Benson Yeung has just turned one and 100 at the same time
Benson Yeung’s First Birthday and 100th Hub Party
Hi guys. You’re cordially invited to my first birthday party as a writer. I didn’t know it and hardly remembered, but writing.com sent me a birthday message and said that my account was turning one year old. Apparently I was trying to get back into writing on 23 Feb 2008 and signed up with them on that day. A year has just passed, and I suppose now I’m a one year old writer. This very hub I’m writing also happens to be my 100th on hubpages.com. If hubpages hasn’t overlooked it, you should see a medal next to this particular hubtivity of mine. Let’s throw a party and celebrate my first birthday and 100th hub. There will be no alcohol, no smoke, no grass and no food. So, don’t bring a present. Nonetheless, there should be plenty people writing, and plenty to write about. (I will be approving your comments as soon as I can to allow greater spontaneity). Some of my die-hard fans will turn up and have fun for a good week’s celebration (I expect over a hundred people turning up, of course, but will settle for ten, provided the ten will write ten times as hard and long). I’d appreciate if each of my visitors will share a few words, any thoughts, or a link to his / her favorite hub (authored by himself or herself) for the rest of us to feast on. If you don’t turn up without filing a legitimate excuse (of course, there are no such thing as a legitimate excuse), you’ll make me so very mad, or revenging madly, by forgetting your first birthday, or your 100th hub, or even both of these. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Now, let’s party.

Hey Benson
Gee you're a year older! Congratulations! And I was invited that's why I'm here. And I RSVPed too: http://hubpages.com/hub/hot-grande-five-pumps-iris
:D
Hi Lgali,
thanks for coming. Is your middle name "Speedyfingers"? I'm impressed with your speed. Feel free to take your coat off if the heat picks up in here.
Hi Cris,
thanks for coming. good to see you at my party. Have fun and make yourself at home.
Count me in, Benson! On the way over to your place I'll have to pick up something witty to say, but I'll be there! Congratulations!
Congratulations, Benson! May you stay Forever Yeung.
Woohoo! I'm here with bells on my toes, a lampshade on my head (why wait till after the drinking? I might forget!) and a bottle of cheap champagne in my hand! Actually it might only be sparkling cider, but what the heck!
Happy 1st year of writing birthday and congrats on your hundredth hub!
Hi Christoph,
good to see you. Make sure you come back. Come as yourself, your full name is Christoph Witty Really.
I think I'm the only one who complied with the link requirement. Can you just delete that comment Benson as I'm starting to feel overly promotional :C
no alcohol or grass? Mind if I go outside real quick, take a few tokes, have a swig and then come back in?
Hi Rochelle,
thanks for coming. Let's all stay forever young, and me both a young yeung.
Hi Golden Toad,
please come back in. It's freezing cold outside. And the ladies have arrived.
Hi Pam,
You look great and should wear this outfit more often. The cider's fine too. Come on in.
You mean you actually taw a puddy tat?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Benson! :)
the chicks are here? Benson, let me back in!
Hi Cris,
Don't worry. I am not denying any comments tonight, except those denying my talent or my good looks, or both.
Wow two at once!! Congrats!! Keep on keeping on!!
Thanks Benson! :D
@ Cris A...I missed the link suggestion. Hmmm, I'll have to give it some thought. Yours is perfect! :)
What can I say? You have made me the writer I am today. I stand before the Academy, my proudest moment, and the one real "thank you" I have to say is to Benson, who taught me how to read, and write, and speak Portuguese. Happy Birthday!
Hi quicksand,
thanks for commenting and coming. I don't really know that saying. You have to post again and explain to me. Have fun and stay all night.
Visions of celebration dance in my head! I wouldn't miss this for the world! Does this mean we can now call you in the middle of the night for medical advice, lol!
golden toad,
my door will be open all night, even though I'm heading to bed (it's almost 2am in HK now). Make yourself at home (don't start stripping before I get back in the morning).
no promises on that.
Lady Guinevere,
good to see you. you look great tonight. Wow, and the outfit's perfect. You're sure you hadn't learned about this party before you left home today?
Pam Roberson,
thanks for coming back. look forward to seeing your link.
Benson, you are a characer! Luv ya!
Teresa McGurk,
thanks for the poem. I'm sure you've used it to steal a few hearts before. (Great one, except that you should change Portuguese to Chinese) Thanks all the same.
Good to see you tonight.
goldentoad,
To strip, or not to strip. We (I, at least) still love you.
Lady Guinevere,
And you're a Lady. Stay awhile, we love you too.
Dottie1 ,
Call me anytime and you know I won't be there. I'd still be here instead. Thanks for the great lines.
Hey... wait for me GT lol. I´m sorry Benson but don´t worry because me and GT will come back in no time, right GT? Well... in fact it can take a while since the nearest alcohol shop stays a few block away...
Now seriously, congratulations on your first anniversary and for your achievement here at Hubpages. I hope you don´t kick us out before morning... :D
I decided to leave you with my first ever hub: http://hubpages.com/_funride/hub/Get-to-know-some-
Looking forward for your next party already. Lets have fun.
