The Best Pirate Birthday Party EVER!!!!

Monday, February 25, 2008

It's a day of celebration here on The Romance Writer's Revenge – we're raising our mugs and dropping streamers from the Crow's Nest in honor of our Captain's Birthday! And this isn't just any birthday, this is her 21st Birthday.

*silence falls over the ship as everyone turns to Boatswain in confusion*

Go with it, girls. She's not taking the age thing well and unless you want her screaming "GET OUT OF MY PERSONAL SPACE" you'll follow my lead. Yes, I've seen her scream this, it's not pretty.

Now, let's get this party started. *cues AC/DC music* No party worth it's Tequila salt would forget the food. All the Captain's favorites are on the menu.

The bar is always open on the top deck but today we've stocked it with plenty to go round. We have the scotch, the beer, and of course plenty of rum.

And we would never have a party without bringing out the Hotties. This one showed up in full black tie but he made the mistake of getting a little too close to the party girl. The poor fellow.


These Hotties are here to handle crowd control. I know a crowd like this would never do anything that would make these boys have to take you below decks for a little talking to.... *eye roll* Just don't hurt them, ok?




And we couldn't possibly have a party for the Captain without Jack. Ah, now here's a man that can shiver me timbers any day!

So gather round the decks, bring your presents, raise a toast and help us celebrate Captain Hellion's 21st Birthday!!!!

Well done Ter!

Tiffany Clare said...

Look at the men lined up for you... hubba hubba... mr. bowtie is real sweet.

Happy Birthday Hellion.

What a milestone on b-days *w* Try not to fall overboard...

Hellion, you're still as fresh as the salt-scented breeze off the bow, a mere baby pirate in the Pirates' Hall of Iniquity. Rum-ba the day away with your crew and your guests. Happy Birthday!

Terri Osburn said...

Uhm...nice rendition of that one, Sin. LOL! Have another drink.

Tiff - Good thing we were able to sneak her into those bars last summer, eh? LOL!

Maggie - She's such a youngster, isn't she? Amazing such a child could rise through the ranks so quickly. Not that she did anything....unethical to get where she is. *g*

Marnee Bailey said...

Happy Birthday Captain! I won't sign as Sin already did such a good job with that. :) *pausing to glance as the Quartermaster hiccups in the corner, clutching her rum bottle possessively*

I did bake a cake. *beaming a la Martha Stewart* Chocolate with cream cheese filling and chocolate whipped topping. YUmmmm....

Terri Osburn said...

Damn, I totally forgot the cake. Thank goodness we have a happy-homemaker pirate on this ship! LOL!

*swipes a good bit of chocolate frosting from the side of the cake*

How the hell did you get it in the shape of a ship like that?!

Marnee Bailey said...

That Wilton cake company has nothing on me, my friend. :)

Look! The cannons really fire!

Hellie Sinclair said...

*LOL* You guys are great! Thank you!!! (And the guy with the bow tie had it coming, that's all I have to say about it.)

I had to prompt Dad about my birthday today.

"Happy Monday!"
"Yes, yes, it's Monday. Do you know what else it is?"
"It's the 26th or 27th, isn't it?"
"No, it's the 25th."
"Oh. Close enough. Well, it's not Valentine's Day." *yawns* "That's the main holiday, right?"
"There's *nothing* else important you can think of?"
*blank look*
"You know. On the 25th of February."
*light dawning on Buddha* "OH! It's your birthday!"
"Nothing gets past you."

But all my friends have remembered! And Terri remembered the Battered Fish as well. (Joey's Seafood had some kickass fish and chips, let me just say!)

Hellie Sinclair said...

Sin: Thank you for the beautiful song. *aside to Terri* Take the microphone from her. I don't want another rendition of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" like last time.

Tiff: Thank you and don't worry. Terri has already tied this inner tube around my waist, just on the off chance I do fall overboard.

Maggie: *LOL* Thank you Maggie! You did paint a beautiful picture. Rum-ba indeed!

Hellie Sinclair said...

*beating aside Terri to get at chocolate cake* OMG! Firing cannons!! That's so awesome! *tugs a string and cannon fires, spraying Terri with cream cheese frosting* Oops. Sorry about that. *tastes frosting* But it's VERY good, Marnee. We better not tell Martha. She's been to prison you know. She might shank you out of pure jealousy.

