Gashi soshite aisatsu everyone, and welcome to Sasori’s Rock! (I know we haven’t been around for quite a while…) And I know you’re probably not very happy with us… (And we deeply apologize, but that’s not why we’re here.) We’re here to deliver a very special message to a very special person, my best friend Saranie Lisi! (You see, yesterday was her birthday.) We would’ve posted this on her actual birthday, but there were computer problems involved. (Anyway, we thought we’d gather up some old friends–and enemies–for a little celebration, and to give Saranie a great big Sasori’s Rock-style wish for birthday happiness!) That’s right! And everyone’s here. (And when we say everyone, we mean everyone.) Including Takusan’s *ahem* “friend” Amarini Kawaii, who came to us all the way from Beverly Hills! Like, hi! *giggle* (And remember the guys from the May 13th entry, My Brief Involvement With The Mafia?) (Hello. I am Vinny Tortellini, and these are my associates Frankie, Louie, Joey, and Tony. Oh, and this is our police escort, Bob.) Howdy! (Hey, why doesn’t the policeman get parentheses?) There are many benefits to working on the side of the law, son. What he said. I've also decided to let Kumori Shuga, the rebellious manifestation of my subconscious, out of my brain for a while. Um, not to be a pest, but I’m getting a tad uncomfortable strapped to this chair…would someone please untie me? No. Hey, what about me? I have feelings too, you know. Oh, I am so sorry! This is Melancholy Ted, the one-eyed blue octopus with twenty-seven tentacles from Overactive Imagination. Well, at least she had the decency to tell everyone my name this time… (SASORI! Touzoku is trying to steal my shoes!) *Sigh* The baka untying my muse’s sneakers is Touzoku. He tried to steal my manuscript in Only YOU Can Prevent Plagiarism. (I resent that!) Hey, I can cart you right back to the slammer in an instant, pal. (Ehehehe…) Um, Sasori? Why is that guy, like, taking notes on the decorations? Hai, Roland, what are you doing? Well, I noticed that some of these streamers are red and white, and as you know, it is my duty to report any and all signs of possible offense Canada. Um…right. This is Roland, the border inspector who stowed away in my trunk in The Right Way To Wainwright. (He tends to get a bit obsessive about his country.) Hey, I’m only doing my job. Of course you are. Well, anyway…is everyone ready? (For what?) *Sigh* For the big surprise! Remember? (Oh yeah!) Okay everyone, just like we rehearsed. (On the count of three:) One…two…three!
Youki Tanjoubi, Saranie!
(Woohoo!) Yeah! All right! Well, that’s all for today. If anyone else wants to give his or her congratulations to the birthday girl, head on down to Saranie Tae by looking up saranie_lisi and leave a comment in her blog. I’m sure she’d appreciate it. (Wait a minute…are you kicking us out? The party just got started!) (Yeah, we can’t just, like, leave!) Well…oh, what the heck! Crank the tunes, Ted! Let’s get this party started! (If you say so.) Once again, happy slightly belated birthday!
Aikou kara Sasori! (Pass the punch!)