Ring Ring Ring - Hello Benson, I see you still up at 3:00 a.m. That's nice you stayed up waiting for my call!
Congratulations on the doubleheader.
Hi funride,
you're under-dressed. Go get changed, and of course, have a couple on your way back. You're welcome to stay all night and stay, as long as you DON'T behave. thanks for coming.
Dottie1,
Don't mind me. I'm not waiting for your call. I'm just sleep-hubbing. Thanks for returning. Stay awhile. Mix and mingle. You know everybody here, don't you?
Bob Ewing,
good to see you. thanks for the good wishes. I'll throw a party on my 110th hub if it can bring you to my door. Have fun.
Bob Ewing,
good to see you. thanks for the good wishes. I'll throw a party on my 110th hub if it can bring you to my door. Have fun.
(Christoph dances through the door with a lampshade on his head carrying several bottles of liquer. He then exits into the kitchen.)
Congrats Benson! Ummmm I'll be in the kitchen.
I can not believe you didn´t call us saying you would bring the booze Christoph... Me and GT have ride almost three blocks to get some beer... well, at least there are still some space on the kitchen for us :D
Pam and Christoph, you're having my kind of party fun! Well, that's assuming Christoph isn't doing anything nasty in the kitchen. C.A. Hubberpants seems to be absent. She'd add some spark to this party!
Happy birthday, and congrats, Benson. I wanted to attend anyway, but when I read the threat of retaliation and remembered that you promote the fact that you remove hemorrhoids as a profession, I figured my presence was required. I must bring a gift, though. I can't come emptyhanded. I'll be back later for the presentation.
Hi Lads and Lasses - want some jello shots and other green foods?
(Funride has come out of the kitchen, leaving Christoph and Patricia in there alone. We now hear loud smooching noises coming from behind the kitchen door. Patricia Costanzo says, "You, sir, are a cad!" More smooching noises.)
Congratulations my fav. Doc. I heard party so I inmediately put my high heels and party dress on... but then you tell me " There will be no alcohol, no smoke, no grass and no food" mmm... how's that?
(Chris opens the kitchen door. Whispering.) Psssst! Princessa! Come into the kitchen. We have all that stuff in here! (Princessa skips into the kitchen, joining Christoph and Patricia. More smooching noises.)
(whispering and breathless from dragging her bags loaded with goodies) I love it... finally found where the good stuff was kept, cheers Christoph!
Woohoo! Congrats!
Congrats, Benson!!!
I couldn't come to the party empty-handed!
Here, let me sing happy birthday to you. By the way, it is also my one year anniversary of being on HP.

Oh, and I brought balloons and a gift, too!

Of course, what a party be without the cake?
Well, Happy Birthday to you, too, Shirley!!!!!
Such talented people at this party. I may never wash my elbows again!
On my way with a good bottle of Tassie Red.
Congratulations.
I don't know where you get the time to publish 100 hubs.
(Or do you have one of those mini laptops, and type with one hand, while operating with the other ??)
Cheers, Eric G.
Christoph! Just what kind of girl do think I am! When I said I wanted a French Kiss, I meant the cocktail! Thank God I didn't ask for a sex on the beach or a screaming... well you get my point. Now do behave.
Did someone say sex on the beach?
Hey! Where's my lampshade? And what are those smooching noises coming from the kitchen? And why is Patricia trying to look so innocent? And where are goldentoad and funride going? Did somebody put something in my drink? Why am I asking all these questions?
*Pam peeks in the kitchen and sees Christoph dancing on the table*
Wow Benson, you throw one heck of a party! I need to run out and get some ones in case strippers arrive. :D
Oh Pam, am I being a tease again? Damn I hate it when I do that.
Lol Patricia! A tease? Nooooooo, never...*cough* :D
I see those smoochy smooch stars in your eyes. ;) I just wish I could have gotten back here sooner. :) Now I'm too tired to party. Maybe it'll still be going on in the morning. :D
Damn and I was waiting up for you too...sigh.
(Chris comes from the kitchen with a "cat who just ate a mouse" look.) Hi, Everybody!
gwendymom walks in the door carrying a bottle of tequila, gives Benson a big hug and tells him congratulations, she then walks towards the kitchen asking, "did someone say jello shots?"
Huh? ** swallows the last of the jello ** What?...
Hi Everybody, welcome and glad to see you. I'll be working for a couple of hours. Nobody leaves before I return. In case of emergencies, call 911, rather than me.
Have fun.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, you are a wonderful Doctor and your smart like one too.:) I will be happy to join your birthday party. :)
At last I am able to get in to wish you a wonderful birthday and many, many great wishes. Just continue to work as a surgeon and writer as well. Many Happy Returns of the Day and Forever!
Grats on both milestones (?) and um, yeah, a party with no booze ain't gonna happen, so in keeping with my affection for the undesirable element that has found its way to your party, I brought two cases of beer and I'm going into the kitchen to start drinking with Christoph. I have to tell you, I feel compelled on this occasion of your success to drink to such excess that I throw up in the fishtank or at the very least, make importune use of a large potted plant. It really wouldn't be a party without that, and, as your hub friend and respectful admirer I am willing to make this kind of sacrifice for you (and to induce as many others as I possibly can to doing so as well).
