HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mr. MOORCOCK!

[Michael Moorcock]

I think I'm caked out! That cake, as Doc will confirm, is enough to give you diabetes just smelling it. Actually, it's not that heavy on sugar, but it's awful heavy on chocolate. A Christmas pudding is going to seem light in comparison!

[Doc]

After two days, my blood sugar is almost back to normal, but the cake may be sticking around my midsection for a couple of weeks. :D

Happy belated birthday Mike (might as well add Merry Christmas to you and yours) all the best.

[Michael Moorcock]

Almost gone, Doc. Distributed to neighbours and such.
We took more sweets into the wound care clinic today. We told them we wanted them to be as much at diabetic risk as their patients.
Thanks, sphynx!
All best to y'all!

Errmmm ...

Can I be the last to say "Happy Birthday, Mike"?

Sorry, I bin busy!!

And a Happy Glogauermas into the bargain.

[Theocrat]

Opps!!! Happy Birthday (And many more) Mike!


Sorry i missed it.. I've been away.. Pan Tang's busy this time a month.. We are trying to catch a cursed fat magician with a red hat that's been throwing down unwanted parcels down our crooked chimnes. They get stuck there u know..
Our Priests are combing the streets of Hwaamgarl asking who summoned this demon, or who brought him here. He keeps uttering some strange chants as well like "Ho! Ho! Hoooo!". Whatever he is.. He's definetely not wanted here... Maybe he's an associate of Balo.. But the priests of Balo say they have no idea what he is..
But by Chardros! I'll get him in the end..

Oopsie -- missed it! Sorry! I thought about it a week ago, but apparently forgot it.

Anyway, a belated Happy Birthday, Mike, and a Merry Christmas!

And while I have your ear: Thank you for writing Elric of Melnibonأ© and showing me that fantasy doesn't necessarily have to be about elves and dwarves and vertically challenged people with hairy feet. That book led me to Robert E. Howard and Fritz Leiber, and later to Poul Anderson and Roger Zelazny, and Lord Dunsany, and Jack Vance, and Hope Mirrlees, and only Arioch knows where it will all end.

So thanks for everything, Sir Master Chronicler! :)

Hi Mike! I'm extremely happy to hear the book has reached you. There were times when we weren't sure it'll make it. L'Etranger and the others did a most amazing job here, and I felt privileged having the opportunity to take a part in it. I hope you had the most wonderful birthday, and wish you many many more fruitful years.

Hoping to see you in Budapest sometime (the sooner the better) :D

Warmest Regards,

Oren

A belated Happy Birthday, Mike from another member of your legion of admirers!

[Rymdolov]

And a very late Happy Birthday from me as well. Here's a colour version of the picture of my bud's tattoo which was sent with the book (the b/w version looked a bit fake imo, but I couldn't find a colour printer fast enough). Enjoy!

8O ...BURN THE VILE CHAOS WORSHIPER!!!... :lol: ...Sorry, my 'Lawful' side took over for a minute there...

[PsychicWarVeteran]

Blood and... er... skin for Arioch!

[xidrep]

Has he got a metal talon for a right hand or what? Was that Erekose, or one of the other ones? Haven't read 'em all. Oops! :oops:

[PsychicWarVeteran]

Not Erekose, but Corum. Heh. If that's what he's going for, though, someone should tell him to put the metal on the other hand. Wonder if he has the dedication to do the eye, as well? :D

[Michael Moorcock]

Thanks, pards. Could that be the contra-Corum. The one who serves Chaos rather than Law and has the Hand on the opposite arm ?
