Gooooooooooooooooooood evening, Paradisa. This is Barney Stinson, President of the Awesomeness Committee, and I am pleased to inform you that we will be having our Grand Relaunch Barbecue And All Out Awesomefest this Saturday. It's being held by myself and the smokin' hot and super-awesome Lucrezia Borgia, and if you think a party should have it, it'll be there.

We'll be holding it from the lawn all the way in to the pool, so bring your bikinis, your sunscreen, your appetite, and your dancing shoes. Everyone's invited, and everyone's everyone oughta be there.

With any luck, we won't end up with any cars in the ditches or people doing the Dead Man's Float in the pool, but other than that, F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn't throw a better party than this one. Trust me. It's gonna be legen --



Wait for it...




-- DARY.

this is perfection

[heloise]

Tell me about this Fitzgerald, can he possibly compete?

[bro_codebreaker]

He kinda set the model for Awesome Parties - well, like, eighty years ago for me, anyway. He wrote this book about a rich guy who threw The Biggest Party Ever every single week.

So I don't know if he could actually compete, but the guy he wrote the book about could. If, you know, he was real.

Which - I'm pretty much the closest Paradisa's gonna get. Probably even better because I don't stand around after everyone's gone home getting all depressed about green lights.

[heloise]

If so, we must be sure to win the competition even against a fictional party. [ Because she's a Borgia GDI, can't shame her name. ]

What will you do after everyone has gone home?

[hatedbyfanboys]

A barbecue, huh...? That sounds fun.

[bro_codebreaker]

Saying an Awesomeness Committee party sounds fun is like saying the Pacific Ocean sounds wet. It's like saying Angelina Jolie looks reasonably attractive. It's like saying Top Gun was an okay movie. It's --

Well, you get the picture.

[onlyanapple]

Sure, why not. Might even be vaguely entertaining.

[bro_codebreaker]

You never did tell me what kinda food you'd rather have so I can make it happen.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Legendary, indeed! A barbecue outdoors and some swimming in the pool is perfect!

[bro_codebreaker]

Knew I could count on you! ... Chie, right?

[well_assembled]

I can't remember the last time I was at a barbeque.

[bro_codebreaker]

Then on Sunday morning, we need to be sure you are not able to say that, anymore.

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe chuckles]

Sounds like my kind of party.

[bro_codebreaker]

Phoebe, I would hope every kind of party was your kind of party.

[princeandwizard]

[He chuckles quietly. That guy's really into this.]

I'll have to make sure I leave Saturday open for this.

[bro_codebreaker]

That's the spirit! We'll see you there. Bring your a-game, we're gonna have volleyball.

[gottaknockhard]

[Hold on. Did Lucrezia join the club...]

You're pulling out all the stops.

[bro_codebreaker]

[think Johnny Depp's infamous "Pirate...?" line]

Barney Stinson...?

[therealrisette]

Oh, you're helping Lucrezia-san with the party?

[She doesn't know what all this talk about awesomeness is all about, but a party. A summer party! With bikinis and dancing! And no agency to tell her anything will ruin her perfect idol image!]

I'll definitely be coming!

[bro_codebreaker]

[ohoooo, Japanese girl at journal o'clock. he loves you, Paradisa. have a reply IN Japanese, no less]

It'll be an honor to have you there.

[thebestseller]

Can't have a party without me. Count me in.

[bro_codebreaker]

You got it! Bring your super soaker.

[honeytoes]

See this is how you kick off an awesomeness committee!

Do you need anybody to man the grill? I'd bring my own spatula and saucy cooking apron.

[bro_codebreaker]

I've got one helper already, but considering how many RSVPs I've got, more would NOT be out of line. I'm already planning a big dugout next to the barbecue, so we can pack it with ice and coolers. BEER TRENCH.

[whistles_the_blues]

I don't really eat or swim, but I'll be there!

[This loss will ruin his anti social reputation.]

[bro_codebreaker]

That's okay, there's other stuff too. I'm thinking a volleyball net. Bocce. Horseshoes.
