Are sequins part of the dress code? And if so, will my sequinned sporran suffice? I'm sorry, but I will not be able to wear the Montsnmags Tartan Kilt for my first party (at least I think this is my first party -- I have no recollection of any others, but that might just be proof that I have attended them; my head hurts too much when I try to work this one out) since the UK still classifies the Monstmags Tartan as a Weapon of Mass Delusion, and as such may not be imported or used in the UK (except for the 3 weeks prior to an election, or in the case of a British player getting into the 2nd week of Wimbledon tennis tournament). I am currently experimenting with a rotating fractal tartan, but it is causing problems when trying to measure the material for cutting (that and five tailors have now been hypontised whilst working with it into thinking that investing in banking shares is a good idea and have been transferred to the poor house). As a consequence I may have to resort to the Sleeping Tartan (sort of like a cloak of invisibility, but with brighter colours).

Incidentally, are we permitted to bring pets? I have two pet McSweens haggis (named Hilda and Horace), and if you can provide a suitably angled slope for them to run about on, they can provide hours of entertainment and have been trained to eat grey squirrels on sight. Or even on site. And their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody is something that has to be believed to be seen (have you ever seen a haggis playing an electric guitar?).

I believe Marc has this covered with the aid of his time-machine: he should be able to make as much time as you need, assuming you can provide the machine with enough surreal colours.

Well you were certainly there at the last/next one I wuz at .

Thanks for the laugh - I've never/will never have such a fine time again....

Is your new avatar a result of one of these parties? It looks like nerve endings, all on fire and a-tingle. That's certainly what MY nerves feel like, after a party.

Don't worry, folks. He's like this beforeduringafter every Party. Unofficial EmCee and official Party Entertainment (especially during the Dance of 1000 Squirrels, when he crunks in synch with the nominative numbered Ninjas while dressed as Janet Jackson and lip-syncing Rhythm Nation) takes a lot out of the lad, particularly memory.

Cheers,
Marc

Do you also have some orange juice at these parties, otherwise I'm not sure I will have want to be there...

As mentioned, "every taste catered to". Adrian, often in charge of (ie. taking over) the bar, reportedly makes the most luscious orange juice, pulped or unpulped (his purple is pretty good too, not to mention the zorange).

Cheers,
Marc

If there is a party scheduled, I'll get started on the trenches .... they were inordinately useful at the last party - remember .... ?

pshrynk · 02-25-2009, 09:53 AM

No, but that was why they were useful...

GeoffC · 02-25-2009, 09:56 AM

It is certainly true that I regularly suffer a DRAM deficiency and as such I must have a regular dram intake..... <hic>

GeoffC · 02-25-2009, 10:16 AM

or even a triple

ShortNCuddlyAm · 02-25-2009, 10:20 AM

A single cask

(but not to drink in one go)

GeoffC · 02-25-2009, 10:21 AM

Problem is the whisky in a cask has to be cut first ....