Terri Osburn said...

Tell me you DID NOT just lick frosting off my face. That's just....WRONG!

*toddles off to shower and grabs a hottie on her way*

Hellie Sinclair said...

I licked it off the cake, thank you much.

irisheyes said...

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HELLION!!!!

Since Sin is singing and Terri supplied the hotties and Marnee baked a cake, I guess I'll supply the party favors!!!!

*Irish handing out special "21st Birthday" party hats.*
Yes, you have to wear the hats!!
*Irish ignoring the grumbling from the crewmembers*
Sheesh you're worse than a group of 10 year olds boys!
*Irish handing out the noisemakers.
Crewmembers eyes light up and a few eyebrows get raised!*
Okay now on the count of three everyone blow!!!

One...Two...Three!

Terri Osburn said...

How come mine didn't make any noise? Who sabotaged my blowy, sound-making thingy-majiggy?!

*Captain smacks Boatswain in the nose with her noisemaker shreaking*

Of course you would be a professional blower, now wouldn't you?

Lisa said...

Awesome job Terrio!

Happy Birthday Cap'n. *smooches*

In honor of your birthday you can have all of my rum rations today. *g*

If it makes you feel any better I'm older than dirt.

Enjoy:)

Hellie Sinclair said...

You're just jealous! *blows thingie-majig again, loudly and obnoxiously*

Hellie Sinclair said...

Lisa, you're not possibly older than dirt! *LOL* But thank you for the rum rations anyway. Someone sober needs to be steering this ship for the day. *points at Terri* And it won't be Horatio Hornblower here; she can't even pass the breathilyzer!

Terri Osburn said...

Hey! Who threw you this damn party!? Don't be hatin'....

Hellie Sinclair said...

What? You just *said* you couldn't blow it. How am I hatin'?

I need more cake.

Terri Osburn said...

No, I said someone sabotaged my thingy. Totally different than me not being able to blow it.

This conversation would sound really weird out of context. LOL!

*cough* folders *cough*

Hellie Sinclair said...

I shouldn't have to work on my birthday. *pouts*

Terri Osburn said...

Then why are you? LOL! You should have just taken the day off. But then what else would you be doing? Talking to all that Captain Jack stuff in your room I suppose.

No, it's better your hear so we can harras...errr... I mean celebrate with you.

Lisa said...

I am old....if I was a lizard I'd be a belt by now:)

*waving hand frantically in the air* I'll steer the ship, I've always wanted to steer! *climbing off cannon.*

Marnee Bailey said...

*Marnee wiping chocolate from the corners of her mouth* OOhhh... party hats! *snapping one on top of her head* I love hats.

So, if she's turning 21, don't we have to do shots? My favorite, "The Three Wisemen" - Jim, Jack, and Johnnie. We can always stand more men on the ship, especially for a party. :)

Hellie Sinclair said...

I'm working because the advisors are driving me NUTS. They start babbling about their students as if I know who they are...then about 10 minutes they go, "You have no idea who I'm talking about." "None." Then they start again. It's like when your parents start babbling about relatives they think you should know, or neighbors who lived in your area when you were three. "You remember Mrs. Smythe, don't you honey? She had the little dog."

Right, that narrows it down.

ARGH.

So I have to get the folders done, or I'm going to shooting tranquilzer darts at them. Actually that sounds kinda fun, really...

Hellie Sinclair said...

Steer away, Powder Monkey. I think you'll do a goo... WATCH OUT FOR THAT SHIP...oh, for the love of G...

Hellie Sinclair said...

You know, when I was 21, I never did that Trio.

That doesn't sound right out of context either, does it?

Terri Osburn said...

What do you mean "when you were 21"?! You are 21 today!

Peter, Paul and Mary didn't ANYONE read the bloody script?

*mumbling* I don't know why I bloody bother even trying with these lushes....

Hellie Sinclair said...

Right. I mean, yes, I'm 21 right now. *coughing* Yeah, we all believe that. Well, line up the shots already. I could always use more Jack...and I've known some nice Jims in my time--all 21 years of my time that is.

Anonymous said...

