is this a good thing?

Hint: just watch how fast it drops down the list...

Bridget arrives late to find everyone stumbling drunk, then proceeds to sample the delicious fare, smiling in delight as she discovers a lone shrimp left over in the paella.

i've brought along a case of Moet, as well as Cointreau and Chambord, even lemon twists.... Kir Royales to all who are still able to raise a drink to their mouths

Not this lady, you won't. I have never been more than
buzzed in my life, and that only a couple of times. It
scares me. (One of the buzzes gives an all-too-well-remembered memory of seizing the microphone at a party
jam session, and well, the resultant sounds were--rather awful, to put it mildly!)

Don't you worry BYB. You don't have to think diet today. I'm bringing the lyrics of all the songs we sing in a good 'ole French Canadian party, which, naturally, includes lots of energetic dancing (and some, o.k. well more than just some, drinking)

Since a French Canadian party is not one without hearty traditional fare I am bringing roasted wood grouse with mushroom stuffing and tourtière, a wonderful meat pie made from wild game. As dessert I am bringing gâteau chômeur, a rich, heavy white cake baked in a thick brown sugar and cream sauce, and some sugar pie. Hey, it's cold in Canada, we need all this heavy stuff to keep us going .

'Allo, all my French Canadian pals. We need that "stuff" here in New England, too! And it sounds delish. May I sneak over to your table for tastes?
(As she nods to herself thinking "Yet something more to be grateful for from our friends to the north")
wow

The way I remember it.... (fading out and in focus)

...As morning on the 15th breaks and I'm about to drop my Zild and Oz buddies on their doorsteps, they learn of my next destination (my SST is fueled and ready to show up at RhubarbCommando's for shots of Jameson) and they climb aboard. After a brief visit in Italy (where emanuela insists upon joining us (we were falling apart by then)) we arrive at Jo's just after dinner (RhubarbCommando has been there for hours) where we find ourselves singing Shakespere sonnets with five different accents (and in six different keys (Ives would be proud))! A quick touch down on the US eastern seaboard (to pick-up some AWAD Board (bored) ladies and a swoop across Mid-America (we had to get tsuwm, Jackie and the rest before bedtime) we finally arrive at LA International, where a host of limo's empty themselves into our fuselage. Our final destination (even though we are all dressed up like a Mardi-Gras crowd) is a place where everyone gets leid, and WOW, can that girl cook! Finally we...

(ps. my memory about that day is quite fuzzy (duh), so I'm sure y'all were there, except Anu (or maybe he was dressed up in the fuzzy dice))

A former colleague of mine who was born and dragged up in Columbus felt that Ohio was doing that to him, too, so he came to NZ! I'm convinced, however, that it was more to do with the great parties he throws. He always seemed fuzzy to me, specially about 11 p.m. on a Saturday night.



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

it is possible to eat and drink well on a restricted diet; it just takes some figuring out

Well, naturally - dieting is only necessary if your figure is out
