**Revenant** my dear, if you want a political argument, you have simply to read the posts in GD or IMHO.

Yea! 🙂 A Party! I haven’t been to a party in a long time.

I brought a bottle of Kat Knapp White wine (isn’t it a cute kitty on the bottle?) and some stuffed snow peas. The pink ones (on a separate plate, just in case anyone has seafood allergies) have crabmeat, the yellow ones have egg salad, and the other ones have herb cream cheese in them.

Hello, everyone. It’s really great to be here. Thanks again for inviting me.  
Do y’all mind if I get a few candid shots of everyone, while we’re here? I really enjoy being able to look back, after an event, and have those little mementos of what everyone was doing during the party.

So, has anyone been invited to any of Obama’s parties? I bet those were something to see, back in the day.

I went to one just the other day, in fact. Scarlett Johansson was there dancing topless on the tables. It was sweet.

Now, _there_’d be some really popular party mementos, wouldn’t there?

How did you score an invite to that party? D’you think that we’ll find any celebs crashing this party?

Want me to get you a refill on your drink?

So, do you have any food in a tube? I have this condition where I can’t eat solid food. Thanks.

I don’t have anything that _started_ in a tube, but I guess you could always blenderize some broccoli and stick it in a tube.

Well, I haven’t seen any food like that, quite yet. But I suspect that **Omi no Kami** could help you out. Once the blender gets located.

Just a reminder: Keep the lid on the blender while you’re using it. (Unless Scarlett Johansson is nearby - in which case you should _point_ the blender at her, and call me over. If she has a good reason to go topless again, I don’t want to miss it!)

Man, I don’t know if that’s entirely kosher: boozing up a celebrity is one thing, but using a blender as a weapon? Heresy!

(P.S.: If you’re going to mix up food and fire it at her, allow me to recommend coleslaw. You get a wider spread than cranberry juice, but it has more stopping power.)

Hey! I’m not proud. If I get to see celeb boobies, I don’t care _why_ I get to see 'em.

But I will take note of your vast experience, just in case I might need it, in the future.

**brujaja** , now, now… we’re just talking about hypothetical uses for blenders, besides reducing foods to a smooth consistency. Not actually planning anything.

So what kind of parties do you have out in the country, **tdn**? Tell us all about 'em, please.
