Just because... you accomplish feats that scare us to death.

Just because... they didn't give up on you.

Just because... we know how tedious it can be.

Just because... in the beginning, you were young and unaware.

Just because... after a while, you learned what to expect.

Just because... now, you understand so much more.

Just because... your hangovers amuse us greatly.

Just because... who knew you had it in you?

Just because... this picture kindof killed me.

Just because... heh.  Thanks.

Just because... you were gracious enough to pose for this.

Just because... you're so proud of your jewels.

Just because... your quest for knowledge is inspiring.

And continues to inspire others.

Just because... there doesn't seem to be anything you won't try.

Just because... you're good to your fans.

Just because... you're always there when it counts.

Just because... love doesn't discriminate.

Just because... you always keep your eye on the ball.

Just because... you continue to surprise us.

Just because... it doesn't matter why you did this.

I'm just glad you did it at all.

Just because... you don't do anything half-way.

Just because... you have Hall of Fame bragging rights.

Just because... the frequency with which you appear
on Hollywood Squares is beginning to worry me.

Just because... you can laugh at yourself.

Which just makes it easier for us to laugh at you.

Just because... who's dope?  Who's dope?

You're dope!
 

Just because... you live life to the fullest.

Just because... I'll always know where to find you.

Just because... you embrace the dork within.

Just because... no matter where you go, your compassion and warmth never wavers.

Just because... you're a helluva lot prettier than Joan.

Just because... you're far too sexy for your shirt.

Just because... a cell phone intervention may be in your future.

Just because... yeah.

Just because... you proudly displayed the bobbleheads!

In your house!  Bobbleheads!  In your house!

Just because... this felt wrong. 

And you made it right.

Just because... you give the best. payback. ever.

Just because... you have a genuine quality that's hard to resist.

Just because... they probably can see it from China.

Just because... your inability to stop the gesticulating is slightly endearing.

Just because... your dreams are limitless.

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

Okay, probably more.

Just because... you're pretty much still the same kid.

Just with a bigger smile.

 

Just because... your bad days are seen by an entire audience.

Just because... you may have been the last, but you've never been the least.

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

Happy birthday, Lance!

 Just because... you have so much to be proud of.
