Blare the trumpets it's.....Cap'ns Birthday!
The undead monkey screeches, swipes his grubby paws through the icing on the cake, and darts off. Chance keeps the drinks coming, and keeps all the pirates loaded.
Cap'n Hellie stumbles up to the front, and Sin helps her stand on a whiskey barrel. "Attention crew! No one, and I mean no one, was supposed to know!"
Hal leans over to Marn: "How much has she had to drink?"
Marn: "Not that much. What's Chancey putting in these drinks?"
Cap'n Hellie totters on the Whiskey barrel, but regains her footing with the help of one of the cabin boys. "Thank you, dear. If you stick around, I'll thank you properly."
The cabin boy pinched her butt as he walked away.
Ter raised her glass: 'Now this is turning into a party!"
"Noooo!" Cap'n wailed. "No one was supposed to know!"
Sin and Chance, at the bar, looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Right, secrets on a pirate ship. Does she think she's commanding a crew who actually listens to her?"
"Apparently not!" Hellie sat down on the barrel to avoid to avoid tottering again and re-adjusted her birthday tiara. "I thought I'd fooled you all last week with saying I was taking time off for no special reason."
Ter refilled her glass and whispered to Sin, "Right, like that was going to actually work."
"But the point," Marn said, "Is that now we get to have a party! Where'd the cake go?"
"I think the monkey ate it," Hal said.
Santa came rushing up from the galley, J hot on her heels. "I saved the cake! I saved the cake!"
J held up the undead monkey by his scrawny neck. "And I caught the little bastard." Icing coated his face while he squeaked away.
"Okay!" Hal said. "Now it's a freakin party!"
Happy birthday to Hellie! Who wants to party with us today? Chance, what are you putting in those drinks? Santa, this cake is delicious! Who put these decorations--they're awesome! So Hellie, what did you decide to do with your time off? Johnny's at the bar. He seems sad waiting for you. He has a very special birthday present to give you!

So everyone has decided to be fashionably late. Interesting. LOL!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN! Have fun getting plucked. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HELLI!!!!!
Birthday advice: Growing older is mandatory; growing up is optional. Go have some fun.
Hilarious advice, Irish!
I was fashionably late to start it off *g*
Happy birthday Cap'n!
So.....whatcha getting plucked? LOL!
I must say, I'm highly jealous of Hellie's day off! It's a chilly, rainy day here. I think I'd curl up in bed with a book and not move.
Happy Birthday!
I always celebrate a "birthday month", because anymore, one day just doesn't seem enough! (Until my birthday is made a national holiday. LOL) It does require you to pace yourself though!
And um, about the decorations? I think there should be a few (thousand) more Hottie pics. Just my opinion. :)
Donna suggested more Hotties. So I felt it only appropriate to add in a picture of Johnny *g*
That dressed the place up right nice.
Yes it did! LOL!
Looks like HE wasn't late to the party! LOL
Thanks -- that really made the celebration so much more FESTIVE!
didn't it? I thought so to!
Now what about the presents? (BESIDES, Johnny.)
And UNWRAPPING the presents? :)
I'm sure there are some lovely parting gifts for everyone who showed up!
Is she at the spa?!!! UGH I wanna switch places *in my daughter's best whiney voice*
It is 16 degrees here. It snowed AGAIN last night. I've got to take my 74 y/o FIL grocery shopping and 8 teenagers to Lenten confession at church tonight. Can anyone say "Calgon, take me away!"
Irish, I'm guessing the 8 teenagers will have something interesting to confess! LOL *sprinkles Calgon all over Irish*
Oh, and that comma in my last post -- between BESIDES and Johnny -- yeesh. Consider that a gift from me (and feel free to re-gift it!)
I love the chick pirate picture at the top. That's exactly how I imagine Hellie to look.
Happy Birthday, Hells!!
8 teenagers? Irish, you should be sainted.
Marn, I thought the same thing when I saw that pic! It's Hellie!
Irish, you're going to need to confess the homicidal thoughts you're going to have driving those 8 teens to confession. LOL!
extra commas! Excellent gifts! I always want to use more commas than are grammatically correct. Then again, this is a pirate shop, so why bother with little things like the rules of grammar!
Where's Chancey! She's got some great gifts in the form of drinks!
who me? geez, that is a lot of exclamation points and commas, isn't it? LOL!
From the looks of that comment, I think you've already had plenty of drinks, Hal.
LOL!
I am a comma and exclamation point whore. And if you met me in real life you'd see that I don't pause or get as excited as often as I do when I write! LOL
And who needs capital letters?
