just because... you'll always be our big daddy rockstar.

Just because... you love them as much as we do. 

Okay, probably more.

Just because... you knew all the words.

Just because... you make every interview fun.

Just because... you really do love your job.

Just because... only you can get away with some things.

Just because... you kick off the best remix.

Just because... your desire to give back knows no bounds.

Just because... you're really evil.

But this picture always cheers me up.

Just because... you give your time and effort to things greater than yourself.

Just because... we secretly hope you never really grow up.

Just because... we'll always remember the strip tease.  Even if the DVD doesn't.

Just because... you always keep us guessing.

Just because... you loved Busta so much.

Just because... you have the voice of an angel.

Just because... you may be the oldest, and you may be the wisest...

...but you'll always be young at heart.

Just because... of your shiny teeth!

Just because... we really kinda love the belly.

Just because... we miss you, yo!

Just because you've been a constant source of laughter and inspiration for us
over the years, we wish you the best as you continue in your endeavors.

Happy birthday, Chris!

 Just because... you came from so little and have achieved so much.
