*raises a beer*

EE, you're a prince amongst the commoners. But not the snotty, stuck-up prince that wouldn't save an urchin from choking by thwapping him on the back. More a "sneaking out in a costume to join the circus" kind of prince.

Funner, don't you know.

Here. Have a beer. I got plenty.

Robin S. said...

To Sparky,

May you never lose your very own version of a wicked sense of humor, or your own special blend of a sweet and evil heart. You’re the best. Congratulations. Here’s to an endless supply of your happy returns!

Chris Eldin said...

Dearest Evil,
Congratulations on two wicked funny years! And looking forward to many more...

Sylvia said...

Bit early for beer really, can I have a Bloody Mary instead?

Sandra Cormier said...

I put a little whiskey in my morning coffee in honour of the day.

writtenwyrdd said...

I'll settle fora virtual Irish coffee.

Thanks for all the fun, EE. Glad I found you via a google search for writing blogs!

A. said...

To Evil Editor... Congratulations!

Sylvia said...

If I have enough drinks, I might shift my avatar just enough to prove that I have eyes. Maybe.

Evil Editor said...

Hello? So much here I don't want to stop anywhere.

Nancy Beck said...

EE, without you, life would be as boring as crap.

I mean, you've learned me so many things - weredingoes, zombies, werewolf popes, snakes that talk...

Well, no, maybe it was the Snake River? No, maybe it was some hippie named Snake?

Oh hell...

::lifts can of Dr. Pepper:: Here's to EE and the Minions! Long may snark and fun and writing commingle! :-)

Robin S. said...

Ha! Sylvia- I think you should!!!

Blogless Troll said...

I'll have a beer with my cornflakes please.

Nancy Beck said...

OMG - the great one ist here! :-)

Sylvia said...

*pounce*

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Evil Editor said...

So, let me get this straight. Robin and Phoenix don't really have a blog?

Robin S. said...

Want some cream on those cornflakes, a la EE?

What beer, Guinness?

Chris Eldin said...

LOL at Sylvia pouncing! I think EE is off somewhere new again.

Quick, let's find him!!

Robin S. said...

Nope- robin and phoenix don't have a blog. We lied.

Blogless Troll said...

Er, I'll pass on the cream thanks.

Evil Editor said...

Okay, lemme go check out what I haven't yet.

A. said...

Liars before 9am... doesn't it warm your evil soul? :)

A.

Robin S. said...

Wait- tell us where to find you so this doesn't become cat and mouse, please!

Sylvia said...

So, let me get this straight. Robin and Phoenix don't really have a blog?

I'm laughing so loud people are coming from three blocks away to find out what's going on.

Stacia said...

Hee. It's almost 2 here, so I can have a nice drink. Jack and Coke, anyone? Or I have gin. And vodka. And rum. And just about anything else.

Robin S. said...

Yeah- good one, huh, Sylvia?

He thought he was so smaaaart thinking he knew we'd started a blog instead of the pretend friends. You know, lying should probably not be this gratifying!

Evil Editor said...

This could take hours. No wonder you guys needed two months to prepare.

Robin S. said...

Well, EE, what do you think?

Happy? Hope so!

Evil Editor said...

Thrilled. Too much work went into this. Now I know how the Manhattan Project got done so fast.

Anonymous said...

I'm just clickin' and commentin' and cruisin' around. My humerous is well-oiled and the Mimosas are flowing so I hope I don't type anything foolish!!!

Precie said...

In honor of EE, I raise a Zombie. ;)

Brenda said...

Morning, Mr. Man.

Evil Editor said...

Morning,

Sylvia said...

I do believe we are witnessing Evil Editor at a loss for words.

A first?

Robin S. said...

Well, Sparky, I'm glad you feel the love!

SO, here's to you- we're raisin' our glasses.

A. said...

Cheers :)

Evil Editor said...

Seldom do the evil get to feel the love.

Evil Editor said...

a, it's time to reveal your second letter.

Brenda said...

I came out of a deep, dark depression for you, dammit. You BETTER feel the love or we can make you feel it forcibly.

Just sayin'.

A. said...

I revealed my whole name in the Basement :)

It's Ashley... Shhhh, don't tell ;)

Robin S. said...

