Not me. I brought cupcakes.

And I think we need to change the music now.

Hey, now, I’m all for the fun and games, but I draw the line at lobbing me about.

Besides there are much more interesting conversations that you can have with me. Or about me. Just as long as it involves me somehow.

No, not really. I prefer more contemporary music. Something from within the last 30 years or so would be fine with me.

Once upon a time I took some math classes. But I’ve always found something vaguely unsettling about some aspects of number theory, so I gave it up.

Yeah, I figured you might **be uncomfortable with odd numbers** to the point of **not liking posting in odd posts.**

Thank you, fluiddruid, for making my job a little bit easier. Maybe I will relax and have some fun at this party after all.

(with apologies to my cohosts if this is just dead wrong… pprgrl hasn’t said much so far)

I think they’re playing strip canasta over in that corner; I hope you get lots of pairs because you obvious **like to use double letters in your posts.**

Not at all. It’s merely that I’m certain everyone is more interested in _my_ taste in music. I’m sure yours is fine. Yours is wonderful.

Can we go back to discussing me now?

Well…we should try to present our ideas as clearly as possible, even if we are cutting loose.

All right, we’ll agree not to say ‘irregardless’, but other than that, let’s make this a happy party.  
Now go play cards and get naked.

Oh, I haven’t played Twister in _years_. I think that would be a lot of fun, too! Can you set it up between hands so I can play, too?

Oooo, can I run the spinner? Everyone has to pay attention to the person with the spinner. They’re the most important person in the game. 🙂

You guys go ahead and play twister. I’d rather dance with Blaster Master, he’s a ton more fun than anybody here.
