Fargo, ND – Big day today at the FM Observer.  Long-time staff writer Hugh Janus turns 89 years old today!  This is such a monumental achievement for Hugh Janus that that we went all-out for his birthday.

To start it off, the entire staff was required to drive to work at walking speed.  Office attire consisted of wearing mandatory nipple-high pants and not showering for a week.  The break room was filled with different hard candy.  All butterscotch flavored.  Our TV had The Little House on The Prairie playing on repeat.  To top it off we had 10 mandatory bathroom breaks and “back to the oldies” playing 24/7.

Overall it was a wonderful day.  Hugh Janus ended up falling asleep in the bathroom until 3pm but it was still fun.  Please send your birthday wishes to Hugh Janus!
