[QUOTE=dotchan] (Hey, other guests…please start posting! Keeping silent so we can’t guess your quirks is cheating. :P) [/QUOTE] Absolutely. And if you feel you’re shy, socializing at a party can help. Make an effort to get out, have a good time. Even the most socially awkward of us can have a good time if we try. A little trick I like to use is asking other people questions–people love to talk about themselves! ---

[QUOTE=Zoggie] people love to talk about themselves! [/QUOTE] No, that was last game. And I’m _not_ taking my shirt off again. All those guys ( **dnooman** , **MadTheSwine** , **MHaye** , etc.) got enough of an eyeful then, IMO. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] **fachverwirrt** , I’m thinking of a phrase, but I’m having trouble finishing it, it begins “The rain in Spain…” Do you know this one? [/QUOTE] If you’re having trouble remembering things, doing a few short mental exercises at night before you go to bed can help you out. Or if you’re waiting for the bus, cooking dinner, in between watching TV–every little bit helps! ---

(Host notes: I think guesses need to be in all bold.) **Kat** , would you like some hors d’oeuvres? And I’m going to hazard a guess at Zoggie… **Zoggie is (or thinks he/she is) writing an advice column** ---

Hey **Kat** , I heard they’re making a new season of The Simple Life, but they’re looking for some new people. I think it sounds like a cool idea, the concept was so fresh, even if Paris and Nicole were a bit annoying. Karaoke time! \*\* fachverwirrt \*\*is up first! Could you sing… :: digs through collection :: Ah ha! Madonna - Like a Virgin. ---

[QUOTE=dotchan] **Kat** , would you like some hors d’oeuvres? [/QUOTE] Question? No one told me that there were going to be questions!? What do you people think I am, **Cecil Adams** or something? Oh, no, wait. I can answer that one… Sure, I’d love some hors d’oeuvres. ---

[QUOTE=Purplkid\_Caterer] Yes, I know what you mean, but blood is thicker than water. Enjoy your beverage of choice and enjoy the party! [/QUOTE] Yes! Drink! Drink! Drink until you cannot drink any more! As long as I am here, not one of your four Humors will be disturbed by your drink (But your beverage of choice had better be wine) [QUOTE=OneCentStamp] I’ll make some shots. Who wants a kamikaze with me? [/QUOTE] You truly do not learn. Disrespect wine again, and prepare to be smited! ---

So, **Taber** , do you feel a special affinity for the vine? (Host notes: His last post about humors and being smited seems to suggest that he’s Dionysus, god of wine…but obviously I need to poke at him more.) ---

Food, drink, music? I saw an awesome episode of Dog Whisperer this weekend, he trains this German Sherpard to stop jumping at the mailman, have you seen anything good recently?
