Welcome to my 100th post party!  
On the official\* invitation list:  
andygirl(cohost)  
singlefiles(cohost)  
shadowfox  
aetbond  
dpr  
gunslinger  
sf ca us  
dry  
monster  
tsime  
\*Note that an implicit invitation will do, or you can just show up 😉

I brought free beer.  
Andygirl, from what I hear, is giving out chocolate sponge baths.  
Aetbond has some wierd idea about a goat and pagan dancers.  
100 flavors of ice cream are being served.  
Once enough party goers arrive silly string is to be distributed.  
Games of no holds barred truth or dare are in progress.  
Gunslinger was kind enough to supply illegal fireworks.  
And the word “congratulations” is banned.  
Let me know if I forget anything.

Ahem! I think it was me who suggested the pagan dancers and the sacrificial goat.

Unfortunately, the goat had to be sacrificed last evening in order to appease the health gods, who have chosen to strike me down with one of the worst headaches of my entire life. It must have worked, I feel much better today.

So, where’s the beer?

dont ya hate it when two people bring the same thing? jk shadowfox, sorry about the mistaken identity. And no offense, but maybe we are better off **without** the goat.  
I see one of your dancers has arrived…  
And to your left are 100 kegs of beer. Help yourself.

I’m here! I’m here! I just got home from work.

\<breaks out the chocolate\>

Who wants a sponge bath? From a genuine lesbian, no less! 😉

(I’m so glad quietgirl doesn’t have internet access except through my computer… she would be murdering me right about now.)

:::peers timidly around the door:::

Uh, hello? I’m unfortunately straight, and really, really feel sorry for the poor goat, but even implied invitations are better than none. And I like beer!

Whooo, pity about the pagan dancer! Well, there’s something to be said for dying with your toga on. Mostly. (Short toga, wasn’t it! Don’t let the necrophiliacs know.)

whoa! I must have passed out! well thanks everyone for coming. I suppose the party ought to end now. But then TVeblen is nearing 2000, maybe he’ll have a small celebration 😉  
I am now more than 5% of the way there.

Can I be invited, even though I didn’t make it in here (stupid, stinkin’ computer! shrackle, phrackle…)

and after I’d gone to the trouble of buying extra chocolate too!

Congrats, andygirl, eyor, anyone who stayed sober long enough to watch the dancers…
