[/quote]

No. Guests are one team, hosts are another. The people discussing the guests are all hosts – me, **dotchan** , and **bbs2k**. If you guys want to talk to or about each other, that’s fine, but it shouldn’t be with the intention of discerning or revealing quirks – that’s the job of the hosts

You’re welcome to hang around, but (speaking as a former guest), it gets signficantly less interesting once you’re no longer playing, and I usually lose interest after getting outed.

You’re on your own there, kiddo.

Other hosts, do you feel confident enough in quirk to hazard a guess?  
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I’ll make it official:

**Purplkid\_Caterer** includes a tired cliche in each post.

From? Well, I just got in from Easter Island, if that’s what you mean. As for customs, I must admit I got the rubber-glove treatment this time. Not fun, but I don’t let it get to me.

If I were you, I’d put a little ointment on that and get some rest.  
[QUOTE=Anaamika]  
The biggest issues from my mother come down to , and my aunt and cousin (I call him my brother) don't care about much. And I also feel $ doesn’t make you happy!

Yes, but isn’t a little money worth a stable family? I think you ought to consider investing in your family’s well-being.

Well, rather than hold my breath waiting to see if the hosts got that one right, let’s keep on rockin’.

I’ll make some shots. Who wants a kamikaze with me?

**OneCentStamp** , who’s your favorite actress?

**Zoggie** , is there anything you think I could improve on in terms of the party?

I’m not sure green is her best color. I think a nice mauve skirt and a white blouse is more fitting.

It’s a lovely party, but not all of your guests seem receptive to the idea of change from within. And I’m not quite sure about the ambiance. Never be afraid of color, dear.

Does Divine count? _::shit-eating grin::_😛

Seriously, though, I like Cate Blanchett very much. I admire Jodie Foster as well. I also find myself partial to Scarlett Johanssen, but can’t tear myself away from the hotness long enough to speak intelligently on her acting chops.

I’ve got nothing on him.

Re: **Zoggie** – I think you’re on the right track, but suspect it’s more specific than that – advice columnist, maybe, or mother?

1. I’ve set up a forbidden thread [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=440158)

Please make your guesses about your fellow guests there. In here, all the guests are on the same team… I encourage interaction between guests, though, so it won’t merely be the hosts trying to drag posts out of the players.
