Call me a spoilsport, but I don't think you should bring up 34. The joke won't last more than a week or so (forget it being memorable enough to live on a wiki), and probably doesn't mean anything to people who don't live in Seattle/don't read Slog. The IGBP is a nation-wide, if not world-wide, phenomenon. Your age has nothing to do with it. Keep it classy and funny, as the Webbys want. For that reason, I like @1.
Enough with the joke about being 34, Dan. 99% of those attending or reading about the Webby awards are not going to get it. Do you want your age to be the focus when you can only get your point across with 5 words? That's why I vote for "First, you have to live." I can hear the standing O now.
But honestly, I agree that the fact that you're 34 doesn't need to be in there. Just think--in about twenty years, it might not even be true anymore! Focus on timeless truths if you want to give an unforgettable speech.
So my real vote is #8's "First, you have to live." It's brilliant.
Getting better still, at 34.
Better date still ain't 34. (Perhaps this is cheating.)
Remember to love all, regardless.
Better. Wait. How many candles?
Score one and 14 improvements.
is Danny really such a clueless douche that he wants to work the 34 thing in to the acceptance?
if so we dare not point out what a total lack of class asswipe stunt it would be, we have to play along....
or is Danny kidding? we would assume so were it a mature adult but this is Danny so we can't be sure....
so Slog, someone put up a poll and let's find out if Slog:
a- Thinks Danny is an immature Asswipe who means it
b- is a self-centered asswipe who just can't get over how fucking hysterical his '34' gag was.
IGB is all about encouraging little homos not to off themselves but to grow up to realize their full homo potential,
so
"Don't Cheat the AIDS Virus" should just hit the spot...
b) it's a mystery why the Webby fools didn't name Terry as well.
So say, "I'm property of Terry Miller."
Ooh, good call gus: how about "34-year-old property of Terry Miller"?
"It gets worse - just kidding!"
I realize that phrase happens to be five words, but it's not my speech suggestion; just an observation.
Second place: @33
Third place: @3
@8 - I'm reading along, they're cute, they're funny, but then, "first, you have to live." That's striking and touching.
Don't vote Republican, Mmmm k?
i think you've achieved cultural iconicity or whatever it is!
But I also vote for @2 and @49's: "It really does get better".
(I also really like #3 and #8.)
Terry, you make it better.
ENDA would make it better.
DOMA doesn't make it better.
"Helped our first gay president"
"Maybe saved your kid's life"
"Maybe helped Santorum's first born"
Better than Santorum on doorknobs. (unclassy version)

So my real vote is #8's "First, you have to live." It's brilliant.
"First, you must stay alive"
It's that or #3... or possibly #5.
Better date still ain't 34. (Perhaps this is cheating.)
Remember to love all, regardless.

's all I've got.
Maybe
It BETTER get better.
a real dilema for the slog.

1. First, you have to live. (3)
2. Now, can I marry Terry? (48)
Although I gotta give a shout-out to 26 for "It Gets Bigger. Oops, Better!"