This conversation would sound really weird out of context? Hell, really Dirty is more like it! LOL Happy 21st Birthday Captain Hellion, you child Prodigy you! And I vote for you taking the rest of the day off… Yes. Tell da boss that wanna spend yer special day blowing the thinga-ma-jingy that your friends got for you!
Snort
Sorry
I couldn’t help myself.
I must be a little light headed…. From all this blowing…. hahahaaaaa

Hellie Sinclair said...

*hands Julie a thingie-majiggy and lines up a rum shot* Everyone who comes on board *hiccups* hash to do a shot. And they hash to wear this *holds up a shirt that says: I'm a Great Blower, Buy Me a Drink and Find Out*

Thanks for coming over to celebrate!!!

J.K. Coi said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Ok, hand me one of those shirts.

Terri Osburn said...

*Ducks the shirt flying at J.K. then gets hit in the face with another. Holds up the shirt the Captain threw and reads it*

HEY!!! MY BLOWER IS NOT BROKEN!

Hellie Sinclair said...

Oops, I thought you were too drunk to notice. *hands her a different shirt* What? What's wrong with "After 8 shots I won't remember my name let alone yours"? Too suggestive?

Terri Osburn said...

Talk about false advertising. I don't remember shit BEFORE the 8 shots! LMAO!!!

Sorry that I'm late to the party! Since I can't possibly rival Sin's riveting rendition of the traditional birthday song, I thought I would try a different little ditty.

Hellion, it's your birthday.
Party away! Hurray!
You give us the gift of humor and snark,
And make us laugh every day.

Hellion, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Hellion.
Hellion, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Hellion.

I wish you lots of good writing.
I wish you publication.
I wish you contracts that your heart desires.
And yes, eMANcipation.

Hellion, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Hellion.
Hellion, it's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Hellion.

Yeah!

(with apologies to Lisa Simpson for stealing her birthday song)

Hellie Sinclair said...

Janga--I think you found me a word I needed for my WIP! Holy cow!! Thank you for the well wishes--and of course, much needed word. (I was tearing my hair out about it too!)

Lindsey said...

Woot!! Happy birthday, Hellion! Hope you have an plunder-ific day!

Hellie Sinclair said...

Thank you, Lindsey. Right now trying to decide if I'll be virtuous and go to the gym; or Hellion-istic and get some Chinese food and go home!

Hellie Sinclair said...

I want to thank everyone again for coming by and wishing me a very happy birthday! It was a wonderful one--and it's because of all my great friends who go the extra mile to spoil me rotten and holler and say hey! Don't think it goes unnoticed or unappreciated! :)

Okay, this is as sappy as I plan to get this year...so I hope you enjoyed it.

Terri, a special shout out to you for finding my fish and chips!

Terri Osburn said...

Ah, I do what I can. And I won't even mention that it got me out of having to come up with a blog topic for today. *g*

No, it's all about you, Captain. All about you....

Now go be Hellion-istic and get the Chinese food. But get extra because you'll be hungry in half an hour...

Happy Birthday!!!

Elyssa Papa said...

Happy Birthday, Hellion!!!

Drink up some more!

Renee said...

I'm always that last to arrive. That's okay though I find it quite entertaining.

Hellion have a shot of Captain Morgan on me. Do be careful not to fall into the abyss, you never know when Davey Jones will go on vacation.

Gosh to be twenty-one, that was three kids and sixty pounds ago. :)

Anonymous said...

LOL
I Love that t-shirt motto.
Forget those folders Mshellion! Feed ‘em to the fishes.
You should market t-shirts & party favors under yer own fashion label….. call it Pirate’s Bootie or Boodie or Boo-oops-never-mind. And I’m beginning to wonder with all this talk of shots & shirts & Pirates gone Wild if this Really is a Pirate ship I’ve stowed away on …. Or is it… could it be…
Spring Break!
Yes!

Terri Osburn said...

Renee - Didn't you get the memo? We're all 21 today. LOL!

Julie - it's always Pirates Gone Wild around here. I say we pull the ship into Key West for Spring Break. Oh, that would be a total blast!!!

Santa said...

I had no idea you had a birthday today (or maybe I did and have forgotten) and, not only that, but you are finally LEGAL!!

Enjoy the day and may it be full of rum, rambunctious revelry and randiness all around!

Cheers!
