Captain Nimarat's Pirate Party
"... I'm blue, if I were green I would die..."
We had a great time on Friday night. Taramin, (aka Captain Nimarat) hosted a Pirate Party. There was plenty of conversation, dancing, and mingling. There were rules for the party (as any good pirate captain requires). The most important rule was that if you didn't come dressed in pirate garb, you had to walk the plank:

Well.... Juergen's costume actually WAS the prisoner get-up, which I absolutely loved. So he didn't really have to walk the plank, and he never jumped in the water. He even stayed bound up for the majority of the night. Juergen's plank-walking not withstanding... there were several who dared show up without an eye-patch, so they did have to walk the plank. Tim was nice though... when he filled up the water-tub, he did it with warm water -- so it was a relatively pleasant plank-walking experience (or so I'm told).
(By the way, all the photos that I took at the party are up on flickr. I filled in as many names as I could -- I'm sorry for missing some, I suck at remembering names. Please leave a comment on the picture with suggested titles / descriptions, and I'll be sure to update them. Also, if you have any other pictures from the party, please email them to me and I'll add them to the flickr slide set)

Tim put together a great mixed CD for the party. One of the songs in the mix was Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. If you heard it, you'd remember it. In fact... you can watch it on You Tube (as with every other video in the world. Sean suggested that the "I'm blue, ba da bee da ba by" refrain was actually "I'm blue, if I were green I would die". DAMN that's an interesting theory.... go ahead, click the video... its definitely plausible. BUT, being the skeptical geek that I am, I googled it and found AmIRight.com (a site for misheard lyrics) and they list "if I were green I would die" as incorrect, as well as many other variations.... booooo :(