EE- you've had more visitors at the front door, sweetie.

Wanna go there and maybe check back here in a bit?

Evil Editor said...

Okay, back in the bar at 9:45eastern.

Sylvia said...

I bet he said that just keep us quiet ... so that he'd have time to catch up.

Evil Editor said...

I'm back. Mostly I was reading Paca's and Robin/Chris's. It'll take me till anniversary 3 to read everything. Someday you guys'll have to put this much energy into your novels.

Evil Editor said...

Damn, I have to go walk the weredingos or the big one'll get under my desk and turn off the modem. Back in the bar at 10:30.

Brenda said...

Someday you guys'll have to put this much energy into your novels.

Ouch! Where do you think I've BEEN?

Robin S. said...

Hey- We do. We do.

But in the meantime, we gotta play around.

People are talking in the 'basement' about how they first found your blog.

Nancy Beck said...

My humerous is well-oiled and the Mimosas are flowing so I hope I don't type anything foolish!!!

Ummm...mimosas. ::drool::

Go ahead and type something foolish - I do it all the time (sober, that is). ;-)

Robin S. said...

Yeah- foolish is goooood. We're among friends. Foolish is fine.

Blogless Troll said...

I'm pretty sure foolish is required.

Joely Sue Burkhart said...

Happy Anniversary, EE! I'm not a regular minion although Gutterball is my beloved sister, the Queen of Explosions. You once helped me with an opening to a novel that's gone on to sell, so a huge toast to Mr. Evil!

Sis, I almost feel the need to write some hidey hidey ho lyrics for weredingos...

Chris Eldin said...

How many weredingoes does EE have?

PJD said...

Two more years! Two more years!

I think we should initiate a write-in campaign. EE for President.

Can you imagine the world if EE were put in charge?

Wait, I think my head just exploded.

Happy anniversary, old man, and may we all live to see many, many more.

Stacy said...

Ha. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make it to the party, but it just so happens I have the day off today. Yay!

EE, your blog has been the source of much happiness and many thrills. And you, sir, have been an inspiration.

Happy Anniversary! *raises pot pipe* Here's to another million hits . . . on your blog, that is.

Robin S. said...

Hi guys- EE said he'd be back in the bar at 10:30 am Eatern.

Hey Freddie- days off - gotta love those!

Stacy said...

Robin - YESSSSS!!!! I can't believe the serendipity. Woo hoo!

Evil Editor said...

I'm back. Aren't you supposed to be at work Robin? Or are you breaking the anti-blog rule?

Robin S. said...

I took the day off, sparky.

Evil Editor said...

You should take the month off.

Robin S. said...

I really should. As soon as my book sells, I'll do just that.
Of course- I have to finish it first.

Kiersten White said...

I've been trying to get into the bar all morning, but I keep getting carded.

Congrats anyway, EE.

Evil Editor said...

Thanks.

Evil Editor said...

They're not carding you because they think you're 18; they just want your address.

Robin S. said...

So- have you been checking out the other blogs? Or the contests?

Evil Editor said...

I'm working my way through the blogs. It's all amazing. If I ever figure out who's behind all of this . . .

PJD said...

That's just typical. EE's always trying to get someone's behind.

Whirlochre said...

Bottoms up.

Robin S. said...

Love those sockies, Whirl!

Hi Pete! you're gonna be busy, aren't you, judge?

Sylvia said...

I'm still working my way through the blogs too - and laughing aloud!

PJD said...

That's poet lariat to you. (Thanks for the title, Phoenix!)

I certainly hope I'm going to be busy. The Limerick Contests need entries! Submit! Submit!

PJD said...

kiersten, it's when they stop carding you that hurts. glad you made it in.

Whirlochre said...

I'll bung in some limericks later when I can stop myself passing out with excitement.

Oh.

Here I go agai

Robin S. said...

You're so right about the carding.
Ouch.

Also, whne you're first called 'ma'am. That really sucks.

OK- Peete- I guess that would be 'sir' for your guy types, but still, Kiersten, you're so young- you've got it made, girl!

Robin S. said...

Whirl- you nut!

