From the good folks who tipped me off to
Shaq's Twitter feed comes the latest in sports-new-media-madness: a
virtual 82nd birthday party for JoePa!

I'm not sure exactly how it's going to work... (virtual cake?)... and the blog mentions that the party is a surprise (no such thing on the internet!). But there is a cool post called
Top 82 Reasons We Love JoePa which is continuously being updated with new submissions from fans. Right now it's filled with sincere messages. But I know the blogosphere has its own reasons for loving JoePa!

Somebody please submit something and see if they'll have a sense of humor about it -- if they're letting Shaq loose on Twitter, you have to think they will.
Well, with the level of JoePa's internetfamy* this thing might just catch on. See, even
Black Heart Gold Pants added the JoePa Birthday badge to their sidebar. It's right across from where they're selling their
Paterno Chronicles T-shirts...
*Yes, I just coined that word.
