The HMS Elitist Bastard Needs Captains!

"And I have crumpled our paper captain
Now who will lead this swarthy crew?"
-Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, "Lemons"


Aye, mateys! It's time for someone else to take the helm of the HMS Elitist Bastard for her next voyage and many voyages to come. And don't ye be worrying now that you don't have experience being a Carnival host - ol' Captain Hunter's here for ye should ye need pointers.

I'll be putting together a schedule of captains here in a bit. If ye want a chance to command the ship, email me at dhunterauthor at yahoo dot com with yer name, yer blog's URL, and any shameless flattery ye care to include. If there's a month when ye can't captain, be sure to name it.

Here's the dates we're due to sail (updated: some dates are no longer in play):

June 28th

July 26th - Celebrity death match between John Pieret and PZ Myers

August 30th

September 27th - NP of The Coffee-Stained Writer

October 25th

November 29th

December 27th

For those of ye who've replied without a specified date, I'll be scheduling ye as soon as we have a full compliment o' commanders.

O' course, if demand grows, we may yet set sail every two weeks, so don't think this schedule be the end o' matters!

And if ye don't want to captain the ship, ye can still sail with the crew. Get your submissions in to elitistbastardscarnival@gmail.com by Friday, June 28th, for a chance to man the greatest ship o' the line since the HMS Victory!

Excellent! I'll have ye promoted!

John Pieret said...

No, no, no, no! No celebrity death match! No, no! Mrs. Pieret did not raise no idiots! No!

John Pieret will graciously (and simperingly) yield to Herr Doktor Professor Myers and take the next open spot where he will bask in the warm afterglow of celebrity, thank you very much!