Yeah, my son has already started the "I have nothing to confess!" chant. So, I've got a running list for him to take with him. Whereas my daughter will include leaving the cap off the toothpaste tube. It's really quite hilarious - the one that really ought to be going is the DH but of course he's nowhere to be found when we're loading up the car. Although he always offers to add to MY list! *Irish making a note to try to get the family to take our religion a little more seriously*
LOL! Irish, I can't use that excuse. I was a cheerleader, and it shows *g*
Ter, exactly. We're pirates -- we don't need capital letters *g*
And I bet I can guess the sins he'd like you to add. LMAO!!
Hal - That should be our new motto. We're Pirates! We don't need no stinking grammar!
I haven't done the confession thing in years, but I think I always confessed the same things. Cursing (and I eventually stopped confessing that since I had no intention of stopping) and I can't remember the other. Really, unless you're killing, stealing, or assualting people, you're pretty much okay.
Love the motto!
I've never been to confession -- I was raised Baptist. I was told, however, if you take communion without confessing all your sins to God, you will be struck down on the spot. I still start shaking when I have to take communion!
A quote about "rules" I heard that I love (from the TV show "White Collar", said to the FBI guy to the con man): "You know, for someone who doesn't live by the rules, you sure do have a lot of them."
I love the motto, too :)
Don't you love the smiting rules?
Ooohhh HAPPY BIRTHDAY mon Capitaine!
Look! For your B-Day I got you an all inclusive Guilded Tour of Your Rascally Raucous Relatives on Wikipedia!
Donna - I LOVE White Collar. And that was when Neal didn't want to go near the dead guy. LOL! For a criminal, he sure doesn't like violence.
Really, unless you’re killing, stealing, or assualting people, you’re pretty much okay.
That's pretty much how I feel, Ter, but that'll be our little secret for the next couple of years. LOL I pretty much told them that I think they're great kids but it never hurts to say you're sorry - keeps you humble. I'm thinking teenagers need humility more than anyone else out there. I'm hoping it will transfer into their adulthood.
I love that picture of me! I wish you people would stop robbing my Facebook pictures though. You bunch of bloody pirates.
Ah, there's my Jack. *sighs*
This is the best party ever. Thanks, you bunch of not-listening, stubborn, party-lovin' pirates!!!
I'm not hugging you, Chance...don't try. Once at Christmas was enough.
My spa stuff is in the afternoon. With my hangovers, it's always best to make sure the things I schedule don't happen until after lunch.
So I've been sleeping in. But I thought I'd check in to make sure the ship hadn't burned down in my absence. *LOL* (I know how you guys like scented candles. Esp the cabana boys.)
Irish, next time, you have to come with me for my birthday stuff. We'll both get massages. It'll be totally justified because you're going to be here for moral support!
Thank you, my pirates, for the birthday well wishes. Though I'm still not really acknowledging my birthday. But whatever.
DRINKS ALL AROUND!
oh, right, not acknowledging that part.
Happy Celebrate Hellie Day!
Happy birthday!
We can celebrate without acknowledging, right? Sure we can.
Enjoy your spa, Hellie! I did the same thing on my bday - slept in and went for a massage - can't beat it. I'll be thinking of you * Irish off to shovel and shop*
I think me comment is being censored...sigh.
Be back...meanwhile, enjoy the rum!
Enjoy the spa! I think I really need to hit that up. I feel like I'd enjoy the spa....
We're getting snowed on again. I could use a drink right now and not any of this stinking non-alcoholic ones.
Sorry I'm late to the party. Happy Birthday, Hellie! And happy, happy next year of your life. I don't think I can top Jonathan Swift's wish, so I'll just quote him: "May you live all the days of your life."
Server at work crashed and I was afraid I was missing the party. But I see the party is a quiet little celebration, so I'm not missing anything. LOL!
Lovely quote, Janga!
Have a Hooha, Marn. Extra glitter!
Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Captain Hellie and heres to many, many more! *raising a toast*
I like that quote, Janga!
I just heard on the radio, Hellie that you share a birthday with Sally Jessy Raphael, Renoir and George Harrison. I don't know about Sally Jessy, but Renoir and George are pretty cool, IMHO. :)
Sally's got those pretty cool red glasses...
Just sayin'!
Sorry, was off seeing the pirate van smogged.
Many happy returns of the day. (Whatever that means...I mean, really...returns of the day? Returns of what?)
I need more rum, getting philosophical!
Happy Birthday, Captain!!
Sorry, I'm late-I was felled my a migraine for most of the day.
Awesome blogs this week, crew! I've been buried with "stuff" this week.
Hope this is your best year ever, Hellion!
Di
This may be the quietest party we've ever had on here. Hope the massage was good! (I'll be scheduling mine soon if I can swing it.)