(Christoph and Shades are in the kitchen power shooting beers.)
Pest, I can't believe you hogged all the jello shots. Damn it!
Sorry bout that...whew! ** gets up on table to dance **
Happy Birthday Benson. I can't wait to be a year older as a writer! :)
I guess that leaves me no option but to drink the tequila straight from the bottle and go dance on the table with pest.
Thanks, Proud Mom! Don't tell Benson, but I'm having a beer in our honour. He's operating or writing or both at the same time, so he won't notice. Besides, Gwendymom and Christoph and Pest are in the kitchen table dancing so he'll be distracted by them. Or by Shades puking in his fishtank and peeing in the potted plants.
Great party, Benson!!
Rumours out, the whos who of hubpages are walking the carpet to your event. I bought more champagne, think you're going to need it.
Shirley, I missed the part where you said it was your anniversary, or birthday. Either way congrats!
I'll have some of that tequila, GM!
Thanks, Gwendymom. It's my one year on Hp anniversary this month....don't remember the date.
Take all you want CR, I don't mind sharing with you. I have to warn you though, tquila has this affect on me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqv-2emERFw
I might have to borrow that trash can from shades too.
Happy birthday Benson! Happy 100th hub too! Here's gift for ya.

and those who couldn't get in because of the traffic jam, many thanks for coming and making a mess of yourselves. I am more than happy to clean out the mess after a virtual hub-party. I say, we should have this more often.
cheers.
Hey Doc - congrats! Is the party over? *disappointment writ all over face* :(
Hi Shalini kagal,
Yes , I'm sorry. You can join me with cleaning up though.
I'll be there, happy birthday Benson!!
Hi effalicious,
I'm sorry that everybody's gone after raging all night long. Let's throw another party when I make the milestone of "whatever". Thanks for commenting.
(The closet door slowly opens. Christoph comes out sheilding his eyes.) Where is everybody? Are they in the kitchen? Wha...what happened? What day is it?
Dear Benson
I am so sad I missed the party, but I promise to attend your next one.
Anyway, well done Benson Yeung.
Hi Christoph,
Everybody is everywhere. Only you are in the kitchen. Of course, nothing really happened, we only wished it (or parts of it) had happened. But the fun was much better than if it did happen. At least your hang-over is much easier to cope with this way. This is 26 Feb 09, just another day on hubpages. Thanks for being the last guess leaving.
Hi KH,
thanks for dropping by. I'll make sure we'll have another party soon, say to celebrate my 105th hub, may be.
Original concept! I like your writing style, very refreshing :)
Hi Direxmd,
thanks for dropping by. With such nice things to say, you're always welcome.
I would just like to point out that Christoph just came out of the closet up there and got no support for his courage. I, for one, applaud your strength, Christoph.
Hi Shades,
sorry that I made a mistake and locked you into the house. I'm happy to let you go now.
Happy Birthday you are looking good for your age.What would you like for your present? Can I use this great celebration as an excuse to have a Bourbon or a Midori.Where is everyone? Come on I am in the mood for a party here.I would like to see you Benson pop out of a cake,yahoooooooo.
Oh by the way I had a 'Hard On' the other night at a party ooooooo.It was sooo good.One part Baileys Irish Cream one part some bananna stuff. I got in trouble going around asking who wants a hard on haha.I make all my own grog at home.Bourbon,rum,Malibu,anything one desires,so I get to taste test,that is the only reason I try.
Hi blondepoet,
thanks for coming to help clean up. The party was of course over. We can wait a while before we throw the next one, probably at your place, so we won't have a shortage of grog.
Sorry I left the party so early-- well maybe not, I might not have fit in with the rowdy crowd, and obviously there would have been no one to drive me home.
Driving from Hong Kong to California is dangerous enough when you are sober.
Yes you are all welcome to come to my place for a party,the grog is on the house.I also have a big kitchen I missed out on the last romp in there,I WANT IN.Plus Funride has volunteered to be the floor show.
Hi Rochelle,
You're exactly right. We descent people (implying there are also indescent people) know how to stay out of trouble.
Hi blondepoet,
That sounds great. Let's give the boys and girls some time to recuperate and we'll rage again.
I can't believe I missed it - sorry Benson - hope your sore head is better by now as is those who were dancing on tables, puking and peeing in bins, hogging all the jello shots and singing - do hope all the cleaning up is finished... actually on second thoughts I thionk i may have arrived at the right time.....Happy Happy Hubbing Birthday to you!!
Hi ajcor,
thanks for dropping by. Timing is right, I mean, my place is finally clean again.
Congrats Benson, wish you many more great years. Cheers :)
Hi cgull8m,
thanks for dropping by. good to see you.
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go - o - o !!!
With apologies to the Beatles!
:)
Hi quicksand,
you're still here. I thought your left 10 days ago. LOL.
