Nerd Church - Celebrity Birthday Buddies!

 

It's my birthday today (15th Sep) so I figured I'd have a little fun.

(...of the nerdy sort, because that's on-brand, let's be honest.)

So, y'know that thing where people talk about their ideal celebrity dinner guests, either living or dead, fictional or real?

This isn't that.

But it is somewhat adjacent to that.

I thought that instead I'd talk about my celebrity birthday party list - with the twist that they also have to have their birthday on September 15th. Just because it's an awesome date, let's be honest.

So, here's my celebrity birthday buddies:

Prince Harry 

- who turns 40 this year, so Happy Birthday Harry (now you say it to me, OK?)

You can bring Meghan and the kidlets and I'll kick any paps who bother you in the crown jewels (...metaphorically. I do not condone violence. *shifty glances*)

Tom Hardy 

- who can bring me VENOM MERCH!!! I mean, what could be better?

Also he's apparently already friends with Prince Harry (real-life birthday buddies!) so they can share a car and save on fuel. #EnvironmentallyFriendly

Agatha Christie

- we may need to bring Mrs Christie up-to-date on a few social things, and make it clear that certain language that was acceptable in her day is not acceptable today.

Assuming she's OK with that though, and behaves herself, she'd be pretty good for a murder mystery party, right? 

...Maybe she'd be too good though, so we'd make her the victim or something - get her to write it? I don't know. We'll make it work. 😉

She'd probably be good at escape rooms too, and I've never done one of those, so that might be fun.

Marco Polo

- the dude, not the game. Although if he comes to the party, then we're going to play the game. Not in water though, cos I can't swim very well.

15th September is kind of a rough date for Marco, due to the poor record-keeping of medieval Venetians, but it's the date most commonly quoted for him, so he can join the birthday buddies club (cos I'm nice like that.)

We're probably gonna need a translator, though, because only English peasants spoke English in this time-period, so he's not likely to know it. 

We might have trouble finding someone who spoke whatever regional language Marco used (Italy was mostly regional languages and dialects at this point,) but I'm sure we'll find someone who can speak one of the languages he speaks at some point!

If all else fails, I'll try to instigate a complicated form of Pictionary for us all to communicate. 😘

...And yes, my brain is apparently OK with inviting dead people to this hypothetical birthday party, but insists that we can't just skip the language barrier.

(Because that's way more complex than inviting dead people, clearly. 😅)

What about you? Who would be invited to your celebrity birthday party?