Yeah- Sylvia- I gotta read more of the blogs myself.

Blogless Troll said...

All right Chief Judge, I submitted. Now how bout a simile? Anyone?

PJD said...

Oh... similes... I can not wait to read what whirlochre submits there. Once the passing out stops.

Sylvia said...

Geez, slave-drivers!

Chris Eldin said...

Kiersten, LOL about getting carded!
:-)

Whirl, your avatar is freaking me out.

Is anyone entering the contests? I'm off to see....

Robin S. said...

Can the similes be nasty?

Blogless Troll said...

Preferably.

Stacy said...

Excuse me, Christine, Whirl's avatar is freaking you out? I've been sitting here for the last hour rubbing my eyes and trying to figure out whether your rhinocerous is actually wearing a pair of thongs.

Too bad we don't have a Back Door for that!

Sylvia said...

I can't submit my best limerick until the deadline, else I'll immediately write a better one!

Sylvia said...

Re: Rhinocerong - I'm so glad you said that Freddie. I didn't like to admit that I was wondering.

PJD said...

sylvia, unless I'm mistaken, there is no rule limiting the number of limericks you can submit. write one, submit it, then write a better one, and submit that, too.

Blogless Troll said...

Excellent point Freddie.

Robin S. said...

OK- I'll simile on over there and do something.

Be back in a bit. Hold my bar stool, please, you all! Put a coat on it or something.

Blogless Troll said...

We'll put a banana on it.

Stacy said...

Robin, I will be here fending off anyone who tries to sit there. Unless, it's EE himself, of course.

Kiersten White said...

Yeah, it's great when I'm out with my one- and three-year-olds and people tell me I look seventeen. So you're saying I look like the type that had a baby at fourteen--and then another one at sixteen? It's not really that flattering.

But come on, I've seen your picture, Robin--you're much more of a babe than I'll ever be. Does your husband know about your torrid affair with EE?

Evil Editor said...

Is that stool taken?

Chris Eldin said...

LOL, Freddie!!
It's silk, so you don't have the itchy feel you get with wool.

EE, how did you get the idea for starting your blog?

Stacy said...

*takes banana and coat off*

No! Have a seat, you sexy thing! *winks lecherously*

Robin S. said...

I'm back in it now, Sparky- but I sat on a freakin' banana.

You can certainly sit on me, though.

Yeah, Kiersten, I read my husband a few of my writign exercises, and he liked them until he realized they always end up with me and EE, ya know, well, ya know. He really doesn't ask me to read them to him much anymore! And he calls EE - 'that editor guy'.

Sylvia said...

*psssst* Someone watch what he orders to drink, buying hot tips for the cocktail competition!

Stacy said...

Oh, thank God, Christine. That's a relief. I'd hate to be in the vicinity of an uncomfortable rhinocerous in an itchy thong.

Robin S. said...

Ha!

EE- I wanna know what Chris asked - how did you decide to start blogging and help us all out?

Evil Editor said...

EE, how did you get the idea for starting your blog?

A fan of Miss Snark told me, "You should start a blog. It would be hilarious."

I said, "A what?"

After hearing the response I said, "Who would want to read OR write a blog?"

And the rest is history.

Kiersten White said...

Ah dangit, I knew it was a bad idea bringing my kids to the bar. Does anyone know who's hula skirt this is?

Stacy said...

Yeah, EE. What made you decide to start the blog?

Evil Editor said...

It's mine.

Kiersten White said...

At least your blog is awesome, EE. The rest of us spew our thoughts out to the net and the world thinks, "Why do they think anyone cares?"

Anonymous said...

EE,
I remembered when Miss Snark first introduced thee---hehe...lol.

Thank you for two awesome years, and I look forward to many, many more! :*)

Kiersten White said...

And the coconut shell bikini my daughter has, yours too?

Evil Editor said...

Robin's.

Robin S. said...

Oh, yeah? I'm nore into silky stuff.

I gotta good place for that coconut shell, though.

Wonder if I could use that in a nasty simile?

Robin S. said...

Hey Demon Hunter- Are you gonna be able to stick around?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Shutting down this thread now for faster refresh. Go to the 2nd round in the Bar to continue, please.
