Saturday November 22Shiver Me Timbers Party
Avast me hearties! On November 22, 1718 the pirate Edward Teach aka Blackbeard was killed in battle by the bloody English Navy — so tonight we are going to rape and pillage and do other piratey things, like say "Ahrrrrr"
Decor: Fly the Jolly Roger
Dress: Piratical.
Drinks: Captain Jack Sparrow, or something with Rum and lime like an Easy Lei
Game: Shiver Your Timbers and Walk the Plank. Losers get marooned on a desert island which in our place looks a lot like the bedroom.
DVD: Crimson Pirate, the best Pirate flic ever. And Pirates of the Caribean which has the best pirate performance ever.
Tunes: there's not a lot of hot pirate tunes around, but do the best you can. All we can think of are the Captain Hook tunes from Peter Pan, which won't go over real well with hetero buccaneers.

In 1877, Thom "The Bomb" Edison announced his
invention of the phonograph, the earliest precurser of the
iPod.
But wait, there's more!
In 1905, Albert "Babe Electromagnet" Einstein published "Does
the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?" which
got all the local frauleins really wet because he told them
he'd written it about their body. This paper (an early precursor
to Wikipedia) revealed the relationship between energy and
mass, leading directly to E = mc² (a early precurser to the formula for
ecstacy).
