Celebration Aboard The Limegreen Scourge!
A moment I've been looking forward to for a while... I finally made it to the top 10 of each of the four categories: I'm now simultaneously on the list of Top 10 Rated Blogs, Top 10 Viewed Blogs, Top 10 Commented Blogs and Top 10 Bloggers.
Given, the Top 10 Bloggers is one I could control myself, but the others I owe to the people reading and commenting on this blog. Thanks, people.
And of course, no momentous occasion can pass without a decent celebration of sorts. Yours truly, Captain Schizo 'Skull Kitten' Kaita, has docked the Scourge in the BioLog harbour and the boarding plank has been lowered. There are garlands and Chinese lanterns in the rigging, I've rolled out the fancy gold-embroidered sails and tables have been provided near the leeboard railing. On these tables you will find the most delicious platters the sea has to offer: fried squid rings (or calamari, if you so wish to call it), tarama (salty fish egg paste with flower and olive oil), gamba, scampi, shrimp and shark fin soup, every kind of fish imaginable (watch out for that blowfish, though - thar be poison in there), and even a special live sushi bar. We even went through the trouble of ordering is some Makuta fish, Ruki fish and Takea shark. McSmeag harpooned another sperm whale last week whilst reciting Melville's Moby Dick, but we already sold that one. We did carve some ivory party reminders out of the remains for you all, though
Available refreshments are coconut milk, water, tea and coffee for the minors and rum and beer for the adults, few as they may be. (O' course, if ye so happen to accidentally pour yerself a drink behind me back, I may not have seen you doing it...)
We'll start off early at 7 PM, so you can chat up with other BZP members and even some exclusive guests: Her Majesty, Empress Tufi Piyufi, and the Eminent Princes, Shannara and Kex, will also be attending. (Captain Schizo nor his crew are responsible for any physical or emotional trauma suffered throughout said conversations.) We'll also be projecting One Piece movies one through seven on the main sail. Fansubbed, naturally.
At 10 PM, the famous Pirate Piñata returns, filled with golden dubloons, pieces of eight and silver knives. (Yarr, I'd watch out when that thar thing bursts open to spill forth the loot, lads 'n lasses...) The resemblance with Algernon is purely a coincidence, I swear 'pon me dad's watery grave. (He's still alive, so I've no qualms with tha'.)
At 11 PM, there'll be a Hatebeak show, with everyone's favourite avian vocalist. Bring yer earplugs if ye're not man enough to handle the black metal noise. (EDIT: Lady K and her Flying Dutchmen may follow suit, if they can still be booked.)
But the party has then only begun: our very own T-Hybrid has 'volunteered' (some minor threatening was involved, I plead guilty) to spin the wheels and drop the beat from the Scourge's aft deck. His DJ set will last till the early hours. Watch out for break-dancing Vahki Schizakh, they're still malfunctioning. I swear, I don't know why Bink neve made them water-proof. Besides being rusty, they're getting barnacles all over them. They look as if they just walked off the Flying Dutchman, I swear.
For those who need to take a break and enjoy the sea breeze, there are Lazy Boy bean bags on the foredeck. Or if you're staying the night, there are hammocks in the for'ard hold.
So please, do stop by. The next occasion on which you walk these decks may be less... cordial.
Let the celebration commence!
EDIT: Because we're still having fun, the party has been prolonged for a few more days.
