Nice…straw…you got there, Nen!

Does lilah know you’re here? Maybe I’d better invite her, just to keep you out of trouble!

Hey, lilah! Come join the party! Nen’s got his pants off and ChrisP’s running around here somewhere in a backwards orange jockstrap…

Struuter, as I told you, if you’ll just come over here with me I’ll show you how to put that on. And how to take it right back off again 😉

What’s that you say? Yes, I am happy to see you 😉

Any particular reason why you so vehemently point this out??  
::eek::

I’m waiting for Coldfire’s official felching interpretations: “How to and why”

Sunshine, congratulations on your 200th post!

How much longer until 1000th is directly related to how much you flirt, you know.

Man, the last few days I’ve just been partying like its 1999…um…nevermind

Okay Chief just started Kareoke. I’m next.

At first I was afraid,  
I was petrified.

without you by my side

but then I spent so many nights  
just thinkin’ how you did me wrong  
and I grew strong,  
I learned how to get a long…

Woo hoo! I love karaoke!

…and now you’re back, from outer space  
When you walk in the door with that same old look upon your face…  
and you see me, with somebody new…I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you…

Good to see ya, **Chief, DRY**! _(smilies aborted for this post)_

Take your pants off and sidle up to the giant margarita…Nen has straws.

I should have changed that stupid lock  
I should have made you leave your key  
If I’d have known for just one second  
You’d be back to bother me…

Hey Sunshine…very nice party.  
Let me know when you start in with the Emerson, Lake and Palmer karaoke…

Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but why have all the songs played so far been from the seventies? Is this the theme for karaoke today?

Inquiring minds must know, but I guess I’ll settle for another margarita and some maraschino cherries.

[walks in carrying two large coconuts, a set of rubber gloves, a penlight, a beheaded GI Joe doll, a can of bon ami cleanser, and three bungee cords].

I didn’t have time to put this together or I would’ve missed the party, but trust me, these are the makings of a GREAT gift!!

[tries to put car keys into pocket and from pile in arms drops a previously not-visible large tube of KY jelly and what looks suspiciously like a male blow-up doll, still deflated]

Oops.
