So they go all out for Hambones birthday, because he loves his birthday like a lot. So the entire 100th plan this party almost immediately after the last one, it's became a tradition in 1943 with him turning twenty, now he's turning twenty one so they needed to come up with a big shindig to celebrate. So everyone worked together with Hambone all year to come up with something.
Well now the party's today, Kidd left out some rules in the mess for people to go over before the party starts later today, lets read it shall we.
Number one: Arrive on time. Hambone's party is at 19:00.
Number two: Dress to the theme, to the best of your abilities. In case you forgot it's "Funky Formal With A Fun Twist." I'm not sure either, just figure it out.
Number three: No shoes on the dance floor. Socks and funky slippers are encouraged, so you can slide around. It's more fun apparently, Smokey is not excited about this.
Number four: All gifts must have at least one bow. Hambone oddly loves bows, he'll most likely put one on his head for the entire night.
Number five: If you're bringing someone that's not invited, they must be approved by Hambone.
Number six: We don't disrespect Hambones odd party hat. You especially can not touch it, unless you wanna explain to Smokey why your hand is no longer attached to your arm.
Number seven: No party crashers unless they have cake. No cake? No party for you.
Number eight: Hambone has all the say over the music. But you can get request forms from Helen.
Number nine: All birthday toasts must rhyme. Non-ryhming toasts will be ignored, sorry.
Number ten: All arguments are to be settled like serious adults aka rock-paper-sissors.
Number eleven: Curt and Dickie are the ones in charge of the snacks. Complaints go to Hambone.
Number twelve: No double-dipping unless it's the guacamole. The guac is fine, everything else no.
Number thirteen: Buck and Bucky are in charge of the drinks. They have to name a cocktail after Hambone.
Number fourteen: Bubbles and Crosby are in charge of desserts. The sugar levels in our blood must match the party vibe.
Number fifteen: No unauthorized mixing of drinks. Brady will be watching, he's the cocktail police.
Number sixteen: If we run out of chips, run to the mess don't walk, run to restock. You'll have a very sad Hambone on your hands.
Number seventeen: All food fights must be approved before hand. DeMarco is the referee if it is to the occur.

Number thirty four: No unauthorized glitter. Glitter zones will be marked very clearly, you'd have to be pretty stupid not to see it.

And with that, all we can do is hope that Hambones party will be one to remember!
